Top 8 Bo5 on Stage
Profession stage with MC announcing the top 8.
Will include a massive viewing area w/ projector screen between the competitors.
The Brackets Being Used

The Singles event will be featuring two sets of pools, an amateur bracket, and a top 8 finale.
The first set of pools will narrow down the total entrants to 48, w/ 16 pools and top 3 advance. Your losses do carryover through the pools so keep strong. First seed of the first pool gets a huge advantage, only needing 2 additional wins in top 48 to reach top 8! A 2nd/3rd seed (took a loss in the pool) would need 5 wins to make top 8 and one more loss, they are outta there. Don't forget, top 8 will be on stage battling for the prize w/ pot bonus!

The amateur bracket will work based on the total entrants 16 player pools. Its seeding will be based on pools results with the entire bracket being double elimination. 1st place gets $50 and 2nd place gets $20.

The Doubles event will be a giant double elimination bracket, simple and easy.
Dabuz Practice Side Event

While wave 2 pools occurs and an hour after that, Dabuz will be doing 1 on 1 practice on stage. Form a line for a memorable chance of doing a 1v1 Bo3 match with the national player himself.
This is a great chance for both high level and low level players to gain the experience of fighting one of the best!
