Applications are now officially open and they're ending on February 29th 23:59.

If you wish to apply for the tournament, you'll need to send a PM to Schultzika(me). Your message must contain links to your team's profiles (3 players). Soon after you should get a message of approval from me.
The only requirement for the tournament is that all players from each team have one of these flags(players do not necessarily need to be from the same country):

1. Serbia
2. Croatia
3. Slovenia
4. Bosnia and Herzegovina
5. Macedonia
6. Montenegro

Solo/duo applications are not taken into consideration. If you're having troubles finding teammates, there are plenty of players in #balkan channel or discord.

Rules regarding scheduling and rescheduling

1. No

If you wish to reschedule your match, you can't. That's why we have teams of 3.
Some matches will not be overseen by the tournament staff. That means the players will have to organize the matches themselves. Protocol for a match is stated bellow. Make sure to follow these rules. In case you have a question, feel free to ask any of the tournament staff members. There will surely be someone online at the time of each match.


Creating a room
When the time of your match comes, contact your opponents. Anyone can make the room you'll play in. The name of the room MUST follow this format:
OBC2019: (team x) vs (team y)
For example:
OBC2019: (team 13) vs (team 24)
The room must have a password (any password will do). When everyone enters the room, team with the higher pp sum MUST BE blue. The other team is red.
Players from the blue team MUST BE on slots 1 and 2 in the room, while the red ones MUST BE on 3 and 4.


Warmup
1. Blue team chooses warmup map - the map is played.
2. Red team chooses warmup map - the map is played.
-Warmup maps can be anything(ranked or not) but the length must be under 7 minutes.


Ban phase
3. In ban phase, blue team first bans one map, then the red one and so on(to ban a map, just type the name of the song in chat).
All teams have 2 bans available.
Tie break map cannot be banned.
IMPORTANT: A team doesn't have to use all their bans.


Playing
4. The match starts - red team chooses a map from the map pool, then the blue team and so on.
-After the map is selected, each team can substitute 1 player for the 3rd available. This can be done on every single map pick.
-This is repeated until one team wins(number of wins required depends on the tournament stage).
-Each map from the map pool can be played only once.
-Maps must be played with specified mods.
-Free mod maps are played with free mods, no mod must stay no mod.
If a team plays a freemod map, at least 1 of their members MUST USE EITHER HD, HR, OR BOTH
5. If the result is a tie, tie break map is played.
-Tie break is treated as freemod except nobody is forced to use any mods.
6. When the winner is decided, anyone from the winning team must send Schultzika a match link(when you create a multiplayer room under the Multiplayer tab BanchoBot will say "Match history available here").
-If you don't send Schultzika the match link - both teams get 0 points.


Missing players?

1. You're allowed to be 15 minutes late. If a team doesn't show up, they lose 4:0
2. Team is allowed to play with 1 member missing(1v2 is allowed though unrecommended)
3. If a player disconnects while playing, the map is played 1v2 until the end. Other maps are still 2v2 if the player reconnects
