Before the match, players will be pinged by the referee 15 Minutes before the scheduled time and will be asked to give their warm ups for the match. Failing to give warm ups 5 minutes before the match will result skipping your team's warmup. Once all players are in the lobby team's selected warm ups will be played.

Failing to join a match 10 minutes after scheduled time will be loss by default

After warm ups are done players will be asked to do !roll, only one person from both teams will do !roll. If both rolls are tied there will be a reroll. The team with the highest roll will protect a map first and the team with the lowest roll will ban a map first. When a map gets banned that map won't be picked for the current match.

Ban and Protect format:
A = high roll
B = low roll

ABBA

Once bans and protects are done the team with the highest roll will have 2 minutes to pick a map and to lock in their line up for their pick. After the first map has been picked the other team will also have 2 minutes to pick a map and this will go on until one team wins the most rounds in the match. If both teams have a match point the tiebreaker will be played.

If a team doesn't pick a map after the 2 minutes a random map will be picked by the ref. And once both players are ready the round will start instantly.

If a player disconnects before 30 seconds of the current map the map will be replayed but if a player disconnects after 30 seconds that will already be a round loss for that team.


Qualifier Procedurehopefully it isnt rigged like last year xDD

Before the qualifiers starts teams must select a time and day on when they want to do their qualifiers. Referees will ping the players 15 minutes before the scheduled time and invites will be sent 5 minutes before the scheduled time. Both players from each team must play in the lobby. Being unable to bring all team members after 15 minutes after scheduled time the team must reschedule to a different qualifier time or else they will skip their qualifiers.

Updated Qualifier Rules:
1. If both players can't find a lobby that suits both of the players they are free to play in separate lobbies

2. If one of the players can't play the qualifiers it is fine for one player from the team to play for the qualifiers although this would be a big disadvantage because one player would need to play all of the maps

Qualifiers will have 6 maps with different skillsets and custom made from the tournament mappers.
The maps will be played in order. Here is the list of the skillsets that will be played in order in the qualifiers:

Stage 1: SV
Stage 2: Accuracy (Consistency)
Stage 3: Stamina (Jumpstream / Handstream)
Stage 4: LN (Release Focused)
Stage 5: LN (Density)
Stage 6: Hybrid (Late game tiebreaker)


After playing the 6 maps your team has an option to try the 6 maps again and try to beat the scores from the first trial.

For qualifiers the highest score that the team gets will be the recorded score for that team
So if a team scores 992000 and 980000 the score 992000 will be recorded.
Seedings are calculated on average highest score from all the 6 maps played.

Only 16 teams will qualify to the tournament.
