Qualifier Rules:

Player sign-up form will include a section to describe one's skillset for captains to look at before and during the auction.
All players will play their qualifier lobbies as individuals.
The captains will be hand picked based on both rank and past tournament experience and will not have to play the Qualifiers round. Any player that signs up can be chosen as a captain. If the chosen captain is unable to make the auction, they may request a proxy from the staff team as a stand in.
Only the top 80 players after Qualifiers will be eligible for the draft.
Freemod maps in qualifiers MUST be played with a mod.

Auction Rules:

All 80 non-captain player names will be placed on The Wheel, which will be spun one at a time to determine the player that will be bid on.
Captains will each have $12 to work with. Bids for each player will start at $0.50 (The U.S. average hourly starting wage for common (unskilled) adult male labor was 45¢/hour for whites. Source: April 1937 Monthly Labor Review, p. 940.)and must increase by multiples of $0.50. They will be able to draft up to 7 other players and have to draft at minimum 2 other players.
Each player will be available for bidding for 30 seconds. If the countdown is lower than 10 seconds and a captain makes a new highest bid, the countdown will be reset to 10 seconds.
If no captain makes a bid within those initial 30 seconds, the player name will be moved to The Last Chance Wheel which will be spun after all names on the first wheel have been brought to market. If the last chance wheel is spun and for a second time that player is not bid on, they will be DNQed.
After all players and teams have been decided, the seeding of the main bracket will be determined by the entire team's average rank, with the #1 team playing against the #16 team, and so on.
The captain may designate another person on the team as captain when they submit their roster.
You must decide on a team name that is America themed, do with that what you will.

Match Rules:

Warmups must be DMed to the referee after the match reminder ping in the server and before the scheduled start time of the match. They must also not exceed 3:00 in drain length.
In the Round of 16, each team is allowed 1 ban per match. Banned maps are effectively removed from the mappool for the duration of the match and are not allowed to be picked. From the Quarterfinals onward, each team is allowed 2 bans per match. Double bans are allowed, but a mod pool CANNOT be fully banned out.
Ban order will be ABBA format.
There is no restriction on map selection order; teams may select any available map at any time regardless of mod.
For Freemod picks, at least 2 players per team will have to choose a mod, and there must be 2 unique mods per team. One player must take Hard Rock and one player must take Hidden/Flashlight (HDHR will be counted as HR only). Easy is not allowed on Freemod picks.
