How To Play: Your team and your opponents will join the same lobby and create a custom game. In the custom game the host will select Search and Destroy; CDL S&D.
Game Hosting: All matches are best 2 of 3. Whoever created the match will host game 1. Opposing team will host game 2. If teams are tied after 2 games, a final game 3 will be played. The team with the greatest margin of victory will host game 3. (Example, Team A wins 6-3, Team B wins 6-0, Team B would host the final game.)
Losers Bracket: Losers bracket will be a best of 1 game. The host will be determined on whoever had a closer game using the rules above. (Example: Team A lost 6-3, Team B lost 6-2, Team A would host)
Finals: The team that wins through the winners bracket will only need to win best 2 out of 3. The team coming from the losers bracket to play in the finals, needs to win 2 out of 3 twice in order to be the champion.
