How to play custom maps

Key Rules

Replays: Replays must be uploaded to the match page (not zipped) immediately after the match! You will receive penalty points for missing replays starting at the quarter finals!
Coverage: See the streams page for details
Server / Country Restriction: All players are allowed to play, but the matches will be played on the European Battle.net with a European Host.
Rank Restriction: The aim of the Skill Cups are to provide a fair and fun battleground for players to compete against other players at their skill level. Therefore the following restrictions are applied:

- Battle.net 1v1 rank must match the cup

Admins may make other decisions based on number of matches played in a game mode, and recent activity, etc to ensure a fairer tournament.

Match format

Best of 1 until the last three rounds (Double Elimination) or Quarter Finals (Single Elimination), then Best of 3.

The first map is always fixed. In Best of three and Best of five the loser picks the next map. The same map cannot be played twice in a match.

Disconnects

If there is a disconnect in the first 4 minutes of the game and there has been no contact between players, then the game will be restarted.

If the problem occurs frequently then an admin should be contacted.

If a game is restarted players must choose the same races.
