Time/Date
30 January, 1pm EST start (on both days). Check in will open 2 hours before the start of the tournament on the first day. http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/est
Voting has closed and Saturday, as usual, is the preferred day.
Format
Double elimination seems to be the player favorite, so we'll stick with that.
The bracket can be viewed here: http://challonge.com/rngrst
Map Selection
Coming soon
The following system will be used.
- First 3 maps are randomly generated with TO tweaking but follow the pattern of SZ-TC-RM
- If the set is not decided after the third game, the losing team gets to choose the gamemode and map for the fourth round
- If the set is still not decided, the team that previously didn't get to choose gets to do so now
- If one team isn't universally better than the other team, the set will not end before the 4th game
- This means every team will get to play the preferred mode twice every set
- For the Grand Finals and Bracket Reset, it will work in the same way. After the first 3 games, the losing team will select a map/mode combination, then the losing team after each game will take turns selecting a map/mode combination
Sub Rules
Each team is allowed to sub 1 player between each game. If a player disconnects, they are allowed to sub 2, as per the disconnection rules below.
Communication
Communication will be done via Discord before the tournament and on the day.

Disconnection
If a player disconnects, each team is allowed one remake per round. Evidence must be provided.
In the event of a remake, teams are expected to have the same choice of weapons, but these are not locked to the players.
For example, X, the Eliter, disconnects and is replaced by Y. Z is better with chargers than Y, so Z takes over the Eliter role, and Y uses the weapon that Z was previously using.
Hosting
The 'lower' team on the Challonge bracket may choose who hosts.
