Elimination:
Maps:
Map Picks: Player 1 (better seed) picks a map from the 5 choices, Player 2 (worst seed) picks one of the 4 remaining to play, Player 2 tosses out one of the remaining 3 maps, Player 1 tosses out one of the remaining 2 maps, the remaining map will be used as the tiebreaking map.
Seeding: By the ladders ranking, players that are tied will be ranked accordingly, ie.. a tie for 11th spot will become the 11 and 12 seeds
Matchups: Highest vs Lowest; 1 vs 32, 2 vs 31, 3 vs 30 and so on.
Scheduling: We will contact each player and their opponent and setup an appropriate time/day for them to play. This can also be done by the players, if you and your opponent schedules a match then contact your Admin and let them know. (The time agreed on may not be allowed so make sure you ask the Admin) Because the playoffs have a time limit we must be very strict with scheduling, if you excessively refuse to play on suggested days then a disqualification for the entire playoffs or a forfeit/disqualification for the specific match may be given. If your opponent refuses to play/schedule or cannot be contacted then you will be given a BYE which means you win that particular match. If you and your opponent wish to play early then you must contact Your Admin and or Ref and let them know, if you play a match without their knowledge it will not count.
Coverage: The GGL and it's affiliates have the right to cast any and all matches they wish.
Refs: Because of lag issues, Refs/Admins will remain in the Lobby and watch replays of the matches afterward to ensure no cheating and fair play.
These bugs/exploits are not allowed. If any of these bugs/exploits/cheats are used deliberately in a match you will be disqualified for that particular match and possibly the entire playoffs. No exceptions.

Ringing - Someone plays for you. Any mechanism by which information that is not normally available to the player is obtained, such as eavesdropping.
Simply put, if you think something is wrong or illegal, do not do it.
Conduct - Members that do not display proper sportsmanship towards other members may be disqualified or have points taken away. Activities that would warrant this consideration include: excessive message spamming or other in-game abuse, public defilement of other members, and in particular the use of vulgar or racist remarks. In extreme cases this rule may apply to any electronic communication and through any medium that involves members of GGL or its administrators. However please note that we are not in the business of censorship, and the above rules are generally restricted to a match environment, except in circumstances that an administrator deems to be violent and/or flagrant derision of GGL members. Decisions in this matter will be left to the subjective analysis of the administrators.
Additional Rules - Unwritten Incidents and problems may arise during the playoffs, this happens with any form of Tournament, we can't write every possible rule/incident that can arise here. The GGL has confidence in it's Refs and Admins to handle any situation that arises.
RULES MAY CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE SO CHECK HERE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE, NEW RULES WILL BE ADDED TO THE TOP OF THIS PARTICULAR SECTION."
