Discord Server
After successfully completing these steps, you will be registered for the tournament!
If, by any chance, there are problems with your registration, we will contact you and provide further instructions.
Also please note that restricted and/or banned players are not allowed to participate in the tournament and will be immediately disqualified with no exceptions.
Qualifier Stage
The Qualifier Stage will be played in the first week of tournament play to eliminate the amount of players down to a preferred number, being the closest possible multiplication of 4 (4, 8, 12, 16, etc...). If the amount of participants exceeds 32, everyone ranked worse than #32 in the Qualifier Stage will be eliminated.
This stage consists of 5 predetermined maps, each testing a different skillset in an attempt to accurately rank players in performance and will be released approximately one week before the stage. Players will play all 5 maps twice in a scheduled lobby. The highest score of both attempts of every map will be counted. A referee will invite you 5 minutes before the scheduled time and will provide you with further instructions. There will be no warm ups in the Qualifier Stage, so please warm up before your lobby starts.
Player performances will be ranked according to the average rank of the player across all 5 maps. In case of a tie, the player with the higher total score will be on top. This means that you essentially will be playing against every other player of the tournament in this stage and not only the players in your lobby.
Bracket Stages
The Bracket Stages consists of a double-elimination bracket with the remaining players. Each stage, except the Grand Finals will feature a new mappool that gets released approximately one week before their respective stage. The size of the mappool will depend on the stage.

Round of 16: Best-of-9, first to 5 points wins. The mappool contains 12 freemod maps and 1 tiebreaker map.
