BO3 System 2.0

Up to now you recieved 1 point per map. Now the system will be changed, so that you will recieve 1 point per round. Each map will give you 2 points (2:0 or 1:1). In this way we will keep the BO3 system, but it will be optimized for SWBF2.

This change will be active starting from monday, 15th february!

A few examples for the results of 1 map:

Example - Map Result Round Team A vs Team B Round 1 WIN : - Round 2 WIN : - Result 2 : 0	OR	Example - Map Result Round Team A vs Team B Round 1 - : WIN Round 2 - : WIN Result 0 : 2
OR		OR
Example - Map Result Round Team A vs Team B Round 1 WIN : - Round 2 - : WIN Result 1 : 1	OR	Example - Map Result Round Team A vs Team B Round 1 - : WIN Round 2 WIN : - Result 1 : 1

As you can see it's always 1:0 or 0:1 per round / 2:0, 0:2 or 1:1 per map. It's not important how much tickets you have left. If you should win a round you will get 1 point.

3rd Map
Because it's still BO3, there will be a 3rd map of course. If the result after 2 finished maps should be a draw -> 2:2 (as you can see above each map can give you 2 points), a third map will be played.

This third and final map will be counted in a different way. On the first and second map you can get 1 point per round / 2 points per map. On the third map you can get only 1 point for the whole map.

You will play this map like every other map. At the end you will look at the tickets. The team that has more tickets left on this map, will get the point and win the match. Even if the ticket result would be 299:298 it's just 1:0. So the end result of this match would be 3:2 or 2:3.

There is only 1 example. If both teams got excactly the same tickt count on the map (for example 254:254) it will be counted as a draw (1:1). So the end result of this match would be 3:3.

Choosing of the 3rd map:
Each team (in 1on1 -> each player) will rotatinal delete a map of the mappool until only 1 map is left. This map will be played. In every match the team / player on the left side of the match-details page, will start to delete a map.

Mappools 2.0

The mappools have been updated and optimized too. As written in our last news, we splitted the mappools into 2 seperate mappools.

1.) general mappool
2.) 3rd map mappool

So we are able to create a general mappool for the 1st and 2nd map and another special mappool only for the 3rd map choice. In this way we can optimize the mappools in a better way.

Now we overworked all mappools to give you the optimal ESL SWBF2 mappools. Wich maps are in the actual mappools you can see, if you click on following links.

SWBF II Rules
1on1 Ladder:	Info & Details
2on2 Ladder:	Info & Details
5on5+ Ladder:	Info & Details
CTF 3on3+ Ladder:	Info & Details

In the 5on5+ ladder you will find 1 tanker map in the general mappool and 2 tanker maps in the 3rd map mappool.

Rules 2.0

Even the rules have been updated. For example the spawn invincibility of all ladders has been changed, in the 5on5+ ladder the tickets have been changed and the walkgbug has been forbidden in all ladders. Feel free to look at the rule changes in detail:


General:

		Walkbug: Definition: ''Walkbug'' is a bug, with that you can run ingame all the time without a break, so it gives you an advantage, because you're faster from point A to point B. For your opponent it looks, like you're glitching and lagging over the ground and it's hard to kill you then. Should a player be caught (by recording) using the walkbug during a match, this will be punished with 3 penalty points for the player and (in team ladders) 3 penalty points for the team.

1on1 Ladder:

		Server Settings: Spawn Invincibility:     2 sec

2on2 Ladder:

		Server Settings: Spawn Invincibility:     2 sec

CTF 3on3+ Ladder:

		Server Settings: Spawn Invincibility:     2 sec

5on5+ Ladder:

		Server Settings: Spawn Invincibility:     0 sec Tickets:     170/170 (server) -> 255/255 (ingame)
