＊＊＊ Qualifiers Procedure ＊＊＊
- Players must play all the maps, in order from NM1 to DT2.
- The pool is played through twice. The best score counts.
- Maps have a 2 minute break in between. There are no timeouts in Qualifiers.
- A player's seed is based on average rank on the maps.
- Players may pick warmups up to 4:20 in length, and must send it to the referee 30 minutes before the match for approval.
Warmups may not contain explicit content except at the sole discretion of the referee. - There is one protect in all rounds. The roll winner protects first. Protected maps cannot be banned.
- Double banning and triple/double picking are allowed.
- Each player has TWO timeouts lasting 90 seconds each. These can be taken consecutively.
- FM rules: Mods optional, but NM = 0.8x, EZ or EZHD = 1.7x, FL = 1.4x.
- During the Group Stage, there are 5 players in each group.
- These players all play 1 match against each other over two weeks.
- Players may self-ref their matches under certain conditions. Permission to self-ref is granted by the administration.
- There will only be asyncs if absolutely necessary. Even if permission is granted, asyncs are penalized.
- Players can be screened for having suspicious profile stats or having performed well above the level of the rank range.
