Tournament Format
The tournament will be played using a single elimination bracket, which each match being played best out of three. The first two maps will be assigned to you by Crossfire, if a decider is required the map will be chosen through elimination of THE ENTIRE MAPPOOL. The player who has won the first map will eliminate first.
The player pool will consist of 64 spots, in case this number of signups isn't reached all the lowest seeded players will get a BYE to the next round (corresponding to the number of players needed to fill up the player pool).
Semifinalists for this cup (all four players) will be asked to attend a short meeting to schedule the final matches for the cup. We prefer to have all three games played on the same day in quick succession to accommodate coverage and streams. We don't want the fans to bite their nails off in anticipation of the final matches!
Servers
Crossfire will not be supplying servers, you will have to search for a suitable server together with your opponent.

Conflicts
In the case of a conflict between two players it will dealt with subjectively by the tournament admin. All three participants will join a private IRC channel and discuss the problem at hand.

No one likes a cheater, and I hope that no one in this cup is stupid enough to use cheats or other external programs that modify the gameplay. In case that you are caught cheating you will be expelled from the cup and denied access to future cups in the Warsow scene (aside from being stamped a cheater for the rest of your gaming career).
