How does the tournament work?
Participants are divided into groups of four, which are randomly created by the admins. Within the designated pool, each team plays one pot against each other. So there are in total drie match-ups. However, a pot, or match-up, consists of three matches. Each match is played in a different game mode, these are indicated in the rules of the tournament page. The captain of each team is responsible for communication between both teams and setting up a server.
A match-up is thus played in it best of 3format. If a team is ahead 2-0, there is no need to play a 3rd match and the result is therefore 2-0. When all matches within a pool have been played, there are two winners left who proceed to the so-called ‘higher bracket’. This is a knockout phase with all other first and second places from the other groups. Check? The third and fourth places from each pool also get their own bracket and are therefore not immediately out. The lower bracket plays for the third place, while the higher bracket plays for the first and second place.
In the PU-Discord groups will be created in which you can communicate with all your opponents from your group. The Discord channel is also used to report problems and administrative matters or to talk to the admins. Hence having one Discord account required. Make sure it is linked to your Level Up account under the heading ‘Games’ or ‘Games’.
Crossplay is on this tournament, so filling in your Activision ID is mandatory! It may be that your team has to compete against another platform and your PSN / Xbox / Battlenet ID is no longer worth anything. So make sure you have set up your Activision ID on the tournament page before registering for the tournament. You can link both your Discord and Activision ID under the heading ‘Games‘, under your profile.

The group stage
In the group phase you will be informed from the start of the tournament which group you are in. There you can see which team you have to play against and in what order. Once your opponent is known, you can add each other as a friend. Again: Communication with the opponent is possible in the chat channel of your pool. Make sure you invite each other and use the correct settings in accordance with the tournament rules. Then you play three matches in three different pre-defined game modes. Do you win twice in a row? Then you can enter 2-0 on the tournament page and the opponent must accept the score. The score must always verified by the opponent, this is necessary to avoid false or fake scores. So check each other’s scores. Take each other into account and be patient: not every match is finished quickly.
The two best performing teams in each pool thus qualify for the higher bracket, while the two teams with the least points go to the lower bracket. So you play both match days anyway, but what price is the question?

De bracketfase
The bracket phase is not high math, but we’ll explain it anyway. After you are placed in the lower or higher bracket, depending on your performance, you will be randomly placed against another team. Here it is again: three matches from three different game modes and only the winner continues. Do not forget to enter or accept your score here too.

Important to know
Get a screenshot makes at the end of each match. In this way I have evidence for the mods, should they request it. And if things don’t seem right, they sure will. in that case the following applies: no proof = invalid score.
Note: If you have successfully registered, you are not ready yet. Participants must also check in before the start of the tournament. This can be done up to an hour before the start of the tournament. Check in button appears 24 hours before the start of the tournament, in disappears on December 14, 6:00 PM. If you do not check in, you do not play. Once the tournament has started, there is no longer any possibility to check-in or register people. In short: after December 14, 6:00 PM there’s nothing we can do for you if you haven’t checked in.

Live op Twitch!
As you are used to from us, we will also broadcast this tournament via the Power Unlimited Twitch Channel. So make sure you have our channel open, so you will not only be aware of the status of the tournament, but you can ask anything that comes to mind. Keep in mind that the pool phase will not be broadcast, so this phase will be played offline for that matter. Of course the Discord obligation remains for the group phase.
