Choosing Maps:

In order to select the maps played for each BO3, the two participants in each bracket stage will discuss amongst themselves which maps they would like to veto. Each player will be given the right to 3 vetoes and the bottom player in the bracket will be given the first veto. Each player will also submit vetoes sequentially.

Once the list is down to 9 maps, the players will be given the right to pick which of the nine they wish to play. The bottom seed will be given the right to pick the first map and the top seed will pick the second. The players will then report the list of maps alongside the two they pick to the Tournament Director. The Tournament Director will pick the third map from the list of potential maps in the case of a tie. Do note if a segment of the tournament is lagging behind the rest of the tournament, the Tournament Director reserves the right to require the players to play different maps from their chosen maps in order to speed their section up.

Choosing Factions:

Both players will also message the Tournament Director the 2 factions they pick to potentially play in their first game alongside the faction they wish to veto in that first game once they have decided on the first map. They will repeat this as their games go on in their BO3. A veto only applies to their opponent, so it is perfectly viable to pick a faction and veto it. If players deviate from their given factions, then they will forfeit the round on that map. A faction selection is final once given to the Tournament Director and cannot be edited later on. If a map was picked by a player in a preceding round and then picked again in another round, they are able to pick a different faction if they so wish.

Decided to remove forbidden pass due to the imbal reclaim, replaced with crafty.

Also as a reminder, if you haven't played ladder in a year, then you aren't going to show up on the leaderboards and so I'm going to treat your rating as a 0.

I would like to join, please.

I am also up.

one question: am I allowed to play more than one qualifier?
and another one: what if a player is fourth is one, and second in another. this would rek the groups. do I consequently deduct correctly that a player can only play another qualifier, if he hasnt qualified already? is this maybe the nature of a "qualifier"? to play until you qualify? isnt it obvious? am I maybe a retard?

If you qualify you cannot play another qualifier. If you fail to qualify, you can keep trying to qualify.

If i would get eg. 4th place, can I give up the $ reward and the spot (spot n.5 gets my place) and instead choose to participate in the next qualifier?

You cannot retroactively decide your game results. If you are in the semifinals and decide to forfeit, you would get 4th place.
