Format: Pool play seeding into a double-elimination bracket (all best-of-3). With 16 teams registered, teams will be guaranteed 5 matches minimum.

Team size: 3v3 (teams may have up to 1 substitute, who must be registered/paid for and on the team roster).

Eligibility: In order to play in the tournament, a player must be present at the venue. Players of all ages are welcome.

Substitutions: substitutions may be made between games in a best-of-5 series, but not during a game.

Matches will be Best-of-5s from beginning to end (bracket reset will also be Bext-of-5, if applicable).

No mutators. Standard maps, with no weather effects, are the legal maps. Teams may gentlemen's (mutually agree to play on) another map (Wasteland/Neo Tokyo/Rocket Labs) but it must still be Soccar game type and no mutators. Please make any such agreements in match lobby chat.

If there are disconnects or hardware failures, the current game will be reset to the state when the disconnect or failure occurred, with 10 additional seconds remaining (if possible). For example, if a game has 3:22 on the clock with Blue team in the lead 3-1 over Orange team, and power fails for a player on Orange team or Blue team, then the game will be restarted, the teams will score all but one of the existing goals (e.g. blue 2 - 1 orange or blue 3 - 0 orange), wait until the clock gets to 3:32, and score the final goal to put the match back where it was interrupted.

All final decisions will be left to the TOs.
