General Match Procedures:

- If a team fails to join the match 5 minutes from the scheduled match time, they will lose their roll and their ban(s).
- If a team fails to join the match 10 minutes from the scheduled match time, they will forfeit.
- It is a player's responsibility to come prepared for the match. If a player comes unprepared, the referee may use their judgment as they see fit.
- There are no warmups.
- There are no restrictions on picks or bans.
- NF will be enforced on all maps.
- Captains will roll for picks and bans. The winner of the roll may choose pick order or ban order. The loser will choose the remaining order.
- Throughout bracket stage, teams will have 2 bans.
- Teams will have 2 minutes for bans, should they fail to choose one within that time, they will lose their ban.
- Teams will have 2 minutes for picks, should they fail to choose one within that time, the pick will be rolled by the referee.
- Once a map is picked, teams will have 2 minutes to swap teammates and ready up. Once the timer is finished, the referee will force start the map.
- FreeMod picks allow HD, HR, and EZ (score multiplier is 1.75x). Teams are required to take at least 3 players with mods: one must be HD only while another must be HR only. Beyond that, there is free reign over mod combinations in order to meet the minimum requirement of 3 players with mods. (EX: HD + HR + HDHR + NM is allowed.)
- Tiebreakers are played with Freemod enabled, however, do not require players to use a mod.
- 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.
- 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.
