General Rules
-Invites will be sent to the players right before the match during semi-finals and finals.
-If you cannot make it to the tournament, please let us know ahead of time. We could use the time to give someone else a chance to play.
-You have 5 minutes to show up for your matches, even if they are self reffed, and you are responsible with letting us know if your opponent is late when self reffing.
-After the lobby is created, both players will do !roll.
-The higher roll wins and gets to pick between either first/second pick or first/second ban. For example, if the roll winner chooses to pick first, then the roll loser can choose if they want to ban first or second and vice versa. (There is a second explanation for this rule on the discord server in the #match-procedure channel)
-NFV2 is enforced on all maps.
-If the map ends in a draw, it will be replayed.
-There will be no warmup maps inside the lobbies.
-TB may be played with any mod combination (Allowed mods: HD, HR, EZ, FL), including NM only.
Picks and bans
-You can pick two maps from the same mod pool in a row, however you cannot ban two maps from the same mod pool (excluding nomod).
-Ban format: abba
-Players have 120 seconds to pick or ban a map. If they fail to do so within the required time their pick/ban turn will be skipped. During the self-reffing phase it's up to you as a player to make sure your opponent is on time with their picks.
-Disconnecting during a map at at any point will result in the loss of the map. The reason for this is to make sure the tournament does not get prolonged for too long due to small frequent slow-downs.
