The first server is loacted in Germany, and being hosted by a the German clan called Death-Arena. Killcam will NOT be on, which requires every player to record during their play. There will be a CVAR-list which is made for anti tweaks and cheats, which might kick you for " snaps" or so. Just change it back if that would occure. RCON will be given to referees and the Management.

We will have another two servers up and running at the same time. One is located in the United Kingdom and one in Poland. Both servers will be modded as the first one. The Ping will varies from player to player, but hopefully it will be about 40-50 depending on Your location.

But, we're not finished with the modding on the last two, only the first one is ready for playing on. Hope you guys like it, and we're hoping forward to make the Championship successfull!

We as a community have spoke about how we could run this cup as we have far greater teams apply then we first thought. We have came up with the idea of a group stage what leads into a higher bracket/lower bracket knockout system.

How Does The Group Stages Work?
Well the group stages will start when all sign-ups are closed and when we have sorted all groups out. There will be 4 Groups and there will be 5 teams in each group. The top 4 teams in each group will proceed to the knockout stages. The others will be knockout and there journey through the cup comes to a close.

How Does The Knockout System Work?
The knockout system will start once groups stages has ended. There will be 16 remaining teams to play in the knockout stages. The knockout stages works as the following.

- First to 21 wins the match. Please play a few extra rounds even if you win incase you lose rounds for any glitching/bug incidents.
- In the case of a tie, elimination will come into effect if the score is tied at the end of the game. Each clan will eliminate 1 map each in turn until a final map is left which will be played first to 11. Please take note of the order of the last few maps since if the game was to be tied again after a third map, teams will have to play the last map to be eliminated from beforehand. If tied again, play the second last eliminated map and so on. Maps that have been played during the match are automatically eliminated.
- REMEMBER, If you lose once, you are still in the competition! You will enter the lower bracket with an opportunity to still win the cup. 2 losses = elimination
- For the GRAND FINAL, If LB winners get upto 21 first, a third map will be played through elimination from a map list where first to 11 win the cup! If UB winners get upto 21 first or ties 20-20, there is no need for a third map an they will be the cup winners!

We hope you take the time to read through these new updates carefully and analyze how the group/knockout system works.
