Additional info:
The Millennium Series will take care of the Intercontinental Cup, the four qualified teams need not to pay an entry fee. Additionally the Millennium Series will pay the entry fee for the four qualified teams in Division I (X-Ball), so the teams will not only play on Tuesday, but can take part in the regular tournament as well. However, the PSP has decided, to not allow rostered players of the four European teams qualified for Intercontinental Cup, to register with OTHER teams. So the players of the four top European teams will either play with their regular teams in Division I for free, OR not at all at World Cup.
Please confirm, that your team want to take part at Intercontinental Cup and Division I X-Ball. If you don't want to take part, the Millennium Series will nominate another team. I expect your confirmation til Monday, October 2nd 18:00, so we can start promotion for the first Intercontinental Cup next week. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Have a nice weekend,
Ulrich

timeout and the teams will play a 60-second one-on-one overtime period.

Penalties
A player who receives a penalty is eliminated.
If there are two or more active players left on the penalized player’s team and
there are more than 90 seconds remaining in the match or overtime period, the player
closest to the penalized player is also eliminated and placed in the penalty box to serve
the penalty.
If the team has less than two active players left, or the penalty is a major or gross
penalty assessed in the final 90 seconds of a match or overtime period17,
If a game is in progress, the game ends immediately, and
The opposing team scores one point, and
The penalized player is placed in the penalty box.
If a player is penalized when there are already 3 players from that player’s team in
the penalty box:
If a game is in progress, the game ends immediately.
Of the four penalties, the penalty with the least time remaining will end and the
remaining three players will be placed in the box at the start of the next game.20
The opposing team scores a point.
If both teams receive penalties that would cause their opponent to score a point, the
points offset each other to the extent possible.
If a penalty is assessed before or between games, it must be served at the start of the next
game.
A MINOR penalty is 1 minute long.
A DOUBLE MINOR is two consecutive minor penalties.
A MAJOR penalty is 3 minutes long.
A GROSS penalty is 5 minutes long.
A player who receives a gross penalty may not play for the next 10 minutes of game
time. This carries over to the next match the player plays in, even if the match is in the
next round or a different tournament. If the player receiving the gross penalty would
normally be placed in the penalty box, the team must select another player to serve the
player’s penalty.
Penalty time begins running when the player serving the penalty enters23 the penalty box.
Penalty time does not run between games.
If an opposing team scores a point while a team has a player serving a minor penalty, the
minor penalty with the least time remaining will end
