Format

[1] Games order:

[2] First, Both teams make 2v2 map vetoes to choose the first 2v2 map. Then, both teams go to 1v1 map vetoes. After that, loser team picks the next map.

• 2v2 map vetoes is ONLY for deciding the first 2v2 play-map: Both teams will ban 2 maps each, then the remaining map will be the first 2v2 play-map.
• The banned 2v2 maps WILL get back to the map pool.
• The banned 1v1 maps WILL NOT get back to the map pool.
• 1v1 and 2v2 Map Pool are independent to each other.
• Loser Team will choose the next map from the map pool.
• The played maps are not allowed to choose again.

[3] Veto and Players confirmation

• The Manager or Leader of both sides need to submit Map Vetoes, Players and Race before the series. The Manger or Leader must keep in touch with the referee.
• During the loser choosing the next map, the players must select the map and submit it to the referee within the formulate time, and the referee will announce it publicly.
• After announcing the next map, both teams must confirm the players (including races) on the court and submit it to the referee within the formulate time, and the referee will announce it publicly.
• If the Manager or Leader loses contact during the tournament, other members must contact the referee immediately, and the referee decides whether the game will continue.

Map Voting’ rules

1. Deciding A and B randomly (A get Veto first.)
2. Every Veto/Pick formulate time is 3 minutes long. If the players take longer than 3 minutes, the referee will decide for them it randomly.
3. Vetoes’ order will be like**

**(Translator note: I think they had a mistake here, the last 2v2 should be 1v1.)

Players confirmation

[1] After Map Vetoes:

• Both teams need to confirm the first 2v2 players and their races.
• After the referee’s confirmation, he/she will tell the information to each other.

[2] After the first 2v2 Map:

• Loser Team needs to confirm the next map summit to the referee within 3 minutes.
• The referee will announce it after confirmation.
• After announcement, both teams need to confirm and summit the next player and race within 3 minutes.
• The referee will announce it after confirmation.

[3] After the second, third, fourth Map, the sections will be the same as above.

[4] The players are not allowed to play 1v1 twice.

[5] The same 2v2 combination are not allowed play 2v2 twice.**

**(Translator Note: For example: If Team Red have Grubby, Sky and TeD, and Grubby+Sky played the first 2v2 map. Then, you can choose TeD+Grubby or TeD+Sky on the second 2v2 map, but Grubby+Sky are NOT allowed to play again.)

Race

1. Players are ABLE to switch their race between the matches (1v1, 2v2).
2. Random is allowed and considered as a race.
3. Players need to confirm and summit their race before the series.
4. The referee will announce after confirmation, and the players are not allowed to switch race during the countdown.
