Special Rules***: The Game Format is to be set on Best of 1, that will force both teams back to the lobby for Round 2 and again for Round 3. Each Team may sub up to 2 players between rounds while in the custom match lobby. If a player drops during the match, the match continues, a new player may sub in during the lobby break or the team has to play a man down. With respect to draws, at the end of Round 3, the team with the most wins is the winner. If a team wins the first and second round, a 3rd round is not played. Possible Win-Loss-Draw scenarios at the end of 3 rounds for Win are: 2-0-0, 2-1-0, 2-0-1, 1-0-2. Possible scenarios at the end of 3 for Draws are: 1-1-1 and 0-0-3. In the case of a draw, a tiebreaker round is played and the Map is set to Lumber Mill, Weather set to Clear, Hour set to 1200, Recon Tower set to On, Recon Timers set to 30s and 30s respectively. The same settings apply to any consecutive tiebreaker rounds until one team wins by eliminating all players on the opposing team.
