Swiss Rounds

We will run a number of Swiss rounds based on attendance (4-8 players = 3 rounds, 9-16 players = 4 rounds, 17-32 players = 5 rounds), which will be played as 55 minute timed, best-of-three game matches. Matches can end in a draw. Players may decide to intentionally draw (ID). The end of match procedure will be as follows:

• (A) If players are between games, skip to (E).
• (B) If players are midgame, play will continue until the end of the next action phase. If a player wins before that point, skip to (E). If not, compare the damage on both bases. If they are equal, skip to (C). If not, the player with less damage on their base is declared the winner of that game, then skip to (E).
• (C) Compare the number of units both players control. If they are equal, skip to (D). If not, the player with more units is declared the winner of that game, then skip to (E).
• (D) The player with the initiative is declared the winner of that game. Proceed to (E).
• (E) The player with more game wins is declared the winner of the match. If both players are tied for game wins, the match is declared a draw.

Single Elimination Rounds

After Swiss, we will top cut to a number of players based on attendance (4-8 players = Top 2, 9-16 players = Top 4, 17-32 players = Top 8). A Single Elimination bracket will be created and players will be seeded according to their final standing after Swiss, with the highest seed playing the lowest seed and so on. The player with the higher seed automatically gets to decide which player starts with the initiative in the first game of their match. Single Elimination matches will be untimed and can't end in a draw, but players may opt for a store credit prize split.
