The Top 8 seeded players will advance directly to the Gold / Silver decider stage.
The tournament has no restriction on sign ups, but a weekend live qualification will be organised if we receive more than 80 sign ups ( including the top 8 seeds ). Admins will attempt to seed as much as possible, which will mean not every sign up will be required to pre qualify. 12 groups of 6 players per group is the maximum number for the Group stage.

[*] Once two Players have arranged and confirmed a time to play, the maximum waiting time is 30 minutes. If one of the Players fails to arrive, the waiting player must take a screenshot showing http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_UTC.aspx (so the current time is clearly visible) with the Tournament Lobby Game Room, and post the screenshot in their scheduling topic. Example. This way, tournament admins will know how long the player waited and upon Admins decision, the player that did not come might get an Admin Loss for the games. Do not try to edit time arrangement posts in an attempt to get free wins, because our forum registers the exact date and hour of each edited post.
