- Qualifiers will be played using TeamVs and Score V2, with 2 players per team playing each map.
- No warmups during the qualifier stage.
- The mappool will be played through ONCE in order.
- Participants will have 90 seconds in between maps to change members and ready up for the next map
- If a team fails to join their lobby 5 minutes after the scheduled time, they may reschedule to another lobby.
- NF will be used on all maps.
Bracket Stage:
- Matches will be played in Last Man Standing Format.
- No warmups.
- There are no restrictions on picks or bans.
- All matches will be played using Head to Head, Score V2, except for the tiebreaker. The tiebreaker will be played using Team VS.
- NF will be used on all maps.
- If a team fails to join the match 5 minutes from the scheduled match time, they will lose their ban(s).
- If a team fails to join the match 10 minutes from the scheduled match time, they will forfeit.
- Captains roll for picks / bans. The winner of the roll may choose the pick order or ban order. The loser will determine the unchosen option.
- Teams will have 2 minutes for bans, should they fail to choose one within that time, they will lose their ban.
- Teams will have 2 minutes for picks, should they fail to choose one within that time, the pick will be given to the other team. This has no effect on the order of picks thereafter. This means a team may effectively pick 3 times in a row.
- Once a map has been chosen, teams will have 2 minutes to swap teammates and ready up. If the 2 minute timer ends, the referee will force a !mp start 15 command, and the match will start with whoever is in the lobby.
- Any combination of HD/HR/EZ/FL is allowed on a Freemod map. At least 1 player from each team must take at least one mod. The score of any EZ plays will be multiplied by 2.
- In case of both teams having one slot left with one life, the tiebreaker map will be played. The map will be played as a 2v2 TeamVS match.
- Tiebreakers are played with Freemod enabled, however players are not required to use a mod.
- In the event of a disconnection, the map can be replayed within the first 30 seconds. Otherwise, if there is proof of the disconnected players score, it will be used. Each team is allowed one replay per match. If no proof can be provided, the score will be set to 0.
- Disconnections are considered to be unexpected, game-breaking events out of a player’s control (i.e. keyboard/tablet/mouse malfunction, system failure, internet disconnect, etc). Offset, background dim, etc. ARE NOT considered valid reasons to call for an abort/replay as players may fix these on their own time.
- Each team will receive one “tactical timeout” of 2 minutes, to be used as extra time to ban, kick, or ready for a beatmap. The tactical timeout is optional.
- The tactical timeout may be called on a tiebreaker, provided that both teams agree to it.
- The two minutes cannot be split into any denominations.
Last Man Standing Rules:
Number of lives for each slot for each round:- Bottom score loses a life. If the bottom 2 scores of the lobby are the same, the following rules are applied:
If the bottom 2 scores are from different teams, those two players (in the same slots) will replay the map. Bottom score loses a life.
If the bottom 2 scores are from the same team, the slot with more lives will lose a life. - A player can only play for 3 maps in a row when there are 2 slots available for the team, but only 2 maps in a row when there is 1 slot available. This rule DOES NOT apply to the tiebreaker.
Scenario:
By map 2 - slot 2 loses both their lives. (One slot left)
If a team is unable to field another player after the 3 maps, the following punishment will be triggered:
The team will automatically lose 1 life. The slot with more lives loses a life. If both slots have the same number of lives, then the first slot loses a life.Following this punishment, these sets of rules are applied for the punished team:
- The lineup for the next map cannot be the same as the previous map for the punished team. If a team is unable to field a different lineup for the next map, they will forfeit the match.
- The number of maps played for the players are NOT reset. However, a player is allowed to play one extra map (as long as the lineup is different).
- The team cannot voluntarily take the punishment.
- If this punishment is triggered twice by the same team, they will forfeit the match.
Scenario:
In both scenarios, both slots are available.Since Player A and Player B have played 3 maps in a row, Player C and Player D must substitute in.
Since Player A and Player B played 3 maps in a row, the team is unable to field two new players. The team loses 1 life from the slot with the most amount of lives and must substitute Player C in.
