The starting divisions in the groupstage will consist of teams of a similar level, as determined by the qualification. There are six matchdays and during every matchday each division will play one match (with all teams in that division) with three submatches in which three players from every team play. The points scored by the team players during the Rounds submatches are summed and are the end result of the match. The top team will promote to the division above (if any) and the bottom team is relegated to the division below (if any).

The team ending at the top of Division 1 at the last matchday wins the Canyon Team League.

Team admins can indicate on the division page in which of these slots their team is available. When all teams have indicated which slots they're available, the admin team will determine the date/time the division will be played.

Available timeslots to choose:

• Sunday at 14:00 CET
• Sunday at 16:00 CET
• Sunday at 19:00 CET
• Sunday at 20:00 CET
• Sunday at 21:00 CET (default time if no consensus can be reached)
• Monday at 19:00 CET
• Monday at 21:00 CET

As there are teams playing from different timezones, we ask you to be considerate in chosing which timeslots you are not available. If you cannot agree to a timeslot, try to contact eachother via Discord (f.e. using the team owners channel). If no consensus for a timeslot can be reach, the adminteam will set the default time as the moment to play the match.

All matches will be played on matchservers provided by Smurfen.net and will run a plugin that will automatically host your match (setting pointlimits, chosing the correct maps, enabling tennismode) and save the results. As this is an experimental system, please save screenshots of the submatch results.
