Seeds 1-64 qualify for the tournament.
Teams will then be formed randomly, manually done by staff.
More about team formations on the information doc.

Following every match after qualifiers, both players MUST take turns playing, for example: a single player cannot play more than 3 maps in a row(this does not affect the match thereafter).

Qualifier specific procedures
Every player must be present during the qualifier lobbies. If said player is not present during 1 map or more, all of their scores will not be taken into account.
Match procedures
The Captain of each team will be pinged 15 minutes before the match begins.
A referee will create a lobby and invite the captains. Captains are responsible for inviting their teammate into the lobby.
If a team fails to join the match 5 minutes from the scheduled match time, they will lose their roll, their protection and their ban.
If a team fails to join the match 10 minutes from the scheduled match time, they will automatically be forced to forfeit.
There will be 2 warmups (1 each), with a max. duration of 4:00. Warmups are allowed to be skipped if both teams agree to.
There are no restrictions on picks or bans.
Captains will roll to either pick first or to protect and ban first.
Teams will have 1 protection and 1/2 bans.
Teams will have 2 minutes for protections, failing to choose one within that time, they will lose their protection, the same goes for bans.
Ban order will be ABAB.
Teams will have 2 minutes for picks, failing to choose one within that time, their pick will be given to the other team. This has no effect on the order of picks thereafter. This means a team may pick 3 times in a row.
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.

In the event of a disconnection, players can replay the picked map if it occurred within the first 30 seconds. No other rules apply, in case of any other event happening, action will not be taken and the match will proceed as normal. Each team is granted one replay per match.

Map pools may or may not be slotted, and will increase star rating with every round:
Star range may vary anywhere from 6.0-7.5.
Tiebreaker will not be played in qualifiers.
Score V2, Team VS and NF will be used on all maps.
FreeMod forces mods, players are allowed to pick between HD, HR, EZ (1.75x multiplier), FL (1.25x multiplier).
Mod combinations (HDHR, HDEZ, EZFL) are also allowed.
Tiebreakers cannot be banned or picked, and are played with Freemod enabled, however, do not require players to use a mod.
