2) Maps for this tournament are preselected and must be played for the week listed versus that opponent. For example, Week 1 maps are 1, 2, and 3. If you are playing your week 1 opponent on week 6, you must play these week 1 maps. The maps are listed on the CoQ & RA2 QC CA Tournament Season 2 spreadsheet.
