4. If a team fails to join their lobby 5 minutes after the scheduled time, they may choose to play the maps they missed at the end of the lobby (with the referee's permission) or reschedule to another lobby.
5. Following qualifiers, the top 16 teams will move onto a double-elimination bracket stage where teams will be seeded using power seeding (#1 vs #16, #2 vs #15, etc.)

1. A referee will create a lobby and invite the captains. Captains are responsible for inviting their team into the lobby.
2. Teams are expected to show up to matches on time.
3. If a team fails to join the match 5 minutes from the scheduled match time, they will lose their roll and their ban(s).
4. If a team fails to join the match 10 minutes from the scheduled match time, they will forfeit.
5. It is a player's responsibility to come prepared for the match. If a player comes unprepared, the referee may use their judgement as they see fit.

7. NF will be enforced on all maps.
8. Captains will roll for picks and bans. The winner of the roll may choose pick order or protect/ban order. The loser will choose the remaining order. (Ban order and protect order are combined meaning if a team chooses to ban second, they also protect second.)

16. If a team fails to have 2 players in the lobby by the end of the ready timer, they shall be given an extension of 15 seconds to do so. If a team still fails to front 2 players by the end of the extension, the point shall be automatically given to the other team.
17. Due to the win condition of the tournament being average accuracy, 1v2s are strictly prohibited at any point in the match regardless of circumstance.
18. Tiebreakers are played with Freemod enabled, however, do not require players to use a mod. Due to the win condition of the tournament, EZ is prohibited on tiebreakers.
19. In the event a map ends in a tie, the map shall be replayed until a winner is decided. Replays must be played with the original roster.
20. In the event of a disconnection, an abort/replay may be called if it occurred within the first 30 seconds of the map. Other than that, common sense will be applied. If proof exists of the disconnected player's score (or a rough estimate of their hypothetical score if they finished the map), it will be used. If it is at all ambiguous, that player’s score shall be considered zero. Each team is granted one replay per match.
21. Disconnections are considered to be unexpected, game-breaking events out of a player’s control (i.e. keyboard/tablet/mouse malfunction, system failure, internet disconnect, etc). Offset, background dim, etc. ARE NOT considered valid reasons to call for an abort/replay as players may fix these on their own time.
