FAQ

  • Is it best-of-3 or best-of-5?
    • Winners Finals, Losers Finals, and Grand Finals are best-of-5
    • Everything else is best-of-3
  • What is the "Swiss Pools" format?
    • A round robin format which pairs up players with similar records.
    • Players with 1-0 records will likely play each other in round 2 [likewise for those with 0-1 records].
    • This will be used for seeding the elimination bracket, and should also give players some competitive practice before elimination begins.
    • Note that, with 7 players, the top finisher in the swiss format will receive a bye - skipping the first round of elimination.
  • Why not round robin?
    • Round robin with every player would be a _lot_ of sets (6 for each player)
    • With the swiss format, you can select a number of rounds (I've set it to 3 rounds)
    • We could split into 2 pools and do a few sets each, but this should also result in more competitive sets.
  • What games will be streamed?
    • I'll try to stream some other matches, although likely most of the matches will just be whatever game I am in currently.
    • We'll plan to play the top 4 games sequentially, and I'll just join as a spectator.
    • Lets try to avoid having everyone spectate, as it seems to slow down the matches (watch the stream instead)
