First of all, the usual notification that all freemiums are welcome as long as they leave one slot open.
So... in this tournament, there will be three phases, all games played in random maps:
Phase One: Four 8-player groups. Four rounds of 8-player games. Top four players in each group advance to the next phase.* If two or more players are tied in points at the end of the group phase, a playoff game will be played between them.
Phase Two: Four 4-player groups. Three rounds of 1vs1 games. Top two in each group advance to the quarter finals. One point per victory, zero per defeat. If TWO players are tied in points at the end of the group phase, the winner of the game between them gets the advantage. If MORE THAN TWO players are tied in points at the end of the group phase, there will be a playoff game played between them.
And, of course, the elimination phase:
Quarter Final: Four 1vs1 games. Winners advance to the semis.
Semi Final: Two 1vs1 games. Winners advance to the final.
Final: 1vs1 game. Winner takes it all.
