Competition Format and Scoring
All players are using the same competition and scoring format:
- Group stage involving two groups of four players followed by playoffs (1st/2nd, 3rd/4th, 5th/6th, 7th/8th)
- All players will play four matches in total across the day
- Each match is best of 3 games, first to 11 points (2 clear at 10 all)
- Loser to mark the following match
With such a tight schedule it’s important you’re ready to play 10 minutes before your start time.
With four matches to be played, it is strongly advised that you refuel small and often, keeping a bottle of water with you all the time and try to get some fresh air and proper rest when possible.
