* Every squad can only enter a single team
* Teams must have a team leader who communicates with other team leaders about their matches
Players can be swapped in between matches but not in between games. An exception is when one of the players is having trouble with their connection and keeps DCing, then the team leader can decide to substitute that player in the middle of a match. They can only do this is once per match though.
The tournament will consist of two stages: a group stage and a knock-out stage.
Group stage:
* The 16 teams will be randomly placed in poules of 4
* Every team plays one match against the other teams in the group
* All group stage matches are best of 5
* A win is rewarded with 3 points and loss with 0
* After all the teams in one group have played their matches, the top 2 of that group move on to the knock-out stage
* If two teams are tied, the winner is decided by who won their mutual match
Knock-out stage:
* The knock-out stage is single elimination, there's no losers or winners bracket
* Knock-out stage matches are also best of 5, though the final is best of 7
* In the quarterfinals (top 8) teams who got number 1 in their group will be matched with a number 2 from another group
A sample for the final tournament on Challonge can be found here!

For this tournament team leaders and TOs will communicate with each other to report scores, set up matches, etc. with the use of the Discord web app. It's a web app that's free, comes with servers and channels and it's pretty easy to use too, it doesn't require any installation either. Team leaders are expected to have a (temporary) account on Discord, as well as an understanding of how to use it.
* For this tournament, we'll be using the Calamari Cup Discord server for all communication (link: )
* Team leaders have to check in to the check-in channel before 20:00 CEST or their team will get disqualified
* Match results are to be posted in the results channel
* There's a general chat for conversations and discussions, so please don't get off topic in the results and check-in channels
For the team leaders' convenience there'll also be an info channel with links to the schedule, team, etc.

We'll divide DC types into 2: Last minutes, and General DC's
LAST MINUTE DC'S:
If a player disconnects in a match with less than a minute left on the clock - While the opponent team is in the lead, The game is continued and counted towards your win/loss. It will not be replayed.
If a player on the winning team at the moment DC's with less than a minute left, the match is repeated whether they end up winning or losing. This is counted as a general DC
IF ANY PLAYER ON ANY TEAM DISCONNECTS DURING OVERTIME - THE MATCH IS NOT REPLAYED AND COUNTED AS A LAST MINUTE DC FOR THAT TEAM
GENERAL DC'S:
Meanwhile, DC'ing in general (Which includes DCing by either team in the first 4 minutes) is only given a single warning. If anybody gets a second DC (Which is counted in terms of the whole team, not specific players) Then the specific game will be counted as a loss. A 3rd DC from any other player in the team and the whole set will be forfeited.
------------
When a DC occurs and the match is replayed, players from both teams will have to use the same weapons they originally chose. We'll be going off the basis that people are truthful and won't lie for the sake of a game. If a player is subbed out, which can only be done after 1 DC, the sub must use the same weapon as the previous member if the same game is being replayed (This only happens in the case of a general DC)
The tourney will begin 19 September at 19:00 CEST with the group stage. As mentioned before, team leaders have to check in in Discord channel before 20:00 CEST. All group stage matches are to be finished by 00:00 CEST September 20th, which means everyone has 5 hours to finish all their 3 matches. Any teams that haven't finished their matches by 00:30 CEST will get a loss for every match they've not finished.
The knock-out stage will begin 20 September at 19:00 CEST and team leaders will have to check in once more. Again, all matches are to be finished by 00:00 CEST.
