Qualifiers:

🌸 Players have until Tuesday 0 UTC of that week to sign up for a qualifier room. Any sign ups after that time will not be accepted.
🌸 For Qualifiers, warmups will not be allowed. Players will play all maps in the pool once; from NM1 to FM2.
🌸 NF will be enforced on all maps, including FM. Mods allowed in FM are: HD, HR, EZ. For each FreeMod map, at least 1 mod must be used.
🌸 Multipliers: NF only = 0.85x, EZ = 1.65x, EZHD = 1.5x
🌸 For FMDT: There are NO PENALTIES for NF only. Multipliers are EZ: 1.65x, EZHD: 1.5x
DISCLAIMER: Bracket stage’s Freemod rules are different from Qualifiers’. NF multiplier only applies for NF ONLY scores.
🌸 If a player disconnects or encounters problems within the first 30 seconds of a map, they will be allowed to replay at the end of that room.
====
Bracket:
🌸 The referee will create a lobby for players. Players have to respond to their pings and join the room on time.
🌸 Players are allowed a warmup of their choice (shorter than 3:30). They can skip warmups if they wish to.
🌸 After warmups are finished, players will roll to decide ban/pick order. The winner will get to choose between First Ban - Second Pick or Second Ban - First Pick. Roll winner gets First Protect. Roll loser gets First Forced pick.
🌸 Double banning is allowed. Double picking is allowed. Ban order will be ABAB.
🌸 Freemods are permanently protected until Semifinals, then, after a Freemod has been banned, the remaining Freemods become protected.
🌸 Each player will be granted a ’Force Pick’.
=>They can then proceed to assign a map which their opponent will have to pick in match. This map is forced, meaning a player will have to play this map in order to win the match. They do NOT have to win the map.
=>A player can choose to play their assigned ‘Force Pick’ whenever they want. If a player is 2 points away from winning/losing and it's their turn, their forced pick must be played. Picking then continues as normal.
=> E.g.: If match is 3-0 and player A hasn't played their FP, that map will be picked. Picking then returns to normal. Refer to #ptfm2_faq for more info.
🌸 Tiebreakers will be played with Freemod enabled, Freemod rules are not enforced, NF multiplier will not be used.
🌸 From Semifinals, players are given a 120 seconds timeout period, which can be used at any point in the match. This timer will be applied in the best interest for the player, with common sense in mind.
🌸 In the event of multiple disconnections (3 instances or more) or suspected foul play, the referee has to contact an admin to assess the situation immediately.

🌸 All Freemods are played with NF enabled, except when a player chooses NoMod.
🌸 Each player will have to use a mod for FreeMod picks. Available mods are: NF (NF only), NoMod, HD, HR, EZ. Each mod is allowed ONCE ONLY.
-- For NoMod: Players will remove NF and play the map. Please make sure the room is set to TeamVs, ScoreV2. They will have to notify the referee that they want to play with NoMod. If a player fails in the middle of the map, the point goes to the other player.
🌸 Each player can decide what mod they want to use, assuming they haven't picked that mod yet in a previous map. Multiple mods can be selected on one map, but both mods will count. (e.g. HDHR uses up both your HD and HR mods and you cannot pick either of them again in the match. Wildcards are the only exception.)
🌸 From Semifinals, Wildcards will be granted. A player can use a mod OR a mod combination that was already used. This can happen once per match, per player. (e.g. If a player used HDHR before, they’re allowed to take HDHR again with their Wildcard.) Refer to #ptfm2_faq for more info.
🌸 On FreeMod picks, DT/NC or HT cannot be used.
🌸 On DTFM picks, DT cannot be taken off. There are no mod restrictions for DTFM. Multipliers are the same as Freemod.
🌸 In the event of a player not able to satisfy the mod requirement for a Freemod pick, the point goes immediately to the other player. Picking then goes to the other player.
🌸 Multipliers are as follows: NF only = 0.85x, EZ = 1.65x, NM = 1.05x
