Tournament Structure
Main tournament info:
Group stage will this year be different from past years. This year we will use the GSL group format (Global Starcraft league)
This means the group stage will be a double elimination best-of-tree veto format.
Each group will consist of one high, one mid, one low and one non-seeded team.
Seeding will be done from the teams that have signed up and paid.
The best two teams in each group will move on to the A tournament bracket, the other two will enter the B tournament bracket.
1st and 2nd advances to the A tournament bracket. 3rd and 4th advances to the B tournament bracket.
The GSL group system:
Match 1: Team 1 vs. Team 4
Match 2: Team 2 vs. Team 3
Match 3: Winner of match 1 vs. winner of match 2 (The winner advances to Playoffs with Seed 1)
Match 4: Looser of match 1 vs. looser of match 2
Match 5: Winner of match 4 vs. looser of match 3 (The winner advances to Playoffs with Seed 2)
After the group stage has been completed, we move on to the single elimination best-of-three format playoffs.
Both A and B brackets will follow this format.

Before the match
Through the official results and fixture list it is possible to see when to play. The announced times for matches has to be respected and the administrators maintain the right to forfeit teams that turn up late. Make sure to always be prepared and ahead of schedule. Warm-up has to be done PRIOR to the scheduled start of the match. Delay of games will not be tolerated - if a team haven´t typed "ready" in the server within 15 minutes after the match is scheduled to start, the match is forfeitet for the other team. if your team isnt ready 15 minutes after the match is scheduled, and you got a valid explanation (decided by the admin). the match isnt forfeitet, and the admin has to decide if the game starts when both teams are ready, or some sort of penalty is in order.
A minimum of 4 players is required to play a match. With 3 players or less a team forfeits the match in question.
If your next match is to be played on stage, you have to set up on stage as soon as your previous match has ended (or as soon as possible)

Defusing It is illegal to defuse the bomb from behind objects like through a wall, under a train wagon etc. The bomb must be at least partially visible to the defusing player (disregarding smokes and flashes that might block the view). For example on dust2 it is illegal to defuse through the wall unless the bomb is actually visible from the defusing position. A fake defuse is just as illegal as a completed defuse. Violation will cost 3 rounds loss (the violating team will lose 3 rounds, the other team will gain those 3 rounds). Bomb-planting Bomb-boosting will not be permitted. This is seen as an advantage towards the terrorists. The bomb can only be planted by the bomb carrier without any intervention from team-mates.

In doubt: Ask your administrator! Player substitution - All player substitutions must be discussed with the administrator. - The player going out must be completely disconnected before his replacement may join the server. Pausing Pausing for the purpose of tactical timeouts, cigarette breaks or similar is forbidden – for authorized pause see “Client breakdown”. Kill It is illegal to write kill in the console at any point in time during a match. If a kill happens and the team in question benefits from it (the player getting more money the next round instead of 0) it will cost 3 rounds.

That includes: - AWP fastswitch/zoom scripts are illegal and will result in a forfeit of the match in question. - Bunny-jump scripts are illegal and will result in a forfeit of the match in question. - Turn scripts are illegal and will result in a forfeit of the match in question. - Walk/run/silent scripts are illegal and will result in a forfeit of the match in question. - Recoil scripts are illegal and will result in a forfeit of the match in question. In short, all other scripts than buy-scripts are illegal! Client breakdown If a player disconnects from the server due to technical reasons the match is paused following the

6. completion of the round in question. The relevant team-captain pauses the game. Only the team-captain who paused may unpause the game again. The game may be paused when either the “Counter-Terrorists win” or “Terrorists win” is shown on the screen and until the end of freeze time of the following round. If the disconnected player or a substitution is not on the server within 10 minutes from the time of disconnection the match is continued without the missing player. Switch breakdown If a switch breaks down during a match for any reason (not directly involving the team concerned) and 3 or more players are disconnected, regulations concerning server breakdown apply. Ebot If Ebot is online we will, if possible, restore the match as a first solution. Ebot will restart the round where the crash happened
If Ebot crashes during a match rules for server breakdown apply.
Server breakdown
See the Ebot section.
If the Ebot is unable to restore matches, the following rules apply:
During the first 3 rounds: if a server crashes during the first 3 round the match is restarted. After the first 3 rounds: if a server crashes after the first 3 rounds the match continues with start money set to 6500. Before the start of the second round following the crash start money will be reset to 800. The server does not recover: if the server cannot recover from the crash the teams are assigned a new server by an administrator. When is a round completed? A round is completed when either “Counter-Terrorist win” or “Terrorist win” is displayed on the screen. When does a round count? If a kill or plant is executed the round count as played. This is only valid if Team A disconnects from the server and Team B is still playing after the first 3 rounds have been played.7
After the match
Report the result to the CSGO administrator immediately after the match. Teams that fail to do this can be penalized by a warning. Teams are advised ALWAYS to check the result upon completion of a match. Make sure to check when your team’s next match will be played so that your team can be ready in due time. It is also encouraged that teams remind each other of upcoming matches in good time. Conflicts If a conflict arises before, during or under a match, an administrator is contacted immediately to resolve the issue. If the conflict includes a complaint against an opponent, an administrator or anything else the procedure of next part applies.

7. If the conflict arises during the game and demands immediately actions from administrators use the pause command after "CT/T Wins" but before freeze time ends. Complaints If a team wants to issue a complaint the procedure is as follows: Discuss amongst yourselves what precisely your complaint is. Then direct your complaint to an administrator and explain your case. Make sure to have evidence to support your claims whenever possible. The accuser must at all times supply all necessary evidence (ei. in-eye demo) for the complaint to be evaluated fairly by the game administrators. The administrator will then contact the accused team and register their version of the case. Based on this information and in consultation with each other the administrators then reach a verdict in the case. This verdict is final. Penalties and disqualification If rules are broken, referees can in unison with the tournament administrators apply penalties according to their judgment. Penalties that can be applied are the following; - warning (See next title) - 3 round loss or more (the violating team will lose 3 rounds, the other team will gain those 3 rounds). - default loss - banning a player/team from the venue - disqualification of a player/team from the entire tournament - deduction of rounds Warnings When a rule is broken the tournament administrators can choose to assign a player or team a warning. A warning to a player is equal to a warning to the team. There are 2 types of warnings: - Minor warning (yellow card) - Major warning (red card) 2 minor warnings equals a major warning. Incidents which can result in a warning: - Bad behavior - Bad behavior towards judges and opponents - Violation of the rules - Delay without agreement from admins - Intentional bug-abuse (major warning) In serious cases major warnings will be applied right away. Several major warnings can be applied at once. 3 major warnings will result in disqualification from the tournament.

8. Demos & Screenshots * It is advisable, although not compulsory, to record demos and take screenshots of your matches. Having these will help support your case in the event of any dispute.
