All matches of the first (qualifying) stage consist of a maximum of 5 fights. The winner of the match is the team that first wins 3 times. If none of the teams managed to win 3 battles in the match, victory in the match is awarded to the team that won the greater total number of battles.

In the event of a draw in a particular match of the 1/8 stage, quarter-finals and semi-finals (final stage), a replay of the entire match is scheduled on the “Steppe” map.
In the event of a tie in the number of victories in the final match or show match, a tiebreaker is held to determine the winner of the match.
If a winner is not established in a tiebreaker match (the last piece of equipment of both teams is destroyed at the same time), the tiebreaker match is replayed.

Maps for the semi-finals, finals and show matches are determined by the team captains deleting the cards one by one. Which captain crosses out and chooses a card first is determined by tossing a coin. The match referee tosses a coin. Teams cross off one card, once each.

Scheme for determining the order of the main cards of the meeting within the semi-final and show match against the winner of the EU cluster:

Team A is the winner of the toss (crosses out the seventh card).
Team B is the loser of the toss (crosses out the eighth card).

Scheme for determining the order of the main cards of the meeting within the finals:

Team A is the winner of the toss (crosses out the first card).
Team B is the loser of the toss (crosses out the second card).
Team A is the winner of the toss (crosses out the third card).
Team B is the loser of the toss (crosses out the fourth card).
Team A is the winner of the toss (crosses out the fifth card).
Team B is the loser of the toss (crosses out the sixth card).
Team B chooses a map for the ninth battle, Team A chooses to respawn on this map.
Team A chooses a map for the eighth battle, Team B chooses to respawn on this map.
Team B chooses a map for the seventh battle, Team A chooses to respawn on this map.
Team A chooses a map for the sixth battle, Team B chooses to respawn on this map.
Team B chooses a map for the fifth battle, Team A chooses to respawn on this map.
Team A chooses a map for the fourth battle, Team B chooses to respawn on this map.
Team B chooses a map for the third battle, Team A chooses to respawn on this map.
Team A chooses a map for the second battle, Team B chooses to respawn on this map.
Team B chooses to spawn on the remaining map, and that map is played first.

Teams that have qualified for the final stage of the Tournament must provide the Tournament Organizers with a team logo for broadcast. The logo size must be a minimum of 800 × 800 pixels, or the logo must be provided in vector format.

The logo must be sent within 48 hours after the team reaches the final stage of the tournament.

If a team does not send a logo to the Organizers, the Tournament Organizers reserve the right to choose a logo for the team independently.

The procedure for organizing the semi-final and final matches:

The date and time of the match are indicated in the schedule on the Tournament page.
The organization and refereeing of the match is carried out by the match referee appointed by the Tournament Organizer.
At least 30 minutes before the start of the match, players receive invitations to the training room. All match participants are required to enter the match training room at least 20 minutes before the start. Once the team captains enter the training room, regardless of whether the rest of the team has entered, card selection occurs. Then the judge places the required card in the training room and expects a list of equipment for the battle from the captains.
Within 3 minutes, the list of equipment is sent to the judge in a private channel in the game client. After confirmation from the judge that the lineups have been received from both teams, the equipment is displayed within 2 minutes and the readiness of the teams is confirmed.
The match referee makes decisions in accordance with the provisions of these Regulations and brings them to the attention of the teams. In situations not described in these Regulations, the judge has the right to resolve the situation at his own discretion.
The training room is created by the match referee.
The break between fights in a match should not exceed 2 minutes. The break in the match between maps should not exceed 3 minutes. The break between the last map and the tiebreaker should not exceed 2 minutes. The duration of the break between fights can be increased by the decision of the match referee.
If one or more players of one of the teams are not ready within the specified break between battles, the team receives a technical defeat in the battle.
In the event that a player or players of both teams are not ready at the specified break, both teams will be awarded a forfeit in the battle.
In the event of a technical defeat, the opposing team is credited with a victory within the framework of this battle. If both teams receive a technical defeat, each team receives victory points.
The signal to start the fight is given by the match referee via chat in the training room.
The referee records the result of the match and brings it to the attention of the teams.

Tiebreaker

If the score on the cards between the teams in the match is equal, the winner of the match will be revealed in a tiebreaker - one battle in the “Attack/Defense” mode.

The tiebreaker system is used only when necessary to determine the winner if both teams do not score enough points to win on the maps of all online stages.

The host team of the tiebreaker is the team that wins the fastest match.

If none of the teams achieves the fastest victory in the match (the match ends with a score of 0:0), the home team is determined randomly.

The host team chooses to respawn on the tiebreaker map.

The round (one battle) of the tiebreaker takes place in accordance with the standard rules of the “Attack/Defense” mode (defense of one team and attack of the other). Victory for the team is also awarded according to standard rules.

The winner of a fight held using the tiebreaker system is considered the winner of the match.

The tiebreaker system in the group stage is used only if it is necessary to determine the winner in the event of a draw at the end of the match between teams claiming to qualify for the final stage.

The tiebreaker is held on the “Cliff” map.
