The top seed will always play axis first. This refers to the player on the top of the bracket for that round. The picking process is as follows:

• Game 1: Axis Player declares his Army first, then Allies Player declares his Army.
  
• Game 2: Axis Player declares his Army first, then Allies Player declares his Army.
  
• Game 3 (if necessary):
  
  • VP Leader from first two games declares whether he will play Axis or Allies.
    
  • VP Loser from first two games declares which Army he will play from his side.
    
  • VP Leader declares which Army he will play from his side.
    
  • The VP Leader has earned the right to counter-pick his opponent.

Round 1: Angoville
Round 2: Faymonville Approach
Round 3: Kholodny Ferma Summer
Round 4: Crossing in the Woods
Semifinals & Finals:
By vetos from this pool:

• Angoville

• Kholodny Ferma Summer
  
• Crossing in the Woods
  
• Bystraya Voda

- All commanders and bulletins are allowed.
- Exploits that give one player a huge unfair advantage are not allowed. These things are allowed:

• USF going over pop cap
  
• OKW truck pushing (good luck with that...)
  
• Tank trap, sandbag, wire ghosting
  

All replays from the tournament should be uploaded to COH2.ORG's Replays system. A message should be left by the winner in the steam group chat room for the referees to advance you in the brackets.



I will try to cast as many series as I can (live or otherwise) but obviously will only be able to cast so many! I encourage other casters to pick up tourney games if they want. I'll be streaming all casts live on Twitch and uploading videos afterward on YouTube.



The next Star Crossed Cup champion will receive a prize of $200.
