FORMAT
Each team will choose one map for each matchup, the following rules will then apply:
(1) 4 team round robin, followed by "gold" and "bronze" pairings between the top two and bottom two teams. Thus each team has three pairings in the round robin, and a fourth afterward.
(2) Hosting is decided by coin toss at the beginning of the first match of a pairing. Hosting duties are alternated between matches; a team can switch which member hosts or even defer hosting to the other team if lag issues arise.
(3) The team that is not hosting selects the map for the match and also has their choice of COG or Locust.
(4) Each pairing will consist of a best of 3 matches; each match will be configured as a best of 4 games. Round timings will be 5 minutes, with all other options (bleed time, weapon selections, friendly fire, etc.) set to default.
(5) In the event of a 1-1 tie after the first two matches of a pairing, the third match will be played on Gridlock. The team that won the most rounds in the preceding two matches of the pairing hosts the third match, though as above they can defer in the event of lag.
