Only if there are 6+ teams in total they'll be divided into group A & B consisting of 3-4 teams each. Points are awarded for each match in the following fashion: 4 points with a two-round win 3 points for a three-round win 2 points for a tie 1 point for a three-round loss 0 points for a two-round loss The top 4 teams of the group advances into playoffs. If there are two groups, the top 2 teams from each group advance. Ties are resolved in the order of; points gathered - flags scored - rematch. Map selection - This is how the ban-phase works, as shown below: 1. Team 1 bans their first map. 2. Team 2 bans their first map. 3. Team 1 picks their map. 4. Team 2 picks their map. 5. Team 1 bans their second map. 6. Team 2 bans their second map. Phase 2 - Playoffs - Semifinals: 4 teams advances in total, and will be seeded accordingly to how group stage went, unless there are only 4 teams total, if so Phase 2 is skipped entirely. If group A & B will be formed, 2 from each group will advance and make a finals group. A1 vs B2 & B1 vs A2 in a single elimination bracket, best of 3. How the ban-phase work, check Phase 1. Once the ban- & pick-phase is over this should leave 1 map open that's not picked nor banned, this is the tiebreaker. If the tiebreaker map is tied in a playoff round, then teams will continuing playing the same order of maps (Team 1's map, Team 2's map, tiebreaker map, Team 1's & repeat) until one team has won a game. The first team to win a game will be declared the winner and advancing to The Grand Finals. Phase 3 - Playoffs - The Grand Finals: 2 teams have made it this far and will battle it out in this magnificent best of 5 match! The ban-phase is essentially the same, but slightly different order: 1. Team 1 picks their first map. 2. Team 2 picks their first map. 3. Team 1 bans their first map. 4. Team 2 bans their first map. 5. Team 1 picks their second map. 6. Team 2 picks their second map. Once the ban- & pick-phase is over this should leave 1 map open that's not picked nor banned, this is the tiebreaker. If the tiebreaker map is tied in a playoff round, then teams will continuing playing the same order of maps (Team 1's first map, Team 2's first map, Team 1's second map, Team 2's second map, tiebreaker map & repeat) until one team has won a game. The first team to win a game will be declared the winner of the entire tournament!
