Top Cut

Top Cut is a single elimination bracket for everyone that gets 15+ points, or 5/6 rounds. So the amount needed to Top Cut will always remain the same. Top 8 will gets Codes

  • 1st - 10 Codes
  • 2nd - 8 Codes
  • T4 - 6 Codes
  • T8 - 5 Codes Everyone else in the tournament will get points based on position.

Points

There are no kickers, just points based on position. It was going to be points per win, but a specific point system is required to be applied across all tournaments in a series, so I'm going with a more diverse point spread to reward both placing and participation.

  • 1st: 20 points
  • 2nd: 15 points
  • Top 4: 12 points
  • Top 8: 10 points
  • Top 16: 8 points
  • Top 32: 6 points
  • Top 64: 4 points
  • Top 128: 3 points
  • Top 256: 2 points
  • Top 512: 1 point
