Each map is played twice, teams switch sides for the second round

• During the matches, players are expected to demonstrate fair play and good sportsmanship
• If a tie-breaker also ends up in a draw, the winner is determined by the same statistics as in the AWL Spring Cup (vehicles left alive, damage done, default loss for both teams or a rematch if no damage was dealt)
• The team that is higher in bracket (“home” team) is determined randomly before every match. That team is the first to ban a map and first to choose a side on a map

Win conditions:

• A team wins a match after winning 4 round in Bo7
• The conditions for winning a round correspond with the in-game conditions
• If no winner is determined during the 6 rounds, the 7th round is treated like a tie-break and is played on the map that was banned second.
• If a tie-breaker also ends up in a draw, the winner is determined by the following statistics:

1. Amount of vehicles left alive after the tie-breaker ends
2. If not determined by (1), by the amount of damage dealt by the whole team combined
3. If not determined by (2), a referee can call another tie-break round or give default losses to both of the teams, at the discretion of the jury and the Tournament Organizer
