PLAYOFF
The 4 best placed teams are seeded for the Playoff.
They are determined in accordance with the following criteria (in
descending order):
a. higher number of points obtained in the group matches;
If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches,
the following criteria are applied in the order given to determine their rankings:
a. higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the
teams in question;
b. superior map difference from the group matches played among the teams in
question;
c. higher number of maps won in the group matches played among the teams
in question;
The scheduling:
You will play against each opponent in your group, playing one game per week (or more weeks during holidays). At the end of this group stage, the highest ranked clans will proceed to the playoff and play a knockout until the final game.
If you are unable to shedule a match, admins will force the match. (contact admins ASP if you are having issues scheduling)
Wildcard: Each clan is given 1 wildcard, which it can use to cancel and reschedule a planned group match, for whatever reason. Clans are strongly advised to cherish their wildcard until they really need it because of bad luck (e.g. connection problems). Using the wildcard lightly and then losing a later match because of real problems would be a painful way to be eliminated from the cup. The wildcard can be used up until the match start time as shown on the match page.
If a clan attempts to use a Wildcard after the match start time they will forfeit the match.
Demos and screenshots: All players must record demos from the whole match. Both clans may request the demos from the other clan.
Score entries are only valid when joined with a screenshot from the entire match.
