  2. The maps for each round will be announced by the mapset selector in advance on the Sunday before the actual matches take place. Only these will be used during the respective matches.
    • One map will be given as a tiebreaker map. This map will only be played in case of a tie.
    • All maps are in a FreeMod bracket.
  3. Match schedule will be settled by the Tournament Management (see below).
  4. If no staff or referee is available, the match will be postponed.
  5. Failed players' scores do not get added to the team score.
    • Reviving and surviving during a map gets considered as passing it.
  6. Use of the Visual Settings options are allowed.
  7. If the game ends in a draw, the game will be nullified.
  8. If a player disconnects, they get treated as if they failed the map.
  9. Maps cannot be reused in the same match unless the game was nullified.

  15. Any modification of these rules will be announced.

    • Tournament Management declares one candidate to the captain of the country's team, albeit temporarily.
    • The declared captain can form their team from the candidate list of their country.

    • Most maps won.
    • Have higher ∑{(total score difference) / (maximum score)}.

  3. Each captain can ban two beatmaps to be selected from the pool. These beatmaps are not allowed to be picked by any team in the entire match.
    • Both vetos must always be used.
  4. Beatmap selection will alternate between each captain selecting a beatmap out of the map pool.
