Each team PICKS 2 MAPS and ALL 4 MUST BE PLAYED.
(if both teams agree then a map can be played more than once).
(If both teams agree, any of these maps can be replaced by another map, except dmm4 maps).
MATCH TAG should be inserted by typing /2on2 HT on console, before match starts.
THE FIRST TEAM TO PICK MUST BE DONE BY THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE:
(If teams don't agree on who picks first)
/RND TEAM-X TEAM-Y
(pick as you go is the default rule)
(example):
team Y was chosen, must pick first map and play it
team X picks 1 map and plays it
team Y picks 1 map and plays it
team X picks 1 map and plays it
game over.
During a game, if a team doesn't want to play more, they can type "/break".
The opponents can choose to type break or keep playing.
IF /BREAK happens then the map will be loss by the team that decided to break first. The final result will be whatever score was at the moment of break.
(Please download demo).
Screenshots or any kind of prove of that map’s “break” decision must be sent on discord to an @admin.
Walkover on a map will result in 100 negative frags to the loser and 100 positive frags to the winner on that map.
(please inform an admin that there is 1 less demo on the file that you reported and what map was WO).
Disconnecting voluntarily during a match means a straight walkover on current map or game (unless "timed out" - decision by admins).
Unnecessary whining is not necessary.
Any kind of lameness will not be tolerated and can lead to WO in the current game or to a ban for the current and next season.
Movement scripts are not allowed. Make sure to check that your opponents have them turned off before the game.
Wall-hacks, aim-bots, automatic timers, ghosting and/or any other kind of cheats are not allowed, this will lead to a permanent BAN on this league.

Alternatively you can look for your demos at https://vikpe.org/qw-demos/
Players must use the nick they signup on official games.
Demos reported that contain players with different nicks will NOT be accepted.
DOWNLOAD ALL DEMOS BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE SERVER !
Games between different region players can happen, so keep in mind that the new ANTILAG client can be used.
The League Admins insist that the players server-choice is done with common sense and that pings are kept as low as possible, however, if players don't agree, the server is determined by the following procedure:
- All players have to show their lowest possible ping 2. A server has to be found where all players get a ping, which is about the same amount, higher than their lowest possible ping.
- If teams still can't agree on a server, please contact admins about it.
Admin decision is final.
Also, to clarify problems with connection. If a player has problems with his connection during a map, it's up to his opponent to break and restart that same map or keep playing it until the end.
- If his opponent decided to play until the end of the map then, if teams don't agree on what to do next, an admin should be notified to resolve the situation. Can be decided that the remaining maps should be played on another time and/or day.
Administrator’s decision is final.
Whatever settings were used we assume both teams agreed.
1 Point for each map won
1 Point for activity
4 Points for game WO victory
-1 Point for game WO loss
FRAGS FOR WO VICTORY:
THE NUMBER OF ALL THE TEAM FRAGS "FOR" DIVIDED BY THE NUMBER OF MAPS PLAYED* = FRAG "FOR" AVERAGE NUMBER.
* (ALL GAMES, ONLY AFTER TOURNAMENT IS OVER)
IN THE END OF THE LEAGUE, IF 2 OR MORE TEAMS HAVE THE SAME EXACT NUMBER OF POINTS THEN:
1. THE MATCH SCORE POINTS BETWEEN THOSE TEAMS WILL DETERMINE WHICH STAYS ON TOP.
2. IN CASE OF THOSE SAME MATCHES (referred in point 1).
1) WAS A DRAW THEN THE FRAG DIFFERENCE WILL DETERMINE WHO STAYS ON TOP.
(IN THE EXTREME CASE OF FRAG DIFFERENCE IS EQUAL BETWEEN THOSE TEAMS, THEN A BO5 GAME MUST HAPPEN IN THE END OF THE LEAGUE)
(THIS GAME MUST BE PLAYED ON THE DAY FOLLOWING THE LAST ROUND DEADLINE, AT 18 CET)
(IF BOTH TEAMS DON'T SHOW FOR THIS GAME, THEN /RND PLAYER-Y PLAYER-X WILL DETERMINE WHO STAYS ON TOP)
WO will be given to the team that during the week tried to schedule the game without success. If none of the teams tried to schedule then WO will be assigned to both.
IMPORTANT NOTE: ON THE 1st WO, THAT TEAM WILL BE DISQUALIFIED (In the end of the league).
This means that NO WALKOVERS ARE ALLOWED !!!
Disqualification:
When a team is disqualified ALL his games (played and remaining) as well as his results will be erased and ALL his opponents will receive WO.
1. As all teams are going to the playoffs, this season we will not disqualify teams with WO.
2. Right after brackets are complete, if teams agree, they can play Round 1 ahead of schedule.
3. /RND to decide who picks first.

5. Each map can only be played once.
6. Only maps in the pool are allowed.
7. Reports will be done by pasting demos and screenshots on #playoffs channel.
