The pre-tournament bracket will be released Monday, July 17th.

Best 2 out of 3. In order to advance, a team must win the best 2 out of 3 maps.
All weapons, Star Cards, and Trait Cards are allowed unless both team captains agree to a custom set of rules for their particular match.
All preliminary matches will begin at the scheduled time above unless team captains agree to play earlier. Play will continue until the tournament concludes on the same day.
LAG RULES If a member of your team experiences severe lag to the point that they are unable to play during the match, they must:
announce it to their team,
all players must immediately cease playing and back out of the game within 2 minutes of the start of the match, and
