Tournament Format

  • Bots will be separated into 4 groups of 3. Groups will be decided by draft, which will take place at least a week before the final bot submission date
  • Draft will proceed by splitting the bots into 3 seeding pots based on final ladder position.
  • Each group will consist of 1 bot, randomly drawn from each seeding pot.
  • Each bot will play a best of 3 series against each other bot in their group
  • Some games may not be streamed due to time availability, but all replays will be available immediately after the stream
  • Rankings in the group will be decided by:
  • Overall wins in all series
  • Match score
  • Result of the game between tied bots
  • Tie breaker game between tied bots
  • If all 3 bots are tied, 2 tie breaker games will be played. The 2 bots with the shortest average winning time will play, with the winner taking first place. The loser will then play the bot with the longest average winning time. The loser of that game will be eliminated and the winner will take 2nd in the group
  • The top 2 bots from each group will play off in single elimination bracket. The group winners will be seeded to play against the runners up from another group.
  • Elimination bracket will be Bo5 games
