star rules of play

  1. All matches (except the grand final) in the winner’s and loser’s brackets will be best of 3. Grand finals will be best of 5 with a one-map advantage to the winner of the winner’s bracket (the quake.tools template handles the map advantage).
  2. 10-minute time limit duel with a 100-frag limit
  3. We will have check-in via Discord. Please set your Challonge display name to your Discord username so we can make sure that everyone is in the CoQ server.
  4. When the tournament starts, one of you will need to invite the other to a party and set up a lobby. Follow the draft that you made in quake.tools and use the ping rules in the section below, if necessary. Keep an eye on the bracket and make sure to connect with your opponent when you’re matched with them.
  5. The first ban in the draft will go to the higher seed or the player coming from the upper bracket.
