  1. The match lobby will be created by the referee, and the team captains of both teams will be invited. The captain is then responsible for inviting the rest of their team. If the captain of a team is not online, the referee will invite any other player from that team, and that player will be responsible for inviting their team.
  2. Teams have a 15 minute grace period to have at least 4 players available to play the match. If 15 minutes pass and a team does not have enough players to play the match, the other team will receive a win by default.
  3. Once all players have joined the lobby, captains will be asked to !roll; the winner of the roll will have the first warmup, first ban, and first pick.
  4. Warmup maps will be allowed for the entirety of the tournament. Each team may select one warmup pick; warmups may not exceed 4:30 total length.
  5. The referee can give host to the players for warmups only. The referee will have host for the entire match after warmups. A team will select a map by naming the map in the multiplayer chat, and the referee will select it.
  6. Each team is allowed to ban 1 map from Map-Pool A. Map-Pool B maps may not be allowed to be banned at ANY time.
  7. Teams have 3 minutes to select a map; if they fail to choose in the allotted time, the map choice will pass to the other team. This will have no effect on the order of picks afterward.
  8. There is no restriction on map selection order; teams may select any available map at any time regardless of mod.
  9. On freemod picks, at least two players from each team must use Hidden, Hard Rock, or both.
  10. Hidden and Hard Rock are allowed, but not required, on Tiebreakers.
  11. Only one of each seed is allowed to play in the lobby at any given time, so you can only have 1 A seed, 1 B seed, 1 C seed, and 1 D Seed.
  12. Once the map choice is locked in, players will have 3 minutes to ready up. The referee will start the match when all players are ready. If the 3 minute timer ends, the referee will force an !mp start 15 command, and the match will start with whoever is in the lobby.
  13. The winner of a map is determined by which team ends with a higher score.
  14. In the case of a disconnection, a rematch will only be played if the disconnection occurred within the first 30 seconds of the map. This can be judged by the mp link. If a player disconnects after 30 seconds of the map have passed, their score will not be counted.

IMPORTANT UPDATE
Suiji 2023 Summer is undergoing a format change. All players have been notified via discord & now here.

Suiji 2023 Summer is now 4 vs 4 with A B C & D seeds, instead of 3 vs 3 with A B & C. Registration has been slightly extended (2 extra days) to give a grace period to those who may want to withdraw due to the new format and give others a chance to sign up.

Decision was made as registrations were down almost 50% of the previous Suiji and competition between seeds was extremely drastic and would not lead to balanced and interesting teams. Switching to 4v4 will both decrease reliance on getting lucky and increase confidence for what would have been the bottom half of each seed. I believe the decision to switch to this will be a lot more competitively healthy.

Amount of teams will naturally go down from 32 -> 16/20/24 depending on the number of sign-ups we continue to get. If we deem it competitively healthy enough, we'll increase the amount of teams, but the minimum as of right now is 16. An update will be made with a concrete number closer to the end of registrations as we monitor the players who are registering.

All that said, the schedule will remain the same and drawings are still slated for August 5th! Hope you guys enjoy and we can get more sign-ups.

Edit 7/22/2023:
Hello! Making sure to cover all my bases, we have added a section for the Qualifiers mappool. It will go as following:

Qualifiers Map Pool will contain 6 maps. You are allowed 2 play-throughs, with any configuration of players according to ABC&D seeds.
Qualifiers Map Pool will contain the following: 1 No Mod, 1 Challenge, 1 Hidden, 1 Hard Rock, 1 Double Time and 1 Free Mod.

Concrete numbers of the tournament have been decided. The format will be 24 teams, top 192 players will go through, 4v4 ABCD seed system. Thanks everyone for your patience!

Edit 7/28/2023:
Hello again, we're adding one extra No Mod map to the Qualifiers pool. Thank you!

Adjustments made to add the exception for 3v3s has been added (was offered clearly on Discord from the beginning of the tournament but not put on the site rules)
"Any other exceptions such as requests to do 3v3 in the case of neither team being able to fill out a 4v4, will be handled by the staff."
