Battle Royale Mechanic:
The way this works is that the player with the lowest score after each map gets knocked out of the tournament. This of course doesn't apply for during qualifiers.

Registrations:
To register, click on the hyperlinked "REGISTRATIONS" text at the top of this post and fill out the form! (don't forget to leave a comment here to keep this post at the top of the listing :3)

Qualifiers Procedure:
Players will sign up for a lobby during the 2 weeks after registrations end. The end of the second week (Friday to Monday) is were players will play each map. If a player is late to the start of the qualifier match they're allowed to play the maps they missed at the end of the lobby. If a player misses their qualifier match they're allowed to reschedule to another time. There will be 4NM/2HD/2HR/2DT. Seedings are calculated by adding together each players' placement on each map. The player with the lowest sum of placement (it's like golf) will be seeded the highest.

BWS:
Badges will be used to calculate BWS ranks. Though this will not affect the number of registrants accepted as this is an open rank tournament! Here is the formula we're using:


Bracket Rounds:
As stated above, the Battle Royale mechanic will be used here. The top 4 players of each lobby will move on to the next round. There will be 3 rounds in total: Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Finals. The Finals will be of course were the winner is decided! QF and SF have 5NM/2HD/2HR/2DT/1TB and the Final round has 6NM/2HD/2HR/3DT/2TB

Attendance:
If one or more player isn't able to make it to the match or doesn't show up, that amount of maps will not have a player knocked out. For example: 2 players missed a match. All maps will still be played but the first two will not eliminate anyone. This is to keep things as fair for everyone as possible (in terms of getting warmed up).

Map Ordering:
Each round's pools will be played in a predetermined order. The order will be chosen by the playtesters and announced to the players at the beginning of each week. Generally the order will be easy maps to start, stupid hard maps in the middle, and then hard maps at the end (may change in the future).

Mappools:
Enough people have asked questions about how the mappools will work that I have decided to add another section! All rounds will have their own dedicated pools (you can see how many picks of each mod there are in the prior sections). The NM1 star ratings of each pool are the following (and if you're interested in o!BR2's mappools click here):
Qualifiers - 6.6*
Quarterfinals - 6.8*
Semifinals - 7.1*
Finals 7.5*
TBs are freemod but no mods will be forced (except NF)! EZ will get a 1.5x multiplier!
