Season 3 Playoffs - The Quarterfinals
It's been a long hard fought few months, but we've finally wrapped up the regular season and have determined those who will advance to the playoffs. This season brings the addition of a quarterfinals to our divisions with two groupings (Division 2 and 3). Those quarterfinals start this week. The format will be a best of 5 match with the higher seeded team earning the right to choose side (marines or aliens) or map first. Normal best of x rounds procedures apply afterward.
Default time for the quarterfinals is Saturday, November 9th @ 1100 PST / 1400 EST / 2100 CET / Sunday, November 10th @ 600 AEST (Correct me if I'm wrong). You'll have until next Sunday, November 10th to finish these matches. Once they're complete, the Division 2 and 3 semifinals schedule will be announced shortly after. Be prepared to make preparations for your matches if you move on.
Default time for the semis and finals will be at the same hour, but on Saturday, November 16th and 23rd. Schedules/Matches for the semifinals for Premier, Division 1 and 4 have already been created. Please schedule as soon as possible so you're able to play your match in a timely manner.
Although it's encouraged that you use Steam or whatever is the easiest to contact your opponents, PLEASE LEAVE NOTES IN THE MATCH PAGES of your record of contact, especially with confirmed times for matches.

This post says BO5 and the rules say best of 3 maps (the first one to win 2 maps proceeds to the next phase). So... what is it?

Best of 5.

I think by 9th Nov US doesn't have summer time anymore? So it's 1200 PST by then, right now it would be 1300 PDT

We changed our clocks this past weekend.

Soo it's 1100 PST? It's PST now not PDT.

Sorry, PST. Just make sure when you arrange your matches it's the correct time, even if you play around default time, for both teams. Thanks.

2.b - Final phases
If your division consists of two groups, the top 2 teams of each division group will make it into the final phases. The 1st placed team from Group A will meet the 2nd placed team from Group B, and the other way around.
If your division consist of just a single group, the top 4 teams will make it into the final phases. The team with the 1st place will meet the 4th place while 2nd place will meet 3rd place.
Maybe you should change the rules if you change the playoffs? ;P
Also a bit curious why you would go back to "Best of X rounds" instead of "Best of X maps". There were no extended plays in the Summer Cup, though that's what makes the rule more fair than "Best of X rounds" in the asymmetrical game that is ns2.

Maybe they couldnt find the rules or how to edit them on this craptastic page? :p
