Match Details

The games are played on best of 3 games rules (First team to win 2 games wins the matchup). Each Team plays one game as allies and second as axis. In case of a draw, the 3rd game will be played.
1-1 tie: The losing team will have 0 VPs left. If a team is annihilated or has surrendered from the game, their VPs are considered "drained to 0". The VP leader can be found by comparing who had more VPs left in the game that he won.
Teams who had the lead on VP points in first 2 games chooses the faction in 3rd game. It is required for winning team to write down the score and save the replay. Replays are required to move ahead in the bracket. (if you don't know how to send a replay contact us.)

Match Parameters

• 500 Victory Points
  
• Random Positions
  
• Standard Resources
  
• All factions and commanders are allowed

Maps

Maps are chosen from 5 standard maps from automatch. That is: Rails and Metal, Moscow Outskirts, Semosky, Vaux Farmland and Road to Kharkov. First 2 games are played on one map, and potential 3rd game on another.
The map that the game will be played on is chosen by VETO system: each team chooses one map that they don't want to play on, until only one map is left. In case of 3rd game, the losing team will veto 3 maps, then there will be 2 maps left. The team that had the lead on VP points chooses from these 2 maps.
In case of 3rd game, teams first choose the faction and then the map. (Some maps are easier for some factions, and a team who had the lead on VP points could potentially arrange themselves a game with very big advantages. This is done to lessen this effect).

Match Ups

We'll be using Challonge to randomly generate the bracket.

Rules

No verbal abuse, this includes, sexism, racism, comments about sexual orientation or threats of violent or sexual attack, excessive chat spam, personal attacks; above all use common sense.
No stream cheating (viewing opponents stream during a match), this will result in a DQ.
No use of 3rd party programs (zoom mod, map hack, etc.) that gives you an unfair advantage against your opponent. Guilty parties will be DQ'd and banned from attending further events. Voice chat programs such as ventrilo and teamspeak are allowed. You are free to use the TAW TS server if desired.
Collusion will not be tolerated, any guilty parties will be DQ'd and barred from this event and attending further events.
No-shows without letting TAW know will result in a ban on future tournaments.

Replays & Score Submittal

Players must save replays of each game and submit them after the match. You may upload them to COH2.ORG using the "My Files" feature and then send the link to Damichem. You can find the 'My Files' section by placing your cursor over your name in the top right of this website. When sending the links of the files, please also report the final score for the match. You can upload publicly to the replay section if you really really want to, but again I request you don't to avoid spoilers.

Prizes

TAW is offering a reward of two $20 steam gift cards to 1st place, and 2nd place will receive 2 DLC commanders of your choice per player.
