Format

Day One

• Staggered flights at different times (listed below). Each player signs up for one flight.
• Each flight consists of seven (7) rounds in 8-player or 6-player pods.
  • 6-player pods are used when players cannot be cleanly divided into full 8-player pods.
  • See the player documentation for more information.
• Points are awarded for placement in each pod, based on the pod's size.
• After all rounds, players with points above the Day Two cut will be eligible to play Day Two on Sunday.
  • The Day Two point cut will be posted in #tournament-announcements at the start of the tournament.

Day 1 Flight Times

Day 2

• Starts Sunday at 9am PST / 5p UTC.
• Players' points reset at the start of Day Two.
• Seven (7) rounds, following the same structure as Day One.
• After all rounds are complete, the 8 players with the highest points cut to the Top 8 race.

Top 8 Race

• Players' points reset at the start of the Top 8.
• The Top 8 is a “race” format over several rounds:
  • After earning 10 points, players become “live” to win the event.
  • The Top 8 continues until a “live” player takes 1st-place in a match. They win the event and the remaining players are sorted by points for standings.

Tiebreakers for Points

• Highest finish, second highest finish and so on.
• Previous section's point total.
• Final rank on July ladder.
