CAP Relegations
Here we first of all want to mention that it is not sure yet, if there will be another CAP season that looks like the current one. Fact is that i (=joey) will leave after this season, and at the moment it looks like noone will take the project CAP 10 and organises a season like that one. So in the end the question is if somebody will come and take the CAP in his hands. But we still decided to do Relegations now, cause then everything would be prepared for a CAP 10 season that is based on the CAP 9.
Basic information about all Relegation Cups
The Relegations will exactly look like last season. So there will be Cups of 4 teams again. Those 4 teams are always determined by the results of the CAP Group Stage - more information below. The 4 teams will play in a Cup with Loser Bracket. In the end the team that won the Winner Bracket and the team that won the Loser Bracket will get a fixed spot for the higher division! The other two teams will get a fixed spot for the lower division. Here an example from last season: Click! In this case 711 won the Winner Bracket and Druidz won the Loser Bracket. Therefore they both got a fixed spot for Division 2 in this season.
For every match it's possible that the result is 3:3. In this case you have to play a decider map to determine the winner. The decider map is always the 1on1/2on2 map, and is played 5on5 until one team reached 7 points (just like a normal 5on5).
For everything below:
WB stands for Winner Bracket
LB stands for Loser Bracket
Relegations between division 2 and 3
- last placed team from division 2 goes down automatically, first placed team from division 3 goes up automatically -
System:
WB Round 1 - Match A: 2nd place division 3 vs 7th place division 2

WB Final: Winner Match A vs Winner Match B
LB Round 1: Loser Match A vs Loser Match B
LB Final: Loser of WB Final vs Winner of LB Round 1
Overall Final: doesn't have to be played

We won against you and that is the life. If we had not 2 bad matches against n! and elite we would have 3 more points than you. We can´t change it that you lost against us.
the following rule stands in the rulebook since the league began:
1.8 Rankings
If at the end of the season two teams have the same amount of points, then the team that won the direct match will get the better position. If the match ended with a draw, the overall score difference is the next deciding factor. If its the same aswell, the small submatch points of the direct match will decide. If its still the same then, the team that won the 5on5 in the direct match gets the better ranking position.
