The info below is generic info and subject to change depending on the event and number of teams that registered:
- We aim to get teams four pool play matches (two games each match), followed by single elimination tournament (best of 3 matches)
- Select events will be split into different divisions upon registration. Other events will be a single division, then split into Gold/Silver or something similar after pool play results.
