Points

Points earned throughout the event will be awarded for each player based on the results of each game: 8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 (ie: first place wins 8 points, eighth place wins 1 point).

Day 1 Format

Day 3 Format

• Points are reset.
• The remaining 8 Players will play in a checkmate format.
• Once a player has achieved 20 points on Day 3, they put the rest of the lobby in “check”.
  • When a player has put the lobby in “check” they must win a game to win the tournament.
  • Multiple players can have the lobby in “check” at the same time.
  • If no player in "check" has won after 8 games, then the player with the most total points wins the tournament.
• Once a player has won, the rest of the players are sorted by Day 3 points to determine their finishing position in the tournament.
