Maps & map pools

Complete guide to managing maps and creating custom map pools for your tournaments.

The Maps & Map Pools page allows you to:

• Automatic map import
• Add custom maps with images
• Create reusable map pools
• Select map pools during tournament creation
• Use the default Active Duty pool

On first start (or when the maps table is empty), MAT imports maps from the CS2 Server Manager repository and creates default pools like Active Duty.

For BO1/BO3/BO5 veto formats, you typically want exactly 7 maps for the standard veto flow.

• If your map pool has the wrong number of maps, create a new pool with 7 maps or use Active Duty.
• If images don’t show, re-upload or fetch from GitHub.
