Furthermore, players may not choose mirrored civs for these games. Repeat picking of maps is always allowed.

Scheduling
Everyone that signed up should have access to the hidden scheduling forum. If you cannot see this forum and are a player, or a caster who is interested in casting please contact Robo (robo_boro#5469). The scheduling forum is hidden to avoid spamming everyday forum users with 50+ threads.
It is the players responsibility to schedule & be aware of the match settings. As matches are scheduled we will update the Scheduled Matches thread so that people are aware of when games are happening.
