=== Brackets ===
Brackets are due to be released on 15th February 2014 (Saturday)
=== Match Scheduling ===
You should add the players of the team you're supposed to play with on steam, a spreadsheet with the full list of signed up teams is going to be added to this page when brackets are released
* '''1st Round''' starts at 3pm EST (This timeframe is subject to change)
The rest of the rounds estimated times will be published after brackets are released.
'''Note:''' Teams have 15 minutes tolerance to show up for a match, if you can't contact the opposite team after 15 minutes you should talk to Kaneco on steam, from then it will be given a default loss to that team if they still don't respond.
=== Servers ===
Refer to the [[Comp.tf_2nd_bball_cup_NA#Rules|Rules]] section of the cup to know which config and map to use.
If none of the teams has a server or if both teams can't agree where to play on, you should contact Kaneco for a server on steam.
=== Reporting results ===
Players should report their own scores through the challonge cup page on the brackets (click '?' links next to your game) and submit with an attached screenshot and the full result (ie 25-13, not 1-0), after that an admin will review the result submitted and approve it as soon as possible.
'''Refer to this image on how to submit the results'''
