Bans are shared, not per-team. Whoever rolls higher gets the first protect, first ban, and first pick โ all decided by roll.
ban / pick / protect order
There is no fixed order. Whichever captain rolls higher gets a protect โ same for bans and picks. Everything is decided by rolls. Good luck.
There are no picking restrictions. A team may pick e.g. all HD maps in a row if they wish.
match rules
- Scoring is ScoreV1.
- Roll for everything โ protects, bans, and picks are all determined by roll.
- All times must be in UTC. If a team cannot use UTC, convert their local time to UTC.
- If a captain is not responding, ping their teammate. If the teammate is not responding, ping the captain.
- All match scheduling is done through the Discord โ post in the scheduling channel to agree on a time with your opponent.
- SP2 โ SV2 and SD (Sudden Death) are forced ON, NF is OFF.
- SP players can use freemod: NM HD HR EZ FL. DT is allowed only if both captains agree.
- Tiebreaker โ allowed mods: HD HR EZ.
- Free Mod โ Player 1: HD / EZ / HDEZ Player 2: HR / HDHR EZ multiplier: ร2.
- If teams request NC instead of DT, the referee decides whether to allow it.
- Matches can be scheduled any time during each round, as long as a referee, streamer, and both players are available.
- If one player is absent, the present player may choose to continue the match 1v2 or forfeit. They are not obligated to play short-handed.
- โณ If it becomes a 1v1 situation, that is allowed. If only one team joins and the opponent never shows, the absent team forfeits (dropped to losers, or eliminated if already in losers).
- No picking restrictions โ teams can pick any slot type back-to-back.
- If a team is missing a player for qualifiers, they may attempt it alone if they wish.
- โณ When pinging a team and a captain says their teammate can't make it, remind them they can still attempt qualifiers solo.
