The other team is then, by rule, expected to pause at the first appropriate time in a sensible and sportsmanlike manner (e.g. not in the middle of a push).

Explanation “Map-Pick-Elimination System”
Explanation of “Map-Pick-Elimination System”
This system might be used from time to time in different competitions to decide the maps.
- Team on the left is assigned as “1st Team”, Team on the right is the “2nd Team”
- 1st Team starts eliminating first map.
- 2nd Team eliminates a second map.
- Go on with the same procedure until 3 maps are left.
- The team whose turn it is now nominates their map which will be played first.
- After that the other team nominates their map which will be played as second.
- The 3rd map is the first overtime map. If more maps are needed according to the specific competition rules, latest eliminated maps are played.
Example
Please see specific competition rules for correct Map-Pool.
- 1st Team: “We eliminate dustbowl!” – remaining maps: well, granary, gravelpit, 2fort, turbine, badlands
- 2nd Team: “Oh no, but ok, we eliminate 2fort!!” – remaining maps: well, granary, gravelpit, turbine, badlands
- 1st Team: “Yes ok, bye bye badlands!” – remaining maps: well, granary, gravelpit, turbine
- 2nd Team: “It’s ok we remove turbine” – remaining maps: well, granary, gravelpit
- 1st Team: “Hum, our map will be granary then…” – remaining maps: well, gravelpit
- 2nd Team: “Okok, ours is gravelpit.” – remaining maps: well (-> decider map if each team wins one map)
Map order for this example: 1. granary; 2. gravelpit; 3. well; (if needed: 4. turbine; 5. badlands; 6. 2fort; 7. dustbowl)
