 * Team 1 selects the perks for the first character they picked
 * Team 2 strikes one map from the list of available maps
 * Team 1 strikes one map from the list of available maps
 * Repeat steps 6 & 7 until one map remains. Game 1 will be played on the last available map.

Proceeding Match Procedure

 * The following steps outline the process of playing a Match.
 * The team that won the previous game may elect to change characters.
 * The team that lost the previous game may elect to change characters.
 * The team that won the previous game may elect to change perks.
 * The team that lost the previous game may elect to change perks.
 * The team that won the previous game can ban up to 2 maps from being selected for the next game.
 * The team that lost the previous game selects the map for the next game. The losing team may not select the map that they have most recently won during this Match (known colloquially as Dave’s Stupid Rule).
 * The next Game is played.

Repeat steps 5-11 for all subsequent Games until the Match is complete. Additional Notes The losing AND winning team of the preceding Match may choose to change characters and/or perks. If they choose to change their characters, the winning team must choose their characters first.

Connection:

 * If you are having issues with your game where you're experiencing lag call for an Admin.
 * Both teams will be required to provide bufferbloat screenshots with a time stamp in the case of a connection dispute.
 * The Admins will then determine whether it is a server issue or connection issue & have the right to DQ any given team based on documented connection status.

Update

 * It has come to our attention that Velma's Mystery Machine is bugged where the van becomes invulnerable and won't take damage. We will ban the move due to there not being any way to save a teammate caught in it.
