Finals round is a best of 5 match. All other rounds are best of 3.

The higher seed will veto first. Lower seed will select the first map.

All subsequent maps are picked by the loser of the previous game based off the leftover maps in the pool.

Races must be communicated prior to vetos occurring. Races may not be changed after vetoes occur for that specific round. Races may be changed each round; admin needs to be notified about race change too.

Hosting

Unless otherwise agreed upon, each player will take turns hosting the first two games of the series (four if in the finals).

The final host of the series will default to a US West host.

Exceptions to this rule would be if there is an acceptable midpoint host (i.e. Australia player vs European player would likely use a US East host).

Contact Stag3craft or another admin if a dispute needs to be settled.
