We are going to use a new match mode for all arena-based competitions within the ESL TF2 section. This new mode is mostly common with the world-wide standard in Counterstrike and Counterstrike:Source.

Examples:


This new match mode makes the scores of each map more important. It is not only interesting if you won a map, it is more about how you won the map. You also need to play the second map properly because you can still lose a match after you won a map (see second example above).

A draw is possible (15:15) but will not happen very often. In the 3on3 Ladder and in groupstages it is no problem that a match results in a draw. In other competitions (e.g. cups) there will be a decidermap given in advance.

It is important that the result is properly entered according to the scoreboard and not with 1 and 0 like in the 6on6 League!
