Format Overview

Round Robin Weekend - Saturday the 19^th and Sunday the 20^th of October

The Round Robins themselves will take place on the Saturday, with 16 separate groups comprising three players, each assigned based on their overall tournament seed.

Each player will face off against the two other players in their group, playing each player once as Axis and once as Allies, meaning each player will play four games in total. This will provide ample chance for players to prove themselves.

Maps will be selected from a tournament approved pool. Each series between two players will be played on the same map for the sake of fairness.

Players will accrue one point for a win, and no points for a loss. The player with the most points will qualify in first place, and the player with the second-most points will qualify in second place. The player in third place will not qualify from their group and will be eliminated from the tournament. Victory Point count will be used to determine tie situations.

On Sunday, the sixteen players who qualified top of their group will face off against one of the sixteen players who finished second in their group in a best-of-five elimination series.

This is effectively the start of a traditional 32-player single-elimination tournament. A fight for survival and a chance to prove who is the very best in the world.

Round of 16 and Quarter Finals – Saturday the 9^th of November and Sunday the 10^th of November

A fantastic weekend of action as the 16 contenders battle until only four remain.

The Finals Weekend will start with the Semi-Finals matchups on Saturday the 16^th.
