cp_gravelpit: This map will be played with Stopwatch Mode and the format ABBA. The attacking team (Blu) must attempt to cap out all 3 capture points as fast as possible. The defending team (Red) must stop the attacking team from capping out as many points as they can. At the end of time or 3 cap outs, roles reverse and attempt to beat the previous teams attacking time.
