Regional Leagues (Swiss)

For the first four weeks of the tournament Teams will be split into 4 regional leagues. We will be running 12 rounds of modified swiss across 4 weeks. In a swiss everyone plays all rounds and teams are then ranked on number of wins. Swiss works by matching teams with same win record against each other in each round. Eg teams with 2 wins play against other teams with 2 wins.

We will be using a modified swiss algorithm to do pairing. By pre generating a “swiss bracket” after check in we avoid the problem of having to wait for all games in a round to finish before starting next round. This also helps us reduce playing the same team twice but does not eliminate rematches altogether.

Teams tied on wins in final standing will be ordered by OMWP(opponent match win percentage).

Week 6-8

National Leagues

After the swiss stage finishes, the top 4 teams from each Region qualify for National league division 1 and 5-8th qualify for Nationals division 2. Each Nationals division will consist of 16 teams in split into 4 groups of 4 teams from different regions. The top 2 teams from each group will advance to quarterfinals. Quarterfinals and semifinals will be best of three and Grand finals will be best of five.
