Final Matches are played Best of 3 Maps (Maps are played as 1 half only)

• Map 1: Home Team picks Map 1, Visiting Team picks starting color on Map 1, Map is played on Home team's server.
• Map 2: Visiting Team picks Map 2, Home Team picks starting color on Map 2, Map is played on Visiting team's server.
• Map 3: If a Tiebreaker is needed, Teams will play Koth_pro_viaduct_rc4 and Home Team picks starting color, Map is played on Home team's server.

1. KOTH Maps - Played to 3 wins. This map type cannot be tied.
2. CP Maps - Played to 4 wins or highest score after 30 minutes.­­This map type can be tied after 30 minutes. If this occurs then you MUST play 1 additional Over Time round to determine the winner of the map. Whichever team caps all the points first in the OT round will be declared the winner of that map. ­If neither team manages to capture all points during the first OT round, a second special OT round is to be played. In this round, whichever team caps the center CP first wins the game. Note: This ONLY occurs if a 2nd OT round is actually needed.
3. Payload and Attack/Defend Maps - Played as­1 half (i.e. each team attacks and defends once).­ These map types cannot be tied.

• Optional: Teams may agree to play Payload/AD like a normal match instead of just 1 half, but both must post their agreement in match comms prior to match.
• Only maps played in regular season or playoffs of the current Season can be picked.

Map choices must be made and posted to the Match Comms by 11:59 PM (your local time zone)­ on Saturday December 13th.

If one team does not make a map choice then pl_badwater­ is to be played as their pick.

Teams can still agree on map changes after Saturday, but they must be mutually agreed upon and posted in the match comms.

Scoring:

• Each map win counts as 1 point
• Possible scores are: 2-1 or 2-0
• Please post the map list you played and the scores per map in the Match Writeup box when you submit the scores.
• Matches with Match Comms and Match Writeup with detailed map scores (and maps played) will not be accepted!
