Tournament Format

There will be three rounds: the qualifiers, the semifinals, and the finals. The first round (the qualifiers) will be seeded such that players that have performed well in past tournaments will be given higher seeds. This will keep each group fair, and make sure that all players have a reasonable shot at reaching the finals.

The win timer for all matches except the finals will be 3 minutes. The finals will have a win timer of 5 minutes.

Qualifier: Canopy will be played for the qualifiers.

Based on the number of sign-ups, the qualifiers will be split into four or more groups, and each group will have as close to five players as possible.

If we have fewer than 23 players, there will be four groups, and the top two players from each group will move on. Additionally, the third place player from each of the four groups will play in a special group, and the top two players from that group will move on.

If we have 23 or more players, there will be five groups and the top two players from each group will move on.

Semifinal: Built Among the Clouds will be played for the semifinals.

The 10 players that advanced from the qualifier will be split into two groups, and for each group of five, the top two players will move on. Additionally, the third and fourth place players from each group will play in a special group, and the winner of that match will move on.

Final: Impact will be played for the finals.

The five players that advanced from the semifinals will play a single match with an extended win timer of five minutes, and prizes will be awarded based on placement in this match.

Additional Rules

• Modifying your game client is disallowed for this tournament, including but not limited to Spectrum and its plugins. Specifically, anything that allows you to gain an advantage over players using unmodified game clients (for example, the heat plugin), will be considered cheating and must be disabled for the duration of the tournament.
  
  
• Entrants must also be prepared to join the appropriate server at any moment from 12pm to 2pm PT. Server info will be sent to you via Discord. If you don't immediately join the server after being requested to join you will be disqualified and we will move on without you.
