Swiss Rounds

We will run a number of Swiss rounds based on attendance (4-8 players = 3 rounds, 9-16 players = 4 rounds, 17-32 players = 5 rounds), which will be played as 55 minute timed, best-of-three game matches. Matches can end in a draw. Players may decide to intentionally draw (ID). Match points are awarded based on the result of the match (3pts per win, 1pt per draw, 0pts per loss) and used to determine top cut*. The end of match procedure will be as follows:

• (A) If players are between games, skip to (D).
• (B) Play will continue until the end of the next action phase. If a player wins before that point, skip to (D). If neither player does, compare the damage on both bases at that point. If they are equal, skip to (C). If not, the player with less damage on their base is declared the winner of that game, then skip to (D).
• (C) The player with the initiative is declared the winner of that game, then proceed to (D).
• (D) The player with more game wins is declared the winner of the match. If both players are tied for game wins, the match is declared a draw.

Single Elimination Rounds

After Swiss, we will top cut to a number of players based on attendance (4-8 players = Top 2, 9-16 players = Top 4, 17-32 players = Top 8). A Single Elimination bracket will be created and players will be seeded according to their final standing after Swiss, with the highest seed playing the lowest seed and so on. The player with the higher seed automatically gets to decide which player starts with the initiative in the first game of their match. Single Elimination matches will be untimed and can't end in a draw. Players may opt for a store credit prize split at any point during top cut while the number of remaining players is 8, 4, or 2 and the decision between those players is unanimous.
