Before the tournament begins, each player will be added to the "Qualifier" bracket. after registration closes, each player will be placed into either Pool A or Pool B. If the tournament has over 16 players (max is set to 18), a "First 4" tournament moderated by Mlane48 will take place and it's not broadcasted. That tournament will take place the day before the actual tournament, deciding who will be placed into the main brackets.
In the pool of 16, players will be divided up into two pools with 8 players each, both tournaments are randomized. Players will be divided evenly by their ranks. We will be using the Rocket League Tournament system to speed things up.
Normal matches will be a Best of 3, Pool Finals will be a Best of 5. The Grand Finals and 3rd Place Decider will take place in a private match hosted by Mlane48. The Grand Finals will be a Best of 7, and the 3rd Place Decider will be a Best of 3.
ALL PLAYERS MUST BE REQUIRED TO JOIN THE DISCORD IN ORDER TO COMPETE.
