Map pool and map ban order
The current map pool is constituted of the following maps:
• BANK
• BORDER
• CHALET
• CLUBHOUSE
• KAFE
• OREGON
• SKYSCRAPER
• THEME PARK
• VILLA
The way in which map bans will take place is as follows:
The team to the left of the fixture will be Team A. Team A starts the process and the
order of the ban/pick is as follows:
Team A Ban - Team B Ban – Team A Ban – Team B Ban – Team A Ban – Team B Ban – Team A Ban – Team B Ban – Decider Map played
Team B decides attack or defence.
All Ban messages are final when posted.
General rules
During Rainbow Six official matches, players can only use the uniforms
and headgear listed below:
• Operator’s default skins
• Pro League skins (gold sets)
• Pro teams branded cosmetics
• Esports Programs’ cosmetics
All other uniforms and headgear are banned from use in competitive play.
Number of players
All matches have to start with five players per team (5v5), no other combinations are allowed. If a participant
fails to show up with enough players, the match will be counted as a no-show.
If a player disconnects during an ongoing round, the current round will be finished. If the map is not over at that
point, the game should be paused until the player can return or be replaced by a substitute. If the original player
is unable to return and no replacement can be brought in, after 15 minutes the team has the choice to forfeit the series or to
continue it with four players.
