The following details were taken directly from GotFrag.com:

GotFrag is excited to announce our Call of Duty 4 PC tournament, hosted by GameBattles. As you may know, GotFrag considered changing to CoD5 with the impending release and indecisiveness of the community. After much deliberation and coming to the realization that CoD5 was not ready for competition on this level, GotFrag will be following the general consensus of the CoD community and hosting CoD4 this time around. You get what you want!

Along with that change, we have made several other small changes in response to community feedback, and in order to streamline the event. We understand what this community wants, and we are here to bring it to you, unforced. With that being said, the ladder portion proposed for the original CoD4 event has been completely removed in favor of a straight forward, 32 team - double elimination bracket tournament.

As far as competitive mods are concerned, we understand that this issue still has not been completely ironed out by the community. We have seen that a considerable percentage of you prefer DAMN mod, and with the continued direct support of its developer, we believe it is the best choice for this particular event.

Wave after wave, the enemy keeps coming. Air strikes raining down, grenades are falling and comrades are dropping all around. This is your call to duty! With years of experience as your eSports authority, GotFrag is pleased to announce the GotFrag CoD 4 Tournament. Everyone can participate, so whether you are a seasoned pro or an aspiring newbie, take a shot and sign up!

Update: For those wishing to sign up and pay for an entire team (manager etc), When a leader creates a team, they then have the option to invite new members. When inviting, they also have the option to pay for the player's entry themselves, or require that the new member pay for the registration fee.
