Map schedule

• Round of Two Hundred Fifty-Six: 1. Upward 2. Gravelpit 3. Viaduct
• Round of One Hundred Twenty-Eight: 1. Badwater 2. Steel 3. Viaduct
• Round of Sixty-Four: 1. Steel 2. Goldrush 3. Viaduct
• Round of Thirty-Two: 1. Gravelpit 2. Upward 3. Viaduct
• Round of Sixteen: 1. Steel 2. Goldrush 3. Viaduct
• Quarter Final: 1. Gravelpit 2. Badwater 3. Viaduct
• Semi Final: Both teams pick one map, possible Decider Map by Map Elimination Mode
• Final: Both teams pick one map, possible Decider Map by Map Elimination Mode

If both teams win one map a 3rd decider maps has to be played. Remember that in the Cup Stage a map can not end in a draw!

• On cp_gravelpit play Best of Three.
• koth_viaduct is played as Best of Five ( = mp_winlimit 3) and without timelimit.
• If you play a 5 CP map in the finals or in the semi-finals, play a golden cap round of 10 minutes in case of a draw. The first team to cap all 5 points or the team that holds the middle at the end of the timelimit wins the map.

On Attack/Defense maps like gravelpit or Upward you need to capture the screen saying e.g. “BLU wins!” like in this example. In case of a decider round, add the screenshot of the golden cap to the match report.
