Event Format and Rules

Dates and Timings:
This tournament will be on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th weekends of April (starting Friday the 12th, Friday the 19th, and Friday the 26th).
Rosters must be submitted before the 30th of March. Roster changes will be locked on the 30th of March at midnight, If a team is short and needs roster addition during a weekend, it can be discussed with the organizers.
Sign ups will close on 22th of March at 23:59 UTC
Times are as follows; all matches will be played within the following times:
Friday: 18:00-23:00 UTC
Saturday: 16:00-23:00 UTC
Sunday: 15:00-20:00 UTC

All players need to be on PIL TS (ts.infantryleague.com) during their match. Matches will consist of two 15 minute halves with a 5 minute half-time. Teams may substitute players at this time but need to inform the referee. During the half-time, teams will swap Sunderer placements.
The winner of the match will be determined by the cumulative score of both halves. In the event of a tie, an additional round will be played until a winner is decided. The additional round will last 15 minutes.
Prior to the match starting, a coin flip will take place to determine the starting Sunderer sides. The lower seeded team will call the flip, and the winner will choose their starting side. The base will start as owned by the team that wins the flip, at the 50% mark.
A faction preference, provide to the organizers before matches begin, will determine factions (VS>TR>NC, for example). If two teams have identical preferences, a coin flip will occur to determine who plays what faction. The winner of the flip will choose their faction first.
The map will be chosen after a ban phase, with teams alternating bans. Each team has two bans. After the bans, a randomizer will determine the base between the two remaining bases.
If multiple matches are scheduled for the same time, map selection will be on a first come first serve basis. Once a match is selected that map will be removed from the pool for other matches scheduled at the same time.
If there are two matches at the same time the second match will be two bans for each side, then one remaining map will be selected.
If there are three matches at the same time the third match will get one ban per team with a randomized third match.
The final will be Best-of-3, the format ban-ban-pick-pick-randomizer will be used to choose the maps.


Rosters:
The teams are required to submit a roster of players to the organizers by the 30th of March. Rosters must consist of a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 12 players. When submitting their roster, each team rep must assign every player to an account. Each team will be given as many PSB accounts as they need (maximum 12).
Players are allowed to use personal/named accounts.
Before the match begins, the members playing in the match must be identified to the organizer. If a substitution occurs at half time, then the organizers need to be made aware by the team’s captain before play begins. Substitutions will not be allowed while play is ongoing.
Team names may only be linked to an outfit with the permission of that outfit’s leadership.
When the halves start, only the 6 active players per team may be online.
Teams who have their own accounts may use these instead of PSB accounts, but the outfit creation rules still apply.
Team will be expected to have set up outfits on all 3 factions, and add each account to that outfit before the beginning of matches, and provide the [TAGS] alongside faction choice. Accounts that are not in the outfit before the start of a match will not be counted in the official score.
