Tournament Format

Weeks 1-6

For the first six weeks of the tournament, we will be running a group format. In groups, everyone plays all other teams in their group once. Each match will be a best of 5.

Teams tied on number of wins at the end of groups will be ordered by OMWP (Opponent Match Win Percentage).

Weeks 7 & 8

After the Swiss stage finishes, the top 8 teams will progress to Playoffs. Playoffs will be single-elimination, best of 7 matches. Quarterfinals and semifinals will take place in week 7. Finals will take place in week 8.
