Group Stage Rules

Post by Mr_Bramboy »

Please also take the time to look over all the tournament rules in greater detail in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=175&t=7352

The group stage format will be Best-of-3 Round Robin. There are no civilization restrictions for the group stage. That means you can play any civ you like in any game of the series. Repeat civilizations is also allowed.

Map Pool:
1) ESOC Mendocino
2) ESOC Hudson Bay
3) ESOC Florida

All games must be played on ESOC Patch.
All games must be recorded, or they may be deemed invalid.
One reset per player per match. Resets are only valid before 2 minutes and only for map-related issues. Treasures are not a valid reason for reset.

At the end of the group stage, the top 2 players in each group will advance to the bracket stage.
In the event of a three way tie, the group outcome will be decided by a playoff on the last weekend of the group stage.

well it's a best of 3, so if you are at 1-1, it would go to the final map.

You play BO3 vs each opponent once. So once a player wins 2 games its done. In other words, if you and me play and I win the first and the second game thats the result.

Because people tend to look in the group stages subforum when they're scheduling their group stage games.

I think the opposite, yesterday I didn't know where the thread was, so I naturally looked for it in the Information & Discussion section, not here.
