Make sure at least four people in your team have a QL account name added. Premium/Pro accounts do not count -- if your account is added only as Premium/Pro you have to add it again, as standard account.

Each team must have at least one player in #esl.quakelive.
If you don't find your opponent in #esl.quakelive, fire up the match chat:
-- "Matches" in the bottom right menu
-- Click on the match. The Chat will open.
If you can't reach your opponent within 15 minutes, contact an admin to get a def win.

Pummel Pick Pick. Loser of the pummel fight picks the first map.
Maps can not be played twice in a match.
Decider: Team with lower frag difference eliminates a map. The other team (with the higher frag difference) picks a map from the remaining two maps.

After each map, you have to fire up the match page:
-- Bottom right menu, "Matches"
-- Match settings of the match you just played
-- Choose the map you chose on the server
-- Enter / Accept the results and upload screenshots.
-- If the opponent does not accept the score, query an admin.

Every player needs to save demo and screenshot of each map (cg_autoaction 3).
Demos can be requested 30 minutes after the match. Missing demos will result in a def loss. Cheat suspicion will be taken care of _after_ the cup (we can not pause the whole cup for one suspicion). Cheaters (and their teams) will be banned from the cup.
