Starting Positions
On 2p maps, Allies will always start in position 1. On 4p maps, Allies may choose between 1 and 2, Axis may choose between 3 and 4.
Vetos
Both players take turns vetoing maps until 3 maps remain. Player B vetos first. Player A picks the map for Game 1 & Game 2 from the remaining 3 maps. Player B will pick the maps for Game 3 & Game 4. The last remaining map is for Game 5, if necessary.
Submissions
All replays from the tournament must be uploaded to COH2.ORG. The winner of the match must leave a message in the steam group chat room for the referees to advance the winner in the brackets.
Coverage
I will try to cast as many series as I can (live or otherwise) but obviously will only be able to cast so many! I encourage other casters to pick up tourney games if they want. I'll be streaming all casts live on Twitch and uploading videos afterward on YouTube.
Prize
SCC4 will be funded through this Kickstarter.
