Tournament style
The tournament begins with a 3 round Swiss style tournament to determine seeding.
All games in the Swiss will be Bo3Swiss means your first game will be selectively randomised (e.g Professor Pro vs Fuzzyness cannot happen R1 of the Swiss) after which you will be playing someone with a similar win/loss ratio to yourself - exact matches to be decided on point scores.
Points for the Swiss will be as follows:
1 point for winning a game, -1 point for losing a game, 1 point for a win.
e.g. a 2-0 win = 3 points, a 1-2 loss = -1 point
The top 16 will progress through to a 16 man double elimination bracket, with seedings determined by their point score in the Swiss (There may be some Bo1 play-offs to decide final seedings)
Games will be Bo3 until Losers Semi-Final. This match and all subsequent matches will be Bo5.
