How To Play: The bracket will be visible on the bracket page once the tournament has started. Your team and your opponents will join the same lobby (Squads). You will find your opponents and their Activision usernames on the Drop-In Gaming bracket. Once a team is ahead and the opposing team is all dead with no Gulags left, the winning team should back out. After each game, record your score on the Drop-In Gaming bracket. The team with the most kills at the end of the game will be the winner for that game. In order to move forward in that bracket you must beat your opponents in a best of 3 series.
Example: Team A has 10 kills and both players are alive. Team B has 9 kills and both players are dead. Team A is the winner of that game. The host should back the party out to the lobby. Going into the next game, Team A is up 1-0 in the series, and the kill count resets to 0-0 for Game 2.
Score Submissions: After each match is played in a best of 3 series, teams must submit scores. If a team wins 2 matches in the series, the winning team will move on in the bracket.
