Some important qualifier rules
A player may only play a qualifier with 1 clan.
Players who played for the winning clan in a qualifier will not be allowed to play for any other team in the cup (EuroCup + Open Cup) during the first 3 match weeks. This rule seeks to discourage players who do not intend to compete with the clan from 'helping' it qualify.
Players who played for the losing clan in a qualifier must first go through the new member procedure (as described in the Clans And Players section) before they can play for another clan.
Each team can pick their own map from the above maplist for their qualifier game. They must inform the referee or supervisor if it 30 minutes before the match. The Referee will not announce the maps until he has received both teams choice.
All games must be played before 27 March 2008.


Good luck to all teams have fun and play fair....
