Tournament Info
At present, the tournament will begin with a two week pre-season starting May 1st. Teams will play one match weekly. The tournament manager (micr0c0sm) will schedule teams to play from 7 PM EST until 10 PM EST on Sundays. A strictly enforced 10 minute grace period will be allowed for teams to organize. A referee will be assigned to each match. If both teams agree and 24 hours notice is given to the assigned referee, the match may be rescheduled for another time but must occur before Wednesday evening as this is when the new schedule will be posted.

Play will be 6 vs 6. If both teams agree matches may be 7 vs 7 or 8 vs 8. The tournament will be Swiss format (this may change). Each match will consist of 2 rounds with no timelimit. All matches will be recorded by HLTV. Any disputes will be resolved by the referee or by review of the demos.

All TGNS rules are in effect so players should familiarize (or re-familiarize) themselves with them. They are located here (TGNS specific rules) and here (TGNS primer). Exceptions: structure blocking (but not trapping) and TK'ing are allowed.

The deadline for registration is midnight April 23rd. Captains will be contacted (most likely via PM) with a time to select teams. Matches times and teams will be posted in the Natural Selection General Discussion forum.

All matches will take place on TGNS servers:
