[b][h]SIGNUPS[/h][/b]

Signups are invite based with a qualifier system. They will open in November. Only teams of 6 players may sign up. There are 72 seats available, meaning 12 teams can participate. 6 of these teams will be in the newly added VIP rooms (which means we can't accommodate 14 teams this year). VIP rooms are 12 player rooms modified to 10 player rooms with adjustable desks, more space and more modern hardware.

[b]IF YOU ARE AN INVITE / PREMIERSHIP TEAM AND WANT TO TAKE PART[/b] and we have NOT yet reached out to you, please [b]create a ticket in Discord in the #rules channel[/b] so we can consider inviting you.

[b][h]QUALIFIERS[/h][/b]

All non-invite/premiership teams must sign up to qualifiers to participate. ETF2L's 6v6 Season 53 ruleset applies. We are going to host qualifiers in December 2026.

[b][h]TOURNAMENT FORMAT[/h][/b]

[list]
[*] One tournament for all participating teams
[*] Group structure will be determined based on signups
[*] Group stage matches will use ETF2L config (30 minutes) with no golden cap
[*] Playoff matches will use the progressive ruleset timer (also known as continuous overtime or the b4nny config)
[*] Map list will be defined soon, we will announce it later (we aim for this month)
[/list]
This format is provisional and may be subject to change based on participant feedback.

[b][h]FURTHER INFO[/h][/b]

Sleeping costs are around 150 PLN/person/night in Łódź. We recommend checking Airbnb/Booking.com for offers and getting accommodation with friends makes it cheaper.

You can fly directly to Łódź from Dublin, Birmingham, London-Stansted, Brussels or Milan, otherwise check flights to Warsaw airports (Warsaw Chopin or Warsaw Modlin). From there you can take a direct bus (1h30) to the Łódź Fabryczna train station which is a 10 minute walk from the venue.

Spectator tickets will go on sale after qualifying ends (late December 2026) so all players who did not manage to qualify will still have a chance to attend.
