§ 9a Structure of the League:

First of all the Background of the Cup:

1) First there will be a Groupstage
2) After Groupstage there will be Playoffs with Final and War for Place 3.

Groupstage:

- How many and how big the Groups will be, depends on how many Teams we get. If we get for example 16 Teams we can make 4 Groups a 4 Teams. Then the best two would come in the Playoffs.

Playoffs:

- Depending on the Groupstage the Teams will fight their next Enemy in a KO-System. The winner comes in next Round.
- At the End there will be a Final-War & War for Place 3.

________________________________________
§ 9b Rating for wars in Groupstage:
Per matchday 2 maps are played – 2 rounds on each map (once axis and once allied). The team that wins both rounds earns 2 points. That means the max. Points for a day are 4 Points. If each team wins one round, the team with the most of the tickets (on a map) earns 2 points, the other team 1 point. If there is a ticket-draw after 2 rounds, each team earns 1 point. Both teams should make screenshots of the score of every round.

________________________________________
§ 9c Evaluation of a war:

WARs		Runden		Tickets	Punkte
1	1 / 0 / 0	4	4 / 0 / 0	400 : 10	4
2.		4.		3.	1.

This is how the table is evaluated:
1. Points
2. won WARs
3. own tickets
4. won rounds

________________________________________

§ 9d Rating for Wars in Playoffs:

In The Playoffs the Admins will set the Maps for each Round. There will be played one Map in each war. For each round you win, you can get 1 Point. If both Teams won one Round, the Team with the most Tickets chooses the side they want to play a third round. The Team which wins this third round, comes in the next Playoff-Round.

________________________________________

§ 9e Rating for the Final and War for Place 3:

In Final both Teams choose again one Map. So two Maps will be played. The count of Points is the same as announced for the Groupstage ( § 9b ). If there is a tie after both Maps the Team wins, which has the most Tickets after both Maps.

________________________________________
§ 10 Server Crash
If a server should crash during a war, the following rules have to be obeyed:
If 75% or more of the matchtime (15 minutes) is over, the game will be over (necessary are screenshots with the points).
If less than 15 minutes have been played, the round will be restarted. Before a server crashes there will be connection problems, so every team should be able to make screenshots!

________________________________________
§ 11 Violation of rules:
If your clan violates the rules or doesn’t keep the period of time to play a match (14 days), the admins can give you penalty points.

________________________________________
§ 12 Choice of server:
You can play one map on each server of (if both clans agree) both maps on one server.

If you don't want to play on the other clans server, please contact the other team at least 3 days before the match starts and try to settle things - if needed you can have one of the following "neutral" servers.

For the Playoff-Rounds you can try to get neutral-Server, or playing one Round on each Server. The Team with less Tickets can choose Server for third Round.

§ 13 Protests:
If there are a lot of violations during a match, the affected team has the right to abort the match, but they need evidence in form of screenshots, server logs or video clips that show or prove the violations! Before leaving the server please ask the clan/player to stop the violations.

Update: In future only leaders, orgas and admins are allowed to write postings in a protest-thread. Any other postings will be deleted immediately (due to too much spam and flaming).
