Before the Qualifier
- Sign up to a qualifier lobby using our Borealis Bot.
- You will be pinged on Discord 15 minutes before your qualifier starts, have your captain log in and be on standby within 10 minutes after the ping. Invites to the qualifier lobby will be given out to captains 5 minutes before the qualifier begins, captains are expected to invite their team to the lobby.
- Each team is required to set 2 players on each map, switching players between maps is allowed within a 120 second timeframe. On No-Show rescheduling for a later lobby is allowed.
- Disconnection in the first 30 seconds allow replaying the map at the end of the lobby, only one instance per team.
- If a team fails to send players for a map within the given time, their score counts as 0 for each missing player.
- Seeding will be calculated using Z-Sum.
Before the Match
- Default schedules will be handed out by the tournament organizers, you may change the time using our Borealis Bot in the provided match channel on our Discord.
- You will be pinged on Discord 15 minutes before your match starts, have your captain log in and be on standby within 10 minutes after the ping. Invites to the match lobby will be given out to captains 5 minutes before the match begins, captains are expected to invite their team to the lobby.
- Team Captains may choose to play 1 warmup map per team with a maximum length of 3 minutes. The warmup cannot be part of the current weeks mappool.
- Team Captains use the !roll command to roll a number from 1-100, the captain with the higher rolled number may choose the Protect/Ban/Pick order. The choices are 1st Protect/2nd Ban/1st Pick or 2nd Protect/1st Ban/2nd Pick.
- Team Captains each choose one map to protect.
- Team Captains choose maps to ban, if two bans are available the ban order will be ABBA. Protected maps as well as tiebreakers can not get banned.
- Team Captains pick maps to be played from the mappool alternatingly, gaining a higher score than the opposing team grants a point, the match ends once one team reaches the required amount of points to win.
- All of the above mentioned phases from Protecting to Picking maps will have 120 second timers. Failing to Protect/Ban in time will forfeit the action, failing to pick in time will result in a randomized pick.
- Each team receives a 2 minute timeout. This timeout will be forcefully invoked in the scenario of an action being submitted late. It has to be taken in one block and may only be called for after the first map has been played, and not right before the tiebreaker is played.
- Double Picking and Double Banning is disallowed, with NM maps being exempt from this rule.
- If at any point both teams are 1 point away from winning, the Tiebreaker map will be played. Teams will get 180 seconds to prepare for this map.
- Asynch matches will not be permitted. If a team is unable to field at least 2 players, they may attempt to reschedule within reason or are forced to forfeit.
