DRAFT PROCEDURES ── ⟢ ・⸝⸝

⟡ 16 captains shall be picked by administration after the end of registration. Each captain shall be randomly assigned a number from 1 - 16.
⟡ Administration takes into account previous tournament presence, tournament performance, and player knowledge when selecting captains.
⟡ Each captain shall be given 60 seconds to pick a single player during the draft phase, taking turns in numerical order.
⟡ Each captain shall be given ONE extension of 30 seconds to use at any point of the draft.
⟡ The draft phase will follow a serpentine format:

Round 1: 1, 2, 3, . . . , 14, 15, 16
Round 2: 16, 15, 14, . . . , 3, 2, 1
Round 3: 1, 2, 3, . . . , 14, 15, 16
⟡ This shall continue until every team has 8 players.
⟡ Following the draft, teams will then move onto a RO16 Bracket. The seed number of each team is determined by their average BWS.

MATCH PROCEDURES ── ⟢ ・⸝⸝

⟡ Captains will be invited by their assigned match referee 5 minutes before the scheduled time. They will be notified 15 minutes before the scheduled time.
⟡ A 10-minute grace period is given to late teams. Teams who fail to show up after the 10-minute grace period will lose by default.

⟡ In the event a player disconnects within approximately the first 30 seconds of a map, the map will be aborted and replayed.
⟡ In other disconnect circumstances, a "last known score" may be provided (e.g. liveplay, osu! client screenshot).
⟡ In the event of a disconnect replay, rosters must remain the same, barring the disconnected player should they be unable to play.
⟡ Teams will have 90 seconds to pick, ban, and ready up.
⟡ Teams will have 1 protect every round, whoever wins the roll protects first.
⟡ Referees may be loose or strict with timers at their discretion (within reason), provided the judgements are fair for both teams.
⟡ When prompted, captains will !roll at the start of the match. Repeat if a tie occurs until there is a winner.
┕⟡ The winner of the !roll will have the first choice order. e.g. they may choose to pick or ban first or second.
┕⟡ The loser of the !roll will choose first or second on the remaining order. e.g. they may choose the ban order if the !roll winner chose the pick order.
⟡ Double picks and bans are allowed.
⟡ Where applicable, bans are ABBA.
