3.0 Scoring/Reporting a match

3.1 Before the Cup Online starts, all representatives must join official CoE Playstation Network text chat that will be created by the host.

3.2 All results must be reported immediately after the match was played.

3.2 In Cup Online matches the winner is the team who takes the match in "Best of 1 - win 1 map".
Basically the match consists of 1 randomly generated map given by the host prior to the start of the event. Each team playing 1 round as the Americans and 1 round as the Russians. At the end of a map, ticket counts are compared and the team with higher ticket count wins the match.

In case there is a tie in ticket count, the map must be replayed.

3.3 In playoffs matches the winner is the team who takes the match in "Best of 3 - Win 2 maps". So basically a match consist of 3 maps. One map consists of each team playing 1 round as the Americans and 1 round as the Russians. First team to win two maps wins the match. At the end of a map, tricket counts are compared and the team with higher ticket count wins that map. Points from each map do not carry over to next maps. Each map starts out 0-0. Example: Team A wins as the Americans and Russians and Team B does not win at all, Team A wins that map 2-0.

In case there is a tie in ticket count, neither of the teams will receive a win or loss on that map. They carry onto the next map and in case neither of the teams has won two maps then the tied map must be replayed.

3.4 Playoffs matches must be reported immidiately on official CoE platoon feed. Either winner or loser can report the match, all results must be confirmed by both Teams.

3.5 In case submitted scores are in doubt, proof of the ticket count must be provided.

3.6 Scoring values for Cup Online matches:

First place 50 points
Second place 30 points
Third place 20 points
Semi finals 15 points
3'rd Round 10 points
2'nd Round 5 points
1'st Round 2 point

3. 5 The only way to rank your team is to acquire points throughout the Cup Online events. Once the league matches are over, top 4 teams will have their scores locked and will carry over to Single Elimination brackets (playoffs).
In a scenario that teams have identical scores. Team that won more matches in total between the two teams will be considered 'higher ranked'.
In case, higher ranked Team cannot be determined. Please contact our Administration.

4.0 Teams, matches and roster

4.1 You may rotate any member of your roster for play at any time of any round.

4.2 You may use any player for your initial roster (the one you joined the tournament with). New players may participate under one condition and it is that the new player has been reported to CoE Administration as a part of your Team at least 1 day before Cup Online / Playoffs match is to take place. You can do that on the official platoon feed or via e-mail (miquinei@wp.pl)

4.3 It is the responsibility of both teams to verify eligibility of all players in the match prior to starting a new round. Playing with an ineligible player will cause your team to forfeit that map of play.

4.4 If you identify the other team has an ineligible player on their team, simply ask them to replace the player with one that is eligible. If they can not replace the player, the map will be a forfeit against their team unless both teams agree to allow the ineligible player to play.

4.5 Teams may only play their matches during Cup Online event.

4.6 In a scenario that opposing team doesn't show up at scheduled time and server, the team must give the other team 15 minutes to show and must try to contact the leaders. If the missing team still doesn't show, forfeit request must be submitted as soon as possible with proof of no show on the Official platoon page. You are also require to inform the host for that specific Cup Online.

4.7 In an event that player/a group of players disconnects from the game at the beginning of the round before the first kill is made, the round must be restarted if requested by any of the teams.

4.8 In case a player disconnects mid-match, it's teams responsibility to replace him. There will be no replaying of any round because player/group of players disconnected from the game. The same applied in case of lag or hardware crash.

4.9 In a scenario that PSN is down or undergoing maintenance, your match will be moved to another date.

5.0 Match can only be started if both teams clearly stated that they're ready.

5.1 If on a privately owned server a player not intended to be in the game joins, the admin must remove him immediately once determining they should not be in the game. It is recommended that both team leaders are in a PSN text chat so they can quickly notify an admin to remove the player. It would be also recommended to give Admin rights to a leader of opposing team for quicker reaction.
In case server Admin won't remove unwanted player from the server within 1 minute after being notified, map will be forfeited in favour of the "away team". This rule however, does not apply if Admin rights were given to the leader of away team. Proof will need to be provided if you decide to submit Admin abuse forfeit request.

5.2 In case a player was kicked/banned from the server during the match and was not asked for removal. The round will be forfeited in favour of the away team.

5.3 Players may only compete in ONE Team.

6.0 Hosting and map picking during playoffs.
The team with lower score is hosting the first map/picks map number 1
The team with higher score is hosting the second map/picks map numer 2
The team with higher score is hosting the third map / map number 3 will be randomly generated prior to the playoffs event.

6.1 During Cup Online, higher ranked Team will be hosting the map.

7.0 Be sure to understand the difference between each of the following key terms:

Map: In each match there are 3 maps. The term 'map' refers to 1 of the 3 maps.

Match: A match is the entire game to be played against another team. It includes the 3 maps and all of the rounds.

Round: When playing on a map, a round is when a team is playing as either the Attackers or Defenders, or Americans or Russians. Since teams play as both sides on each map there are two rounds per map.
