==Tournament system==
* Players are sorted into divisions reflecting their skill level and their performance in Seasons 1 & 2.
* The tournament consists of two stages:
** A round-robin group stage.
** A single elimination playoff.
* The first 8 players of each division advance to their respective playoffs.
* The playoffs will have a 3rd place match.
* Players have to play two matches per week.
* Each player play each other once in a GO3 (game of three, not best of three) in the group stage.
* Playoff matches are BO5.

==Points==
The ranking is determined by taking the following stats into account (in order):
* Points (1 point per map win).
* Map difference.
* Internal fight.
* Map difference in those internal fights.
* Frag difference in those internal fights.
* Total frag difference of all games.

==Match procedure==

===Map Pool===
* dm2
* dm4
* dm6
* aerowalk
* ztndm3
* bravado
* TBD (voted in each division)

===GO3===
* The procedure is "''drop-drop-drop-drop-play-play-play''".
**/rnd player 1 2
**Player 1 drops map 1
**Player 2 drops map 2
**Player 2 drops map 3
**Player 1 drops map 4
**Player 1 picks the first of the remaining 3 maps.
**The losing player (meaning whoever is down in the series) picks map 2, and the last remaining map is played as map 3. 
* Each match will be three maps.

===BO5===
* The procedure is "''drop-drop-play-play-play-play-play''".
**The player (1) who finished higher in the regular season drops map 1.
**The player (2) who finished lower in the regular season drops map 2.
**Player 1 picks map 1.
**The losing player (meaning whoever is down in the series) picks map 2, continue until the series is over.

==Scheduling==
* All matches have a deadline (consult the division page for the dates).
* Players should schedule matches on the Discord server and tag the admins when a time and date has been found.
* If a player is not making any efforts to schedule a match it will be taken into consideration when a WO has to be assigned.

==Ping==
* The primary driver for server selection is to find a server where the players have similar average pings (+/- 2ms) and to minimize that average.
* The pings should be the most even for the two players and measures like cl_delay_packet or proxy rerouting to balance pings should be employed. A player with a higher average ping than their opponent on a given server may request the opponent to do this (or change server to somewhere with lower average ping).
* Servers that are providing significant packetloss that cannot be avoided by proxy rerouting should generally be avoided unless both players agree to play there.
* If players still can't agree on a server, please contact admins about it. Admin decision is final and refusal to play on a server designated by neutral admins will be considered a WalkOver loss.
