If a player doesn't show up for a match within 15 minutes, they will be given a default loss and his enemy will advance forward. After each match, players should inform referees about their match result.

Matches can be played on any European server. Ping difference shouldn't be higher than 20ms. If that is the case then players can refuse to play on a server. If players can't find a server by themselves, they should ask a referee what to do. Server can be changed during the match, different maps might be played on different servers. The match can be restarted in case one player got dropped from the server before the timer reached 02:00 - but only if his opponent doesn't have problems with it.

Any side software is forbidden, and if somebody is using it they will be disqualified and banned. Every player should record all the demos and send it to referees if needed. If a player can't provide a demo, game can be replayed or player might be disqualified.

None of the directly invited players are able to take part in any of the qualifiers.
