| 4th | 6 |

Day 2
- Starts Sunday at 10am PST / 6p UTC.
- Players' points reset at the start of Day 2.
- 5 rounds of 8-player pods, following the same structure as Day 1. Some players may have a deferred round to insure limited bots.
- After the 5 rounds plus the deferred round are complete, the 8 players with the highest points cut to the Top 8 race.
- The top 8 will be a “race” format over several rounds. Once a player earns 10 points they become “live” to win the event. The top 8 will continue until one of these “live” players wins 1st place in a brawl.
- Once that occurs, they are the winner of the event and the remaining players are sorted by points for standings.
Tiebreakers for Points
- Highest Finish, Second Highest Finish and so on.
- Day 1 point total
- Rank on December ladder
