UNITY Cup 2022 by kaidus

UNITY Cup will be used to test an alternative ruleset with the long-term ambition of unifying the rule-sets between the largest regions in competitive TF2. With the NA scene having begun the process at Fullerton, this cup looks to fine-tune and expand upon that initiative by bringing it to the EU player base. The tournament will take place on 16th + 17th April. Basic rules:

-Win Limit 5
-Time Limit 30
-Round Timer 5
-“Continuous” Overtime

Group stages will consist of two round-robin invite groups (4 per group), and an open swiss group. 8 teams from the open swiss will progress along with the invited teams to a 16 team single elimination playoff.

“Continuous” Overtime explained:
In the event that neither team has reached 5 rounds at the end of 30 minutes, the
game will enter over-time without the round resetting or the game ending. The new win condition will be the existing highest score + 1. Eg. Score is 3-2, the win limit becomes 4 and the first team to reach 4 rounds is the winner. There is no time-limit for over-time.
