-BWS will use the following formula (pending badges will not be included):
BWS rank = rank^(0.99^(badges*(badges+2.75)/2))
-There will be a qualifiers stage and the top 32 teams will move on to the main tournament (we will only consider Ro64 if there is a very high number of signups)

General Rules
-Invites will be sent to team captains 5-10 minutes before match start by the referee.
-If the team captain cannot make it, one of the other two players will receive the invite.
-Team members have up to 5 minutes after match start to show up. If they don't the match will be considered a forfeit.
-If you cannot make to the match it is possible to reschedule up until 24 hours before the match. Rescheduling requires both teams to agree on a time. Late reschedules will only be accepted if there is a referee available to take the match.
-If neither team shows up to the match in time, the higher seeded team will advance, although it is forbidden to abuse this rule to win matches by refusing to consider a reschedule.
-We do not allow async matches and will not give a referee for them, as we expect at least minimal time investment from the players.
-After the lobby is created, both captains will do !roll.
-The higher roll wins and gets to pick between either first/second pick or first/second ban. For example, if the roll winner chooses to pick first, then the roll loser can choose if they want to ban first or second and viceversa.
-NFV2 is enforced on all maps.
-If the map ends in a draw, it will be replayed.
-Each team has the right to pick a warmup map before rolls if they want so. The map shouldn’t be longer than 4 minutes and should not contain any sensitive materials that can get the twitch channel banned. If both teams agree before the match, they may pick only one map up to 8 minutes long rather than one map for each team.
Picks and bans
-You can pick two maps from the same mod pool in a row, however you cannot ban two maps from the same mod pool.
-Ban format: abba
-Captains/ chosen players have 120 seconds to pick or ban a map. If they fail to do so within the required time their pick/ban turn will be skipped.
-If a player leaves a map within 30 seconds after its start the referee may abort the map. This can only be done once per team per match.
Freemod Rules:
-Each team must have at least 1 unique mod on every player active on the same map. The following count as unique mods:
HD
HR / HDHR
EZ / EZHD
FL
-EZ multiplier is 1.5x score.
-TB may be played with any mod combination (Allowed mods: HD, HR, EZ, FL), including NM only.
