Character Picks and Maps:

Round 1: 

Characters: Both players have to pick their character before knowing which character their opponent is playing for the first round. Players can do this by themselves. Or if at least one player wishes to have the blind pick be handled by a tournament admin, both players will tell the admin which character they will play in the first round after which the admin will inform both players which character their opponent will play.

Map: The last remaining map that was not picked by any player during the map selection process will be the map for round 1.

Round 2: 

Characters: The player that won the previous round will keep whichever character they won the first round with. If they chose to play with a random character, the character that was randomly selected for them in the first round will be the character they play in the second round. 

Map: The second round will be played on the map chosen by the player who lost the first round.

Round 3:

Characters: The player that won the previous round will keep whichever character they won the first round with. If they chose to play with a random character, the character that was randomly selected for them in the second round will be the character they play in the third round. 

Map: The third round will be played on the map chosen by the player who lost the second round.

Tiebreakers:

In the case of a round ending in a draw, the same characters and the same map will be picked in a tiebreaker round with one(1) stock. This will be repeated until a player wins the 1-stock tiebreaker round.
