Due to complaints about the rule number 8 of the cup, it has been changed to the following:

8) It is up to the teams to decide on which server the match is going to be played. If there is not an agreement, the map selected by the Non-European team will be played on an European server and vice-versa. If it occurs that there is a tie after 2 maps, the overtime map is going to be played on the server of the team who won so far more rounds than the enemy. If both teams have won the same amount of rounds the overtime map is going to be played on an official tournament server. You may ask the cup staff to prepare an official cup server for the match. The server is located in Central Europe, with low pings and minor lags.


A ladder ranking system has been developed by myself. It yet needs to be implemented on the website. The point distribution algorythm is not to be released publicly. All I can say about it is, it favours teams on the bottom half of the standings. The top teams will always have someone breathing down their neck. This system makes sure the bottom teams are motivated to play more matches because they can go up the standings pretty fast. It calculates your current position on the standings and the enemy position on the standings + fixed points per win. It is based on the ELO ranking system but modified for our ladder.

What about repairing the ladder system, so the 'challenge' button works ...
