Round structure:

+Phase 1: Swiss Rounds, Best of 1, 30 minutes. You will play 1 game against your opponent. Wins are worth 3 points, ties and losses are worth zero points. The first round will have completely random pairings, while subsequent rounds will pair you against players with similar / same amount of match points as you.

+Phase 2: Top Cut, Best of 3, 60 minutes. The top 4 players with the highest match points will advance to Phase 2. If there are players with the same number of match points, resistance (opponent's win percentage) will be used as a tie breaker. Top cut matches will be best of 3 games, i.e. first player to win two games wins the match. When time is called, players will have 3 additional turns to finish their game. If the game is not resolved in 3 turns, the player who has taken more prizes will win the game. If the score is 1-0, and the second game is not resolved, the winner of the first game will win the match.
