If there is not an official GEL caster/moderator/host in the match. The team on top in the bracket will host the first game, and host will alternate each game.

Map Pool: King, Pine, Speedball, Stack, Gulag Showers, Cargo, Docks

In the case that the Loser’s Bracket are best of 1s (if there are 20 or more teams), the map will rotate between Docks, King, and Speedball, alternating each round.

Players can have a 5 minute break in between games, and again must be present at the end of the 5 minute break to start their game or receive a DQ.

 INCOMPLETE TEAMS: 

It is highly recommended to form a team prior to the start of the league night (you may utilize our discord to find a team: https://discord.gg/fRZA2HU ). If you still do not have a team at the start of the tournament, we will place players into the bracket based on when people arrived, on a first-come first-serve basis

 CROSS-PLATFORM: 

Under 32 teams signed up would mean a cross-platform tournament.

Over 32 teams signed up would mean Consoles and PC's will be separated into different bracket wings. All platforms would meet at the final four (PC VS. CON and PC VS. CON ----> Championship round: Winner VS. Winner). You will need to own the game and have online gaming capabilities(subscriptions+HighSpeed Wifi+console/PC/equipment).
