Game Settings
Game Mode: Duel
Ruleset: XPM
Timelimit: 10 minutes
Frag Limit: None


The changes from standard XPM settings are:
If there is a tie after 10 minutes there will be an overtime of 2 minutes. A maximum of 5 overtimes can take place if there is still no winner, afterwards there is sudden death.

I removed the changed spawn settings from last week because they made games a lot more chaotic and luck-dependent than I thought. With this map pool it should not be a huge problem anyway.
See also elix-base.cfg and elix-duel.cfg in this repo.

Map Pool
Aerowalk, Fuse, Graphite, bloodrun_a3, Silent Siege, Stormkeep, Tuhma

I replaced quark_v4 from last week with bloodrun_a3.
Each duel cup, one map in the pool will be replaced by a fresh one.

Format
The format will be a 2-stage tournament with a group stage.

Groupstage
GSL Style Groups (Bo3) of 4 players.
Basically the group stage will be a mini-bracket with 4 players each. Top two will advance to playoffs.
See this image for how it works. Or click the bracket link and try to follow that.  


Playoffs
Single Elimination Bo3 with match for 3rd place.
The finals will be Bo5.

Prize Money
1st: 26€
2nd: 16€
3rd: 8€
I'm open to donations for more prize money.

Rules
I'm mostly trusting that people play fair here and won't publish a 200 page rule book. Nevertheless I want to make a few things clear:

Sign up in this thread or on IRC with any of the admins, then Check-In before the official start time. Late check-ins can not be considered.
Admins have the final say in any controversial decisions.

Disconnects
If a player disconnects or quits before 2:00 minutes have been played, the map will be restarted. Abuse of this will be punished with disqualification.
If more than 2:00 minutes have passed, the player that disconnected will lose the map by default.
If both players agree, the game can be restarted.


Time/Date
Check-In opens: Saturday, 11th of April 17:00 UTC (19:00 CEST)

Start: Saturday, 11th of April 17:00 UTC (19:00 CEST)
