Reschedules

If you need to reschedule a match, please do so at least 24 hours before your scheduled match to be guaranteed a reschedule.
Rescheduled times should be given in UTC+0.
Players should first contact their opponent to work out a reschedule. If you can’t figure something out or if the opposing player does not respond, please contact a tournament coordinator.

Qualifier Procedures

Captains will schedule their qualifier lobby in #scheduling.
All maps will be played with NF and ScoreV2
Captains will be invited to their qualifier lobby 10 minutes before the scheduled time.
A team must have at least a full two-man roster for the first map. If a team does not show up after 15 minutes, they will have to reschedule to another lobby.
A 90 second timer will be set in between each map, your team must have a full roster present by the end of this timer.
If a player disconnects within the first 30 seconds of a map, the match will be aborted. Otherwise, the map will still be played in full. Then, the disconnected player can send the referee a screenshot of their local score if able, and it will be used.
Every map, one (and only one) of the players on your roster needs to take HD in addition to the modpool’s selected mods. (ex. HD on NM maps, HDHR on HR maps, HDDT on DT maps.)
All maps will be played in order once

Bracket Stage Procedures

A lobby will be created, and captains will receive pings 15 minutes before the match and invites 5 minutes before the match. Captains (or someone else if needed) are expected to invite all of their present team members to the lobby.
If a complete two-man roster isn't in the lobby 15 minutes after the scheduled time, the opposing team will win by default.
Each team may choose one warmup not exceeding 4:00 in length, you may skip your warmup if desired.
Each team will roll (!roll) to determine what the pick and ban order is.
Roll winner decides either pick/ban order (their choice), and the other team decides the remaining order (pick/ban).
You will have 120 seconds each to determine picks and bans. If a team fails to ban/pick a map within the allotted time, they lose their pick/ban and it goes to the opposing team.
There are no restrictions to what maps you can pick/ban.
Every map, one (and only one) of the players on your roster needs to take HD in addition to the modpool’s selected mods. (ex. HD on NM maps, HDHR on HR maps, HDDT on DT maps.)
On TieBreaker maps, one player on each roster must have HD like usual, however the second player not taking HD can choose any mod they want from the following:
NM, HD, HR, EZ, FL.
