Playoffs for 16 spots, open registration, 64 players max. (Stage 1: Qualification Matches)
Stage 2: Groups. 8 Groups with 4 players each (2 from Qualification, 2 from Reserved).
Group winners advance to Gold Cup knock-outs. Runner-ups advance to Silver Cup knock-outs.
Each player will play 2 seperate sets (on different days) of 9 fixed games against each groupmember, the first consists of mirrors only, the other of prepicked matchups (=MU). Each won game counts for 1 point.
Final group positions will be determined as follows:
Spoiler
Most games won across all 6 sets
Most number of set wins
Head-to-head record
In the unlikely case both players are still level, a final BO3 is played.
Every player prepicks 1 personal MU + map, which is played first mandatory each 2nd set. After that, MU choice & mapchoice alternate. The player at the bottom spot of the bracket choses first.
Personal Matchup (PM)= chosen from Matchups (MU). PM remains the same for the entire tournament.
Every MU is reversed on same map (including Personal MU)! Each MU can only be chosen once per set.
Game 9 of Set 2 = USA Mirror on [RANK] ZH Carrier is Over v2.
With all matchups EXCEPT the Personal MU, the opponent choses map (from the 3 maps behind the MU). With the Personal Matchup, you pick the map (from the 3 maps behind the MU).
>> FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [FAQ] <<
Spoiler
First rule of ExtraVaganza is... READ THE RULES!
Second rule of ExtraVaganza is... READ THE RULES! Just take 5 minutes & read it thoroughly atleast once. And save yourself / everyone lots of time.
What are MU? MU = MatchUps. A list of MU is provided to chose from. Each MU = reversed on the same map.
What is PM and how does it work? PM= Personal Matchup. Each player picks a PM for the duration of the entire tournament. PM is chosen from Matchups (MU), map from the 3 maps behind the MU.
Can I pick a mirror as my PM? No. Mirrors are not part of the Matchups (MU) list. Instead they are played as a completely seperate set in the Group Stage, consisting of mirrors only.
What is the difference between PM and normal MU? With all matchups, the opponent choses map. Only with PM do you pick the map yourself as well. + PM = always played in every set (sole exception: Group Stage/Set 1. Mirrors).
Can I pick a MU twice? No. However a MU can potentially be played twice, if both players chose the same MU.
Can a map be played more then once? Yes. Different MU have different maps to play them on. A player is free to chose any of the maps listed behind a MU, even if it's played before.
What are Stages? There are 3 different stages in this event: 1. Qualification 2. Group Stage 3. Gold & Silver Cup.
What if my opponent didn't follow the rules, but we have finished already? It is each player's own responsibilty to read, check and follow the rules. If something isn't clear, contact Dense/AnT1_Pr0. Protesting after a set is completed without proper complaint during the games themselves is useless. Every player should be aware of the rights & restrictions of this event.
I have missed a deadline, what will happen? You are Disqualified (DQ). Unless you have an extremely apparent reason and have kept clear communications with the hosts and also your opponent.
What if I finish 3rd or 4th in the Group Stage? Sadly you are then eliminated from the tournament.

Rules:
Gentool version 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3 + Upload mode ON = Mandatory!
All replays most be uploaded here, no replays = no win.
Fair Play Rules + no scaffold abuse. Scaffold Abuse is any use of scaffolds that is not one of these 6: - Removing GLA scraps at any time and any location on the map. - Forcing guarding enemy air units within close scaffold proximity to shoot onto the ground. - Placing for survival purposes to keep units alive, but not interfering with enemy units or buildings. - Placing within own base proximity at start of match (<1min) to trick opposing waypoint scouting efforts. - Placing scaffolds to remove destroyed buildings that obstruct unit movement. - Placing scaffolds to protect Workers/Dozers/Trucks (construction must start before enemy reaches it). However, please note that this does NOT include the 'tunnel placement bug' whereby a player quickly drops two tunnels over a worker, thereby giving it protection to crushes.
Ignoring Scaffold Abuse rules = an auto-loss for that game, unless opponent wants to replay the game.
If a DC happens, match is replayed, unless 1 player was clearly ahead. (Descretion of host applies).
Livestream mandatory for all games. Arrange with 3rd party streamer ahead & test speed if possible.
Arrangement topic is leading in determining effort to play, arrange or confirm arranged matches there.
Any player exceeding a deadline date will be disqualified (DQ), unless of extremely apparent reasons.
