Rules

game version: 1.16.1
game speed: fastest
changing your race during countdown is allowed
admins cannot be rejected to observe the chosen game
if disconnect occurs within 2 minutes after start = rematch, otherwise follow admins decision
leaving the game/disconnection from the game deliberately in order to reach for rematch may lead to win by forfeit for your opponent if admins find out that you have done so due to running of the game (for instance, your opponent makes an successful early game move that brings you disadvantage or your attempt to rush your opponent failed, etc.)

not following admin's decission may lead to an immediate loss by forfeit

All the players are seeded into 16 groups according to the current CMSP Rankings (does not apply for foreign players - they are divided into groups randomly). Unlike the former tournaments, the players in each group do not play each other but there are faster and more complex system that will resolve upon the best 4 players from each group to be qualified for play-offs - the best two players go to Winner Brackets and the rest to Losers Brackets. This new format of groups eliminates tied scores in the same group so the tournament is more fluent. The players seeded into Winner Brackets fall into LB after losing. Being defeated in LB ends your journey in the tournament at once.

Depends on number of participants. Less than 32 teams or equal, there would be play-offs immediately. More than 32 teams would be drawn into groups and only top 32 advance to play-offs. Admins are allowed to name the winner of the interrupted game if one of the opposing sides is in a great disadvantage.
