Winning the cup will be rewarded. Starting prize pool is €100. Players in the winning team will get €25 each. However the prizepool is always open for donations, so by the end of the cup the reward might be bigger and 2nd/3rd place might also get smaller rewards. If you are willing to donate,

- All players must record demos and screenshots of the match and keep them until at least one month after the end of the cup
- The admins may ask any player to submit demos at any time during the cup
- It is forbidden to listen to shoutcasts/streamings of your own games during the match
- This cup is designed for EU-based players, don't signup if you are from a different region, all matches will be played on Germany-based servers
- If your team has a warper, you have to substitute them. If there is no substitute available, you will be given a default loss
- If a substitute is needed, you are supposed to check the sublist for all signed up players and get a player that is maximum 2.0 rating higher than the subbed player
- All captains after the checkin is closed, must join a voice channel with admin within 15 minutes, to pick his teammates. Failing to do so will result in subbing the chosen captain with another highest rated player
- Map picking: Cointoss followed by dropdrop-pickpick-dropdrop starting with loser, examples:
bo1: Cointoss loser drops first, teams drop until there's ONE map left
bo3: Cointoss loser drops first, teams drop until there's FIVE maps left, loser picks first, if tie breaker needed, loser drops first
bo5: Cointoss loser drops first, teams drop until there's FIVE maps left, loser picks first
