All matches are Best-of-Three (Bo3). The picks and bans process starts with a coin flip in the Discord channel and then works as follows:

• Winner of flip picks map 1
• Loser of flip picks map 2
• Winner of flip bans a map
• Loser of flip bans a map
• Winner of flip bans a map
• Loser of flip bans a map
• Remaining map is map 3

Picks and bans will be completed before the match begins.

Because this game has no "sudden death" mechanic, it's possible that players could tie in two ways: by drawing on the third map when the score is 1-1 or by drawing on all 3 maps. The second situation is incredibly unlikely but in the event it does occur, picks/bans will be reset and you'll replay the match from scratch.

If you draw the third map while the score is 1-1, we will simply restart that third map until a winner is decided.

• Matches are to be organized through Challonge and the RF Community/FactionFiles Discord. End game scoreboard screenshots or a video of the match is required as proof of results.
• Players may enter the tournament once, must be a member of the Discord, and must provide a valid Discord username when registering. No registrations will be accepted after the registration deadline passes.
• "Smurfing" or playing under an alternative alias and/or Discord account is not allowed and will be grounds for an instant disqualification from the tournament. If the identity of a player is deemed to be suspicious, we may ask to see some sort of social media history and/or evidence to support the player's identity.
• Dash Faction 1.5.0 is the recommended client version for players. It is highly encouraged that players familiarize themselves to at least some degree with each map in the pool prior to the event.
• Matches will be played throughout the day on Nov 21 (starting at 12 noon EST), potentially overflowing to Nov 22 if necessary based on registration numbers. Matches will run in parallel across multiple servers. Players will need to be in the Discord channel and check in to the tournament on Challonge at least 15 minutes before the tournament start time to ensure all the matches can start on time. Any registered players who do not check in to the tournament prior to start time will be disqualified.
• It goes without saying but cheating via any method (including macros, auto-clickers or other third-party tools/assistance) is not allowed and will be grounds for disqualification.

Good luck everyone! If you have any questions or concerns on anything about the tournament, please ask in the #ff-fall2020-duel channel on the RF Community Discord (FactionFiles).
