Hey everybody, Xenozero has an interesting new event for Thursdays. This format will allow for a high number of sets per player, meaning that players who might normally go 0-2 can play up to 11 sets in their tournament, depending on attendance.
The format is as follows:
Players will be divided into 2 round robin pools, consisting of a maximum of 12 players each. These pools will have 5 setups assigned to each. The winner of each pool will proceed to play a best of 5 set with each other, and this will determine 1st and 2nd.
Please keep in mind this is a work in progress, and will be subject to change based on necessity and feedback.
Please note this event has a 24 player cap due to time constraints. We willNOT accept pre-registration, it will be first come first serve
