STT2 General Match Information
- Mappools will be released the Monday before the next winner's match. You will always have 5+ days to practice the pools.
- Matches will take place every Saturday and Sunday ONLY.
- If a team needs to reschedule for any reason, they must first contact their opponent's captain, then DM Mino#3017 on Discord with a screenshot of the opponent's captain accepting or declining your reschedule request.
- If the team captain does not/cannot accept your reschedule request, your "would-be" match against them will be counted as a loss. You will either move to the loser's bracket, or be eliminated from the tournament completely if you are already in the loser's bracket. If you are approached with a reschedule request, you are not obligated to accept it. Only do so if it is in the best interest for your team. Reschedules may not occur more than 5 days after the original match date.
- Two members from your team must be present to participate every weekend.
- 2 bans are allowed per team.
- Teams are allowed to ban the same mod two times if they wish.
- Both teams will have two minutes each to decide their bans.
- In any match where there is a !roll between two captains, the outcomes are as follows:
- Winner of the warmup roll picks the first warmup map.
- Winner of the roll after warmups gets to ban the first map and pick first. The roll loser in this case will ban second and pick second. Picks alternate after that until a winner is decided. - Do not !roll without a ref prompting you to.
- The qualifiers round will determine seeding for the group stage.
- From the group stage, the top 50% of each group will advance into a seeded Round of 16.
- In the group stage, there will be eight groups of four teams. Each team will face each other one time. The top half of teams (based on match wins) will advance to the Round of 16.
- Seeding for the bracket stage will be determined by average team performance rating.

STT2 Match Structure: Qualifier Stage
- The qualifiers stage allows for group stage seeding.
- All teams that have signed up (even if we have over 32 teams) will play every map in a small pool on the weekend of qualifiers.
- These maps shall be played the same as a bracket match, except for one exception: Refs can have more than 2 teams in a lobby, they can have up to 8 (that's the ref's decision though, it'll usually be 4 teams per lobby). Everyone is playing the same maps, in the same order. Teammates may swap in and out just like a bracket match, so long as only 2 members of each team are playing at one time.
- STT2 will use a reverse-points system when calculating seeds for the group stage. If a team ranks 1/32 for a map, they will gain one point. If a team ranks 32/32 for a map, they will gain 32 points.
- The number of maps in the qualifiers pool is yet to be determined, but it will be smaller than all other pools.
- The most points one may have is (32 * <total # of maps>). This will result in seed #32 for the group stage.
- The least points one team may have is (1 * <total # of maps>). This would be the case if a team ranks #1 for every map in the qualifiers round. This will result in seed #1 for the group stage.
- The lower total points your team has at the end of the qualifiers round, the higher you will seed in the Group Stage.
STT2 Match Structure: Group Stage
- The group stage features the best 32 teams from the qualifiers stage.
- There will be eight groups of four.
- Each team will play the other 3 teams in their group one time.
- The group stage will last for the duration of the weekend after the qualifiers stage.
- The seeds for the group stage are in order of points received from the qualifiers stage (in order from least to greatest [#1 ---> #32]).
- Match times and referees will be determined before the group stage begins.
STT2 Match Structure: Bracket Matches (in order)
- Referees will invite each team captain to a lobby at a predetermined time.
- The lobby will have the following settings: Team Vs, Score V2 with 8 player slots (9 if the ref is in the match).
- Captains will !roll for a warmup. Whoever wins gets the first warmup song, whoever loses chooses second. There is only one warmup per team.
- Captains will invite all of their teammates who wish to warmup after the roll winner is determined. This way, everyone can warmup together. No player is forced to warmup, and teams may opt to skip their warmup (before the !roll).
- After warmups have concluded, there will be a second !roll for picking/banning.
- The captains will ban their maps, and pick accordingly, then the teammate swaps will occur after the first map is determined. Remember, there are only two players from each team playing at a time, so it is advisable to pre-determine who will play which maps for the fastest possible match.
- If any participant is cheating, I will personally make certain of your restriction.
