Each match will be played on a weekend unless there is a valid reason in why you can't. Both teams must agree to another specific day.
If you think you are having a hard time scheduling with the opponent team, please contact the Host, or, any of the Administrators to solve the Issue.
If there will be enough Free Agents, a team will be made for them too.

Both teams will be invited to the lobby by a referee, they will have a Time Frame of 15 minutes to Show Up, if one team takes longer than 15 minutes to join the lobby it will be counted as a Forfeit(FF).
Once both teams have joined the lobby, the referee will ask both team captains (or anyone who will captain for the moment) to roll.
The referee will ask both teams to roll. Highest roll chooses the pick/ban first, the lowest roll will take with whatever is left.
Bans will be made in ABBA order.
Each timer is 90 seconds to pick/ban a map, going over this Time Frame the referee will ask for the final decision in the next 10 seconds, if players fail to give a pick/ban, this will result into you losing a pick/ban depending where the incident occurs. Grand finals the time changes that to 120 seconds.
Players have 25 seconds when a match starts to abort if a problem occurs (with proof), anything longer than this, abort will not be considered.
Double banning/picking is *NOT* allowed.
If a player disconnects during the match, proof must be shown of their final score or else it will not be counted; no arguing with the ref, either show proof or take the L. In the case where disconnection occurs in the first 25 seconds, the map will be replayed.
Each team has ONE timeout of 5 minutes for every match, once the timeout is used by one of the teams the other team MUST stay in the lobby and are not allowed to leave
For GrandFinals there will be only one TieBreaker, earlier stage will have 3 tiebreakers.
When TB occurs in this case, players will have to DM the referee the TieBreaker ban, the last map that will be left will be played.
If TieBreaker ban is the same for both teams, the teams will both have to roll and the highest roll will get to choose the last ban, the last map left will be played as TB.

Freemod rules

allowed mods will be HD-HR and EZ(1.75x multiplier) and FL(2.15x multiplier)
2 players must have a unique mod from each team. For example if player 1 from team A chooses HR, then player 2 from team A must choose HD, EZ or FL. Player 3 and 4 is free to choose NM or any mod they desire which is allowed in the freemod rules (EZ,FL,HR,HD).
HDHR will be counted as HR, EZHD as EZ and EZFL will have 2.7x multiplier (counting as EZ as well).
