- Warm-ups are not allowed
- Actions and statements that violate the rules of the game and the rules of Twitch.tv platform are prohibited in the lobby. At the discretion of the organisers, players who violate these rules may be disqualified from the tournament.
- At the beginning of the first round both players !roll. Player with the higher score is the first to decide which pool to PICK, player with the lower score is the first to choose a map. In subsequent rounds the order of maps selection is determined by the winner of the previous match (i.e. loser of the first rounds picks first in the second round)
- Each week (except for qualifiers) players will have a choice of three pools: one made entirely of specific maps, one made entirely of convert maps, and the last one is combined. At the beginning of each round of the series, the players will pick the pools presented to them.
- In the first round of the series winner of the roll picks the pool. In the second round pool is picked from the loser of the first match, and in the Third round players use remaining pool if the winner is not decided by the first two rounds.
- Same pools and maps cannot be picked twice
- The referee is not allowed to play in the match, which means the referee should not be in the lobby during the match process.
- Players have 2 minutes to select a map; if they fail to choose in the allotted time, the map choice will be random.[/color]
- Every player will receive a “tactical timeout” of two minutes, which can be used at any time during their pick, once per match. The tactical timeout is optional and is not required to be used.
- Once the map choice is locked in, players will have 2 minutes to ready up. The referee will start the match when all players are ready. When 2-minute timer ends, all players should be ready.
- NF is forced on every map.
- In the case of a disconnection, common sense will be applied: if proof exists of the disconnected player’s score, it will be added to their total score; if it is at all ambiguous, the other player will get the point; if the disconnection occurred in the first few seconds, the map will be replayed.
- All the rules found above will be in effect during the qualifier lobbies.
- In the lobby, the team will play through the entire mappool in the order given on the mappool sheet. This means you will play through the NM maps, then HD, then HR, then DT, and then EZ.
- You will play through the pool once.
- In the event of any disconnects, the player(s) who disconnect will be allowed to replay the map after the run by themselves.
- The bracket stage will be seeded into 32 players based on your Qualifiers performance. This means that a player placed at rank 32 in points will be facing the player that placed at rank 1 in points.
