2.1.2. General Rules:
If the match ends in a draw (both defending side’s win and got stuck on the same objective or checkpoint), a random preset Control map will be played. The team to capture the first objective wins the match.
If both attacking sides win, the victory will be award to the team that completed the map in the fastest time. If no screenshots or other match media is available the match will be treated as a draw. (Teams WILL NOT make use of the in-game Coin Flip mechanic in case of a draw.)
Screenshots from each round are required, in the case of game result disputes.
2.2. Map Pick/Veto
Unless otherwise specified, the map pick/veto rules are as follows:
The highest seeded team will be chosen to start the pick & ban phase.
Teams alternately ban maps until number of maps needed (1 for Bo1, 3 for Bo3 or 5 for Bo5) remain, which will make up the map pool used for the series.
Once the required number of maps remain, teams will continue banning until one map remains, which will be the starting map for the series.
The team that banned second will select their starting side for the first match in the series.
For games in the Championship bracket beyond pool play, the loser of the previous map will choose the next map from the remaining maps in the map pool, and the winner of the previous map will choose the starting side.
Each map may only be played once in a series.
