ORGANIZATION SYSTEM:
This tournament is organized in the form of a "ticket race" (which we will call "BFNations system") It does not pursue the classic "Swiss system”.
The qualifications/eliminations do not depend on previously established groups/pools, obtaining and calculating points is done in a different way.
The BFNations system is structured as follows:
A given number of teams compete in different matches in order to gain points, these points allow them to obtain a place in the ranking established by a scoreboard which is updated after each match during 3 distinct phases.
The points correspond to the tickets. To earn points, you have to win tickets during the matches played (e.g. in a round won 80 to 0 the winning team wins 80 points and the losing team wins 0).
TEAMS: teams must have a roster of a maximum of 16 players, all must be registered with their PSN id.
It is strictly forbidden for a player not registered in the roster of a team to play for the same team unless a derogation has been allowed by the organizer. In the same way, it is formally forbidden for a player to play for a different nation than his own except in extraordinary circumstances where in this case also a derogation is allowed by the organizer.
Each player must have only one of his accounts in the national roster, sharing accounts between players is strictly prohibited. It is possible for the team leader to make player changes during a match, but only between rounds (the round must be finished). All team leaders must have joined the BFNations discord server.
