If a map ends in a 1–1 round split, the winner of that map is determined in the following order:
| Decider | When It Applies | How Winner Is Determined |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Total Tickets (Both Rounds Combined) | Always checked first. | Add remaining tickets from Round 1 + Round 2. The team with the higher total wins the map. |
| 2. Win Time | Only if total tickets are tied. | Compare the time needed to win the round each team won. The faster win time wins the map. |

All registrations take place through the tournament system, where it is not a problem to create a team and insert your teammates into it (their usernamens on this website). They will then receive an invitation and as soon as they confirm their participation, you can register to the tournament.
Before the tournament, it is mandatory to confirm participation (checked-in) in the tournament system, via the button in header of this tournament! In practice, this means that the captains of the playing teams must confirm their participation in the tournament here on the website just before the tournament. Those who do not do so in time will be replaced by a substitute team.
We reserve the right to change any of the above rules, even during any tournament.
The admin of each competition has the right to change/modify any rule as well as the decision to grant an exception in a specific, precisely defined case. All cases not specified here are handled individually by the admin. Please note that some rules cannot be applied to all types of tournaments.
