Rules
SpeenLeague Rules
(Changes highlighted in yellow)
Section 1: Format
The format is broken into three sections: Group Stages, Playoffs, and Relegations
Group Stage (all players)
Two groups of 6 players
One group is for Americas (runs on America times); the other is for Eurasia (runs on Europe times)
Double round robin Bo4
Map pool changes between round robin 1 and round robin 2
All broadcasted Eurasia games happen on Saturday; all broadcasted Americas games happen on Sunday
Two matches per week (10 matches total)
Pool results are determined by map record, then head-to-head record, then a tiebreaker match if all else is equal
Top 4 players from each pool advance to the playoff stage
Bottom 2 players from each pool go to the relegation stage
Playoff Stage (top 4 of each group only)
Double elimination
Top player of each group advances to WB Round 2 (semifinal); 4th place player goes straight to LB Round 1; 2nd and 3rd place players of each group face each other in WB Round 1
WB Round 1 and 2 and LB Round 1 and 2 will be Bo5
WB Round 3 (Final) and LB Round 3 and 4 (Final) will be Bo7
Grand Finals (and possible bracket reset) will be Bo9
Relegation Stage (bottom 2 of each group only)
Consists of the bottom 2 players from each group and the top 4 non-SpeenLeague players (determined by circuit points)
Operates on a challenge system: the top eligible non-league players may challenge bottom league players for their spot
The top 2 non-SpeenLeague players each earn two challenges (but cannot challenge the same person twice); the 3rd and 4th highest non-SpeenLeague players each get one challenge, and may choose before the top 2 players’ second challenges
The 5th place player of each group may be challenged once; the 6th place player of each group may be challenged twice, but only by two separate people
All matches are Bo5
Section 2: Picks and Bans
Picks and bans will work on a Striking system
The home player gets choice of first or second ban
Players will take turns banning a map until one map is left; this will be the map for the first match, with the last player being considered the “picking” player
In group stage, after the first map is played, maps will be picked by alternating players
In playoffs, after the first map is played, loser picks the subsequent map
We will let you know when if we are/aren’t receiving your stream
When you have completed a map, stay on the results screen until told by a referee that you are okay to move on
Unnecessary toxicity will result in an immediate DQ
Any decision made by a TO or Referee is final, arguing will result in further actions outside of the tournament such as a kick or ban from SpinShare
Section 3: Discrepancies
In the event of a tie or double fail in any round, a random decider map will be pulled from the full map-pool of the current round
In the event of a hardware lag-spike that causes a noticeable score difference, the player who experienced the lag spike can choose to replay the round, with the other player being allowed to do a second run and take the higher of their scores
Only one lag-reset per song is permitted
In the event that a player is unable to stream their matches, they will suffer a match loss for each unfulfilled match after being given reasonable time to correct technical issues.
In the event that a player changes their in-game settings to something unreasonable, they will suffer a match loss for the first infraction, and a DQ for subsequent infractions.
In the event that a player cannot make a match during group stage, they will be allowed to reschedule their match offline within the same week, provided they give advance notice (preferably 1 week’s advance notice); without notice, they will suffer a match loss for each unfulfilled match.
In the event that a player has an incorrect chart, they will be given one reset per match; any further incorrect charts in a match will result in an immediate point loss
Section 4: Scoring towards invitational
During Group Stage, each player gets 1 point for each match win.
Players who have reached the SpeenLeague playoffs will automatically earn top 8 seeding for the next SpeenOpen, in the order that they finish (5th-6th and 7th-8th broken by the final position of the person who eliminated them). In addition, they will achieve points towards the Invitational Standings as follows:
1st: 8
2nd: 6
3rd: 4
4th: 3
5th-6th: 2
7th-8th: 1
