The Premise
This tournament is balanced around having the best overall team, not by outdrafting using a single skillset. Feel free to use this tournament as a 5WC-Tryout experience and to get some tournament nerves out of the way, before the real deal starts.
Because of this, a different scoring system, both for actual points received per map, as well as team-points for a map-pick, has been implemented. Please read this short summary, with a following example:
A BestOfX (X being 9, 13, 15 etc.) will have X-1 maps played, meaning BO9 => 8 Maps, BO13 => 12 Maps etc.
Mod multipliers are removed to smoothen out the huge score difference they can make. The notable exception is EZ, which has a 2.0-(0.25*([AR Value]-7)) (link for visualization) formula.
Scores are then added as a running total of all maps played in the match.
At the end of all maps that were required to be played, a per-round Tiebreaker-difference is checked to see if a tiebreaker is necessary to find the actual winner of the match. This score is weighted 1:1, so no extra multiplier for tiebreakers.
Example scenario:
- Assume the current match is being played in RO64
- The match is a BestOf 9
- Teams pick by the ABAB pattern
- Once a map has been played, mod multipliers will be removed by the referee, with the exception of EZ receiving an automatic multiplier based on the AR
- The scores of each team will be added up to their running total score for the entire match
- A total of 8 maps will be played (BO9 means "Play 8 maps")
- Assume the total score for "Team A" is 10,000,000
- Assume the total score for "Team B" is 10,300,000
- The tiebreaker will be played due to the total difference not being > 300,000 (this number changes per round)

Mappool
Mappools will be made available by tuesday or wednesday, depending on staff availability.
All mappools will include NM1-5, HD1-3, HR1-3, DT1-3, FM1-2 and TB1. Later stages will include FM3, with NM6 being added for finals.
Also, mappools will feature "weird" maps in their respective skill slots (as indicated by the tournament name). This means (mostly) no single skill maps, and some skill slots will be swapped where applicable for the specific pool (e.g. HD3 and NM3).
