RULES and ORGANIZATION

Participants: Ensure you understand the rules of the 1vs1 League.

General

• Tournament matches must be played on official 1vs1 servers only.
• Tournament matches must be announced using the /ovso match contest command.
• Regarding map/server selection: If the two players cannot reach an agreement, the default choice will be the classic Ducati style.
• All championship games will also count towards the regular 1vs1 monthly trophy.
• The servers will automatically send the results to the league site, so there's no need to report them manually.
• Questions or issues related to the contest can be directed to kierra.

Preliminary round

• Groups are randomly arranged, with a slight touch of subjectivity added by the contest organizers.
• Every player competes in two matches against each opponent within their group.
• Each victory earns 3 points, while each defeat grants 1 point.
• If players are unable to schedule a match, they will not receive any points.
• The two players with the highest scores in each group will advance to the 8th-finals.
• In the event of a tie, the final ranking will be determined based on the results of matches between the tied players.
• If the number of matches won is still the same, the difference between kills and deaths in those matches will be used to decide the final order.

Final rounds

The rules for the final rounds are as follows:

• Matches will be played as best-of-five.
• The player who wins three matches advances to the next round.
• If players cannot arrange a match, the contest organizers will set the match time.
• If both players fail to appear at the scheduled time, the player with the highest zelo will advance to the next round.
• If one player does not show up, they forfeit the match.
• If a player "disappears" during the game, they must provide a valid excuse (such as a power outage, lightning, earthquake, hurricane, etc.); otherwise, the opponent will win by forfeit.
