What is this event?

This event is the KICKOFF EVENT of PokéStats Events's Weekly Events! This event will be played in the Standard Format (TEU-BST) in a format similar to a League Cup with Swiss followed by a Top Cut.

How will this event work?

At least 15 minutes prior to the start of Round 1, send 2 Battle Styles packs to iowadude on PTCGO.

Once the event Starts, you will be paired in Best-of-One Swiss Rounds, the amount of which will be based on attendance (plan for at least 5, but as many as 7 or 8), with a 30 Minute Match Timer. After Swiss Rounds have completed, a Best-of-Three Top Cut will be played with a 50 Minute Match Timer.

For each round, you will have exactly five minutes to Check-In before being given an automatic loss.

In this event, wins will be worth three match points, ties will be worth one match point, and losses will be worth zero match points. Intentional Draws will be allowed.

Top Cut for this event will be "asymmetrical," meaning that there will be a fixed Top Cut, but if there is anyone that would "bubble" out of Top Cut with a record of X-1-1 or better will also automatically make it into the Top Cut, giving the bye(s) to the higher seeds as needed.

Prizing

Prizing will be based on the size of Top Cut, with all of the Top Cut receiving prizes. This is a sample structure for if there is a Top 8 Cut:

1st - 40% of Pack Prize Pool

2nd - 20% of Pack Prize Pool

Top 4 - 10% of Pack Prize Pool

Top 8 - 5% of Pack Prize Pool
