There are four maps you must play in a multiplayer lobby with others. You play each set of maps twice, with a 5 minute break in between. This will determine whether or not you qualify for the tournament. Only the top 64 players will advance.

Tournament Rules and Format

• Double Elimination - This means there is a loser's bracket.
• Each player is allowed to ban two maps from the map pool per match. You can only ban one map per category. Each category is based on map type, and you will be able to view the possible categories on the map pool spreadsheet in the future.
• Each player may choose one warm-up map to play before the match. The warm-up must not exceed 4 minutes in length, and it must be uploaded on Quaver's website.
• Free rate will be turned off (you must use the rate specified for each map)
• If you are thinking of rescheduling your match, please do it up to 24 hours before your match time. We will give you more information on how to reschedule in the coming days.
• If a disconnect happens up to 30 seconds into a match, it will be restarted.
• The tie-breaker map will only be played in the case of a tie (both players being one away from the point limit)
