In the case of disputes, half map boundaries will be arbitrated by the casters in live games and tournament admins in recorded games. Treasure-collecting and scouting are allowed as normal.

Map Pool and Map Rules
The map pool for the 2015 Treaty Cup consists of the following 3 maps:
6.1 - The map for Qualifier, RO64, RO32, RO16, and RO8 games will be based on a veto system. The player with the higher current Treaty PR will be granted veto advantage and the ability to ban 1 map from the set. The other player will then select the map to be played from of the 2 remaining maps.
6.2 - For example, Player 1 (PR31) has the veto advantage and bans New Orinoco. Player 2 (PR28) bans New Deccan, so the map played will be New Andes.
6.3 - Finals and Semi-Finals games will be played in this map order: New Deccan, New Andes, New Orinoco.
