Round-Robin/Double Elimination

In terms of the Heroes of Newerth tournament the mode will vary depending on participation.

If 5 teams or less enter, it will be a round-robin format with a 50% win threshold for progression.
If 6 teams or more enter, it will be a double elimination format

The internal rule-set used will be Banning Draft. Matches will be paused if players crash or disconnect at any time during a match. A match will only be replayed if massive computer failure occurs within the first 5 minutes or 3 player kills (not counting suicides or deaths to NPCs) (at the discretion of a tournament admin). After 5 minutes or 3 player kills occur, if massive computer failure occurs the match will be paused and a ruling called by a tournament admin.

If round-robin mode is used and 3 teams progress then the bottom two teams based on win percentage will face each other in a match to determine who faces the top team based on win percentage.
