Each time has 1 sub allowed. Subs are allowed to be in the private game in Rocket League during a match to spectate. You may not make substitutions during a game, but you may make them between games in a best-of-3 or best-of-5 series. IMPORTANT NOTE: your usernames in game must match your usernames on Smash.gg (or reasonably matched, to the TO's discretion)

The format will be a brief round-robin pools which will seed into a single-elimination bracket. ALL TEAMS WILL ADVANCE FROM POOLS TO THE BRACKET. Pool size will be 4 teams, and the round-robin pool matches will be best-of-3. The single-elimination bracket matches will be best-of-3, with the exception of 3rd place match and finals match being best-of-5. Estimated total runtime is 4 hours (from pool start to end of finals).

Every team is allowed one sub. This sub must be registered on the team just as the other members are. Teams can make substitutions between games, but not during a game. The sub can spectate the team's game while they are not playing. Any substitutions made during a game will forfeit the match.

All matches are to be played on US-W servers unless teams mutually agree to play on US-E. Such a mutual agreement should be recorded in smash.gg match lobby chat as proof.

All matches are to be played on standard maps (DFH, Utopia, Mannfield, Urban, Beckwith) with no mutators. Teams may gentlemens to (mutually agree to play on) another map, but it still must be soccar with default settings. Any agreement to play on another map must be written in the match lobby chat as proof.

Players are to report to their match lobbies in smash.gg, check in, follow the directions given by the lobby (who will be setting up the map, along with the room name and password). Players will then report their scores in the same match lobby here on smash.gg. Please don't forget to take screenshots of the end of your games, in case a TO asks for them in the event of a dispute.

TOs will be available to answer questions, you will simply need to call them in to your match lobby. Please be patient and respectful to everyone participating in the event. If your opponents have selected mutators, a different game mode (hoops, snow day), or a US-E server/non-standard map without agreement, then you should request a remake of the private match from your opponents. If they don't do so, you may request the assistance of a TO in resolving the issue by calling for a moderator in your smash.gg match lobby.

Disconnects, computer crashes, etc., will not warrant a match restart. Your team and your opponents may agree to restart a match out of extra-good sportsmanship, but otherwise you must complete the game, even if it is a player down. This is for the sake of time and that there is no in-person TO oversight of equipment to verify issues.

Good luck, and have fun!
