     • When signing up for both brackets, both rosters do not need to be identical.
     • If your country signs up for the 4K Bracket, it does not need to form a 7K bracket and vice versa.
2. Each team represents a nation. You must form a team with players from the same country and therefore with the same flags on the user profiles.
3. For team sign-ups, fill out this form. Then, verify your registration by sending a PM to Loctav titled "MWC Registration".

   • You get a confirmation reply in case your registration successfully arrived. Your registration is in pending then.

   • Most matches won.
   • Have higher {(the number of maps won) - (the number of maps defeated)}.
   • Most maps won.
   • Have higher ∑{(total score difference) / (maximum score)}.
   • Winner of the rematch.
4. The top 4 teams of each group will move on to the Knock-Out Stages.

2. Players are free to select up to two warm-up maps.
3. Map selection will alternate between each captain selecting a map out of the mappool. Each captain must use !roll once in #multiplayer to determine which team selects first.

   • The captains may select maps out of the FreeMod bracket freely.
   • In case of a tie, the tiebreaker map must be played.
4. Results will be published on the wiki and via the Statistics website.

2. The mappools for the 4-keys and 7-keys bracket are separated.
3. Each mappool consists of 1 bracket: FreeMod.
4. Each mappool consists of 10–14 maps in total.
5. Each mappool has one tiebreaker.
6. The FreeMod bracket will have FreeMod activated. Every individual player can pick Hidden, FadeIn and Flashlight or no mode at all.
7. The tiebreaker will be played under FreeMod conditions.
8. The size of the FreeMod bracket will be:

   • 9 in Group Stage.

5. Scheduling will be handled by the Tournament Management. Schedules will be released on the Sunday before the first matches of the actual stage (e.g. on the 3rd Aug for Group Stage (4K)). Tournament Management will try to create the schedule to respect the participant's time zone.
6. Captains are responsible for their team's availability. The greater team size exists to ensure every team can provide at least two players for each match. If teams can not provide two players for a match, the match will be considered forfeited.
