In general, we apply the following model in Tournaments :

Best of 1

Each team takes turns banning maps. Both teams will ban three maps each and the last map will be the one that will be played.

Ex: Team 1 Ban - Team 2 Ban - Team 1 Ban - Team 2 Ban - Team 1 Ban - Team 2 Ban.

The last map in the pool is then Picked.

Best of 2

Ex: A: Team 1 Ban - Team 2 Ban - Team 1 Ban - Team 2 Ban - Team 1 Pick - Team 2 Pick

The last map in the pool is Discarded.

 

Best of 3

Each Team takes turns banning maps. Both teams will ban two maps each and the three last maps to be played will be PICKED in order.

 

Ex: Team 1 Ban - Team 2 Ban - Team 1 Pick - Team 2 Pick - Team 1 Ban - Team 2 Ban.

The last map in the pool is then Picked.
