Howdy fellow cowboys.

The tournament will be played online and will be played on a brazilian server, but exceptions can be made if the ping should be found to be unplayable by the player or team, in that case another server, in another location, will be used. If players have the possibility of playing on another server for better ping, and want to do so, so be it. The brazilian server is a option for the case of not being any other avaiable server to play.

The gamemode player will be Team Elimination

craZy_yO's Team Elimination config will be used on the server

It will be a two stage tournament, being group stage and then playoffs

The group stage will be in double elimination format.
Teams will have a 6 day period to play their match, starting from 06/06 ( Saturday). That means teams will have to play in any day between saturday and friday. If any team fails to play their game until the next saturday, a default loss will be given to the team that did not show up.
Higher ranked team start the ban and pick process
Top two teams (scoring 2-0 or 2-1) will proceed to playoffs while the bottom two teams (scoring either 1-2 or 0-2) will be eliminated from the tournament

Group stage matches are best-of-one series
Only one map is played, winner wins the series
For the best-of-three series, both teams will then ban one map each, then pick one to be played in the series, the deciding map in the series will be the leftover

Teams proceeding to the playoffs with a 2-0 record have a high seed, giving them priority by being able to ban and pick maps first

The playoffs bracket will be double elimination
All teams start off in the upper bracket, winners progress through upper bracket but loses proceed to loew bracket, losses in lower bracket are eliminated

Playoffs matches are best-of-three series
All teams start in the upper bracket
High seed teams (2-0 teams) will play against low seed teams (2-1 teams)
Up to three maps are played, first team to win two maps wins
For the best-of-three series, both teams will then ban one map each, then pick one to be played in the series, the deciding map in the series will be the leftover

Hacking, of any kind, will result in a permanent ban for either the player or the team
Racism, xenophobia, homophobia or any kind of discrimination, will result in a permanent ban for either the player or the team
