Handling the CS:S Tourney this year, I'll explain why we have decided to go with the following rule sets for this tourney. First and foremost the rounds. As BrokenShadow has already stated, we are trying to host as many tournaments as possible given the allocated time frame to do so. I understand the question to diverse from traditional rule sets of 30 rounds switch after 15 rounds of match play, however with the anticipated number of entries we will be having for this, we could not fit it into the time given. The tournament will be ran as followed
Zblock 4.4 Add On with a possible TOTAL of 21 rounds played
10 rounds will be played from start
Teams will switch sides after 10 rounds and have a ready up to begin on opposite teams (CT go T and vice versa)
Another 10 rounds will be played with switched teams
In the result of a tie at 20, a 1 round playoff will be played for the match
The 1600 start money was added simply to speed up the tournament. With a shortened run of 21 vs the tradition 30 rounds, I felt it was necessary to get the tournament up and going full action from the start of the event. I'd be happy to answer any further questions you may have
