SUMMER DREAMHACK Tournament

Attention, pilots! We invite you to participate in the summer tournament from our friends — “SUMMER DREAMHACK”!

Matchmaking
Tournament Administrator creates a fake lobby in the “Custom battle” mode in 20-25 minutes before the match starts, and then sends invitations to the captains of the teams participating in a particular round.

In the created lobby, team captains do the following steps:

Ban one map with a game mode in the right queue order;
Pick one map with a game mode in the right queue order;
Ban ships in order of priority.

After completing the steps above, the Tournament Administrator creates a lobby in the “Custom battle” mode with the map and mode picked by the captain, and invites teams.

The system described above works in parallel: during the ban-picks of the teams of the first tournament round, another Administrator already sends custom battle invitations to the teams of the second round, etc.

The minimum number of teams for the tournament is 8.
