The lower seed player will be "Player B".

Map vetos will be done in order ABAB until there are only three maps remaining, the highest seed player will pick the first map, then the choice will alternate.

Series will be Bo3 until finals.

The final will be BO5.

Each player has 15min to make it to their round before they are disqualified.

One series from each round will be cast, we ask that all rounds wait until we have our casted match picked, to move on to the next round.

While this is an "OPEN" tournament, our goal is to provide the best games possible for our fans. We will be accepting the highest 64 ranked players for this tournament, and reserve the right to change signup order in an effort to make this happen:

(i.e. plat players will be put on the wait list if we get all masters/GM's, we will literally take the highest ranked 64 players, as ranked by aligulac)
