Good afternoon everyone. Who's ready for Week 3 of the playoffs?  I know I sure am. We have a fantastical map this week. Yes it's the tried and true darling of the 6s world cp_granary! You're going to need to polish off that metagame on this map. Don't forget to control the crates! Schedules will be up shortly, so check back soon!

Attention: NA Platinum Teams - Winners and Losers from Round 1 will play on Wednesday. Losers from the Round 2 Winner bracket will play again on Saturday. Also, please please please PLEASE turn in your scores in a timely manner....please! It's very important that we keep this train a rollin'.

Attention: All Other Divisions - Winners from Round 1 will play on Wednesday. Please have these matches submitted by Friday April 12th @ 11:59pm EST.

REMINDER: Pay Attention to the Schedule page and to your Team Leader Match List page. Team leaders must be very prompt with their communications during playoffs. Make sure you are utilizing your Match Comm panel for every match. Feel free to coordinate with the opposing team leader via steam as well. Just make sure that every communication regarding the scheduling of the match and the server it will be played on is documented in the match comm panel!!!

For this weeks map...
Config: ugc_6v_standard.cfg
Standard CP Map: The winning team is the first to score 5 TOTAL round wins or the highest score after two halves of up to 30 min each (whichever comes first).
The 1st half will end when one team scores 4 round wins or the time limit of 30 mins is reached (whichever comes first).
The 2nd half will end when a team scores the 5th TOTAL round win, when the 30 min time limit is reached or when the round limit score (4) is reached (whichever comes first).
Overtime: If after 2 rounds both teams are tied then a 3rd round is to be played. The winning team is the first to score 1 round win.

Match results: Must be reported by the winning team leader, using his primary team leader login account. Total Score can be no higher than 5, each round score can be no higher than 4.
