ZOWIE 16 Cup: Brackets

Originally posted at: http://www.teamfortress.tv/31381/zowie-16-cup-brackets

With 4 days until the ZOWIE 16 Cup is live, let's take a look at the teams! Brackets, team rosters and seeds can be found in the widget below. The rules and schedule are also in this post to remind teams before the event.

Rules

The format of the cup is single elimination, with each fixture as a best-of-three. The map pool is the same as ETF2L, with map elimination (rules below). The whitelist is the same as the ETF2L Season 23 whitelist. Any unstated rules should be assumed to mirror ETF2L's, with admins' decisions carrying the final word to preserve fair play and good sportsmanship. Any disputes can be relayed to admins through the tftv discord.

Substitute Rules: Teams must retain 4 of the same players throughout the tournament unless permission is granted by an admin in extenuating circumstances. Teams should report opponents they see abusing this rule through the teamfortresstv discord.

Map elimination will be as follows: teams begin by banning a map each, then picking a home map, then banning a final one each. The map that remains is the decider. The lower seed team bans first, with teams alternating.

Schedule

The cup will begin at 15CET, and teams should make contact with the opposition beforehand to arrange map vetoes and servers.

RO16 - 15:00 CET
Quarter Final - 17:00 CET
Semi-Final - 19:15 CET
Final - 21:30 CET

Discord

Remember to be online on the tftv discord before your games should an admin wish to get in touch!
