- This is a tournament with marathon pools, meaning every map's length in pools will be 4:30 or longer
- Rank Range: 1000-99999 with BWS applied
- BWS formula being applied is: rank^(0.9937^(badges^2))
- Badges acquired before 2021 don't count towards BWS
- 2v2 teams of 2-4
- Double elimination bracket
- No rank buffer
- Every captain of the team must join the Discord Server and remain there until knocked out
- Team qualifiers will be calculated using the sum of percentiles assuming a normal curve (also known as Z-Sum).
- The exact formula for the percentile received on a given map is normcdf([team score - avg(scores)] / stdev(scores)), where avg and stdev are taken over all team scores on the map. These percentiles are then added together for final seeding.
- GFX, Streamers and Commentators are allowed to play

There are no TBs. Last map remaining in pool during a match will be played in case of a tie.

Qualifiers will be determined by Z-Sum formula.

The teams will be pinged 15 minutes before their scheduled match time, with invites being sent out approximately 5 minutes before the match begins.

Players will have a 10 minute grace period after their designated match time to join the lobby.
If a team is unable to provide enough players in the lobby once the grace period is over, the win will automatically be handed to the opposing team.
If both teams are unable to provide enough players in the lobby once the grace period is over, the win will automatically be handed to the higher seeded team.

Every team is allowed to play one warmup map.
The length of a warmup map can not exceed 4:00.
Players are not allowed to play any map of the mappool as warmup.
Once warmups are over, the team captains must roll.
The winner of the roll can decide between First Pick/Second Ban or Second Pick/First Ban.
Teams have 2 minutes to ban/pick a map.
If a team fails to ban a map within 2 minutes, they will lose the ban.
If a team fails to pick a map within 2 minutes, the pick will go to the opposing team.
(This does not affect the picking order)

Double Picks are allowed

If a player disconnects within the first 30 seconds of a map, they will get a 5 minute grace period to rejoin and the map will be replayed.
If a player disconnects after the first 30 seconds of a map, the map will NOT get aborted. In such case, the last known score of the disconnected player will be used for score calculation.
