Rules
Competitive Rules
If you join, check in, or play a map, these rules apply. Owner and designated caster rulings are final.
Map and hero-ban process in plain English
This tournament uses an OWCS-style map and hero-ban process. Map 1 is Control and the higher seed chooses the Control map and starting side. After that, the team that lost the previous map picks the next legal map, mode, and starting side. Each team bans one hero per map; teams cannot repeat their own hero ban in the same series, and both bans on a map cannot be from the same role.
Format
6v6 Overwatch. Double elimination. Bracket matches are Best of 5 and Grand Final is Best of 7 with no bracket reset.
Teams
Twelve captains lead twelve teams. Each roster has seven players: 2 Tank, 2 Damage, 2 Support, and 1 Flex.
Roles
No role swaps. Players must play the role they registered, drafted, or were assigned for that series.
Subs
The Flex player can substitute between maps. Once substituted into a role for a match, that player stays role-locked for the match.
Check-In
Teams must field 6 eligible players within 10 minutes of match time or admins may call a forfeit.
Maps
Map 1 is Control. After that, the previous map loser picks the next legal map, mode, and starting side.
Hero Bans
Each team bans 1 hero per map. Teams cannot repeat their own ban in a series, and both bans cannot be from the same role.
Conduct
No cheating, throwing, griefing, harassment, stream sniping, lobby leaks, alt play, impersonation, or intentional stalling.
Penalties
Rule breaks can result in immediate penalty or disqualification. No warnings are required.
