===Rules===
* 10 min duels with 3 min overtime
* All rounds are {{abbr|BO5|Best of 5}}
* Ruleset: smackdown/qcon

===Servers===
This is a world wide tournament, meaning you might have to play games on a higher ping than you're used to. Strive for fair pings, but use this as a general rule of thumb:

* East coast NA vs EU = Ireland
* West coast NA vs EU = New York
* AU vs EU = India
* AU vs NA = Los Angeles
* BR vs AU = Los Angeles
* BR vs EU/NA = Miami

If you can find a server with lower pings for both of you, I strongly suggest you use that one! This is just a general rule of thumb and not a requirement, however striving for as equal pings as possible is mandatory.
Use cl_delaypacket to even out the pings up to a maximum of 155ms.

5. Maps


The map pool is the good old the big 5 - dm2, dm4, dm6, aerowalk and ztndm3. If both players agree, they can decide to play the 2020 remakes of these 5 maps by Dirtbox.

There are no map repeats. Using a lower-seed-picks-first system.


Example:

    Lower seed picks 1st map
    Higher seed picks 2nd map
    Lower seed picks 3rd map
    Higher seed picks 4th map
    If necessary, the last remaining map is played.
