- If a player is more than 10 minutes late to the for their match, the player inside the MP room will be declared the winner. If neither player appears, the player with the higher seed will be considered the winner.
- Players are required to protect 1 chart, and ban 1 chart in the pool, excluding the tiebreaker. Protected charts cannot be banned, and banned charts cannot be picked. The players shall use the !roll command in-game to determine the order in which charts are protected, banned, and picked. The order is as follows:
- Player with the higher roll: First Protect, First Pick
- Player with the lower roll: First Ban
- The Protect phase happens first, then Bans, then Picks.
- Each player will alternate picks based on the !roll results until a winner is determined based on the Best-of format for the round. If both players are tied on match point (e.g. 4-4 score in a Best-of-9), the players will play the tiebreaker map of the pool to determine the winner.
- Players are given 2 minutes to protect/ban/pick maps when it is their turn. Failure to do so means that the referee will protect/ban/pick at random in behalf of the player.
- Players are eligible to use a 2 minute tactical time out once per match. They are only allowed to use it when it is their turn to pick. It will take into effect after the pick timer has expired.
