After some rigorous "strawpolling" some decisions have been made on when, what and some hows for a little Crossfire CounterStrike One Day Cup! This post will inform anyone interested about the general details of the cup and will future a signups list for both signed in pre-made teams, uncompleted pre-made teams and individual signsup.

Date and times:
Sunday 15th February 2015
Check-in: 13.00 - 13.30 (CET)

Format, mappool, map selection and servers:
The cup will be played in 5on5 BO3 MR15+OTMR3(10.000 start money). Maps and sides are decided by this system:
1. A coin toss is done, the winner of the coin toss decides who VETO's first. (first veto = second map pick)
2. Team X removes one map.
3. Team Y removes two maps.
4. Team X removes one map.
5. Team Y picks first map, Team X picks side.
6. Team X picks second map, Team Y picks side.
7. Third map is the remaining map, sides are decided by a knife fight.

FRAGWISE.EU will be providing game servers for the cup. These will be hosted in the Netherlands. Speaking from my own experience with them, as I've had a CS:GO server from them for a couple of months now, I can say their servers and service are great! So if you are in need of a server I can personally recommend them.


Basic ruleset:

• A minimum of 3/5(4/6, 5/7 etc) players on the roster need a CF account of one year or older. A signup not meeting this will be dismissed completely, no exceptions made. This rule also counts for each match, of the 5 players on the server at least 3 need to meet the CF account requirement! Aiming for 8 teams for this first cup.
  
• Players with a VAC-Ban after the 21st August 2012(release date of CS:GO) will not be allowed to play. If a team is found playing with a member that has said VAC-Ban, the team will be removed resulting in a forfeit win for the other team. This also applies if a player with said VAC-Ban is playing on a "smurf" account.
  
• The ESL 5on5 config is going to be used.
  
• Boosting is allowed, if a team feels a boost is overly unfair for a certain reason they can contact an admin and he will look at each case individual. Some reasons for this can be a boost causing bugs/exploits/transparent walls.
  
• During any knife fight, all types of Utility items(flashbang, grenades, smokes, decoys) are forbidden. If a team is doing damage by shooting pistols, they receive a forfeit loss for that knife fight.
  
• Ringers or mercs are allowed. However must have a CF account of one year or older, meet the VAC-Ban requirement and has not played for another team in the cup.
  
• There will be a custom private steam group that captains/schedulers/representative have to join. Admins will provide server IP's from there and the cointoss results will be announced there too.
  
• For any problems or conflicts outside of these rules, the ESL 5on5 ruleset will be a guideline. Admins have right to make final decisions if necessary.

How to signup:
You sign your team up by sending me a PM. The PM has to include: teamname, player names, player nationality, player CF account links, player steam account links and please highlight who your captain/scheduler/representative is so that I can invite them to the steam group. If you sign up as an individual, send me the same info. Teams are allowed to add extra players to their roster after the initial signup, however they must meet the requirements and an admin must be notified to verify if the player is allowed. I will answer questions on Steam, but a signup is not entered until you send me a PM containing all the required information! Please do not sign up if you are not 100% sure your team and players are available during tournament days. The tournament stretches over a full afternoon and evening, please keep this in mind!

That concludes most of the information you need, if there are questions please feel free to reply here, send me a PM or add me on steam. Also, if anyone would like to help me out with being a referee/admin, feel free to message me too.
