Mapgen games rules: Players host Mapgen in Tournament Format. Map sizes are determined in the Challonge. Each match you have ONE veto. In case veto is used, Mapgen is rerolled.

NB: The Tournament Director may find a map to be unsuitable for competitive play, in that case the TD may propose regenerating the map. The regeneration may only proceed with the explicit agreement of both participating players.

If players disagree on who will generate the map, they should make a !roll in #aeolus. The one who gets the highest number generates and hosts the map. If the rolled number is the same for both, players do !roll until there is a winner.

The tournament follows the FAF official rules as defined here https://forum.faforever.com/topic/6167/official-tournament-rules with a few additions:

If you don’t show up at the start of the tournament without notifying us, you’ll be disqualified from the current and next tournament. If you can't make it, let me know in advance so I can adjust the brackets.
Matches resulting in an end due to technical issues before 5 minutes have to be replayed with the same setup on the same map. The Tournament Director has a last say.
In case of draw the map is replayed with the same setup, players switch sides.
If a player doesn't show up in R1 they may be replaced, Otherwise after R1 it will be treated as a forfeit and they will be eliminated and not replaced.
Games on incorrect maps or with incorrect settings will not count and have to be replayed correctly.
The Tournament Director's decison is final.

Players that are not allowed to play in this tournament:
