Information

All participants (provinces) for Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike:Source have been divided into 4 groups. Each group counts six provinces. At the end of the group stage, the two top ranked teams of each group will qualify for the next stage of this cup: The play-off stage. Meaning we should see for each game eight teams in the elimination bracket. The elimination bracket will be a direct elimination (Survival of the fittest). The final match and the consolation final will be a best of three match.

Each Team-captain or Team-manager has to write a statement for his or her match in the BPC 2009. This match statement has to be posted at least 12 hours but no more than 7 days before a match. This statement has to be written and saved as a match pre-report (not as a comment in the match). The statement has to be in an adequate quality and should contain at least 2 full sentences. Should the statement be missing, not be of an adequate quality or too short the BPC 2009 administration can give one minor penalty.

All matches are scheduled as a challenged match, so the teams can schedule their own match date and time, but the match date needs to be in the match weeks that are given below. If you can't play in the assigned matchweek; you'll have to use a wildcard not later then two hours before match time. To reschedule this needs to be requested in a Protest function of the match. Notice! you'll only get 1 wildcard for the groupstages

So the teams can make their own matchdates.
