Chapter 3 - Match Procedure

3.1 Schedule
Team capitains must schedule their matches before the set deadline. If a team does not show up to a match, please report it on the support chat on acsleague.net

3.2 Before The Match
Before the start of a match, each team must introduce his team captain to the tournament officials. It can be one of the five players or the official coach. The team captain must remain the same person during the entire tournament. The team captain is the person in charge of his team toward the tournament officials. He has to be the person to sign up, handle official complaints or any other problems to tournament officials.

3.3 Map Vetoes
Map vetoes will be held with a tournament official in the warmup period before the game.

Map selection for a league stage match
EU ACS will use the following map draft system:
Coinflip to decide who picks first
Team A ban a map
Team B ban a map
Team A ban a map
Team B ban a map
Team A pick a map
Team B pick a map

Map selection for a best-of-three match
EU ACS will use the map drafting system that Valve has made. It works the following way:
An admin will coinflip to determine which team begins the veto process.
Team A will ban a map
Team B will ban a map
Team A will pick a map (played first in the best-of-three)
Team B will pick a map (played second in the best-of-three)
Team A will ban a map
Team B will ban a map
The remaining map will be used as the 3rd map if the series goes three games.

3.5 During The Match
League stage matches may differ from the rules stated here, ask an admin for more info.

All players in a match must be registered on toornament.

We recommend that you use our Discord of TS3 server for voice communication in the tournament period so it is easy for the admins to contact you.

Once the match is over the team captain may officially ask for an investigation to tournament officials. It is strongly advised to provide valuable information that may help the tournament director in his investigation. Unjustified and repetitive use of this right may be sanctioned. Reports must be submitted through the support chat on acsleague.net
