WGLNA - Gold League Season 4 Qualifier 2

Captain_Judo: The WGLNA Gold League is unlike any of our other tournaments. Please review all guidelines below.   General Rules One team advances to the WGLNA Gold League's Season 4 from Qualifier 1.  Brackets are randomly seeded. All matches follow a best-of-five format. In the event of a draw, teams continue in the map pool until a winner is decided or chosen maps are exhausted.  If all 5 maps are exhausted, the match goes to a Tie-Breaker Assault. Teams may choose different tanks, follow the tank selection rules.   Vehicle Limit: Tier VIII Tier points: 42 tier points (-1 for each player less than 7) Teams may choose to play without a full roster of 7 players. Teams cannot play with less than 5 players. Matches must play at designated times.   MAP SELECTION Teams will play a best-of-five format. Please refer to the Tie-Breaker Assault rules if there is no winner after five battles. Map picking begins with a coin toss by the tournament admin. The winner of the coin toss (Team A) picks the side they would like to start on for the Map of the Day. Team A may defer choice of side on Map of the Day to their opponent in favor of first map pick. The loser (Team B) of the coin toss will then initiate the map picking process. All maps are selected before match initiation. Map/Side picking is as follows: Team A picks side on Map of the Day or defers to their opponent(B). In the case of a deferral, A will pick the map for the next battle.
If A defers map side then continue the series with A and B swapped.
Team B picks 1st map or defers to their opponent(A) and then B will pick side.
Team A picks 2nd map or defers to their opponent(B) and then A will pick side.
Team B picks 3rd map or defers to their opponent(A) and then B will pick side.
Team A picks 4th map or defers to their opponent(B) and then A will pick side. Battle order is: Map of the Day(Side Team A) Team B map or defer Team A map or defer Team B map or defer Team A map or defer   The Map of the Day is predetermined for that day of league play.

The winner of Tie-Breaker Assault advances in the bracket. The Tie-Breaker Assault map will take place on Karelia. Side (determining which team defends or attacks) is determined by whichever team inflicts the most damage after five rounds. The team inflicting the most damage may defer this decision to the other team. The format remains 7x42 with Tier VIII tanks being the greatest tier allowed. The “defending” team wins if the “attacking” team cannot capture the “defending” team’s cap. The “attacking” team wins if the “attacking” team destroys all the “defending” team’s tanks or captures the “defending” team’s cap.   TANK SELECTION Non-broadcasted Matches: The team selecting the side picks the first two tanks. The other team then picks two tanks. This continues until everyone has picked their tank. Tank selection is then permanent and gameplay commences.   Broadcasted Matches: Tank selection is under a 60 second countdown. The admin commences the battle after the 60 second countdown.
