September 27th and 28th at Hilton Los Angeles Airport, Los Angeles, CA.
This event will require players to have two decks made, where they cannot share cards between their two decks. On Day 1, 128 players will be participating in eight (8) best of 1 Swiss Rounds, where Deck A will be used for Rounds 1 - 4 and Deck B will be used for Rounds 5 - 8. The Top 16 players will move onto Day 2, where the format will be 2 Deck Double Elimination.
Day 2 will use double elimination brackets. We will utilize power seeding such that the 1st place player from Day 1 will be paired against the 16th place player from Day 1, the 2nd place player from Day 1 will be paired against the 15th place player from Day 1, and so forth. The winner’s bracket will be Best of 3, same as Day 1, and if a player loses a round in the Winner’s Bracket, they will move to the loser’s bracket. The loser’s bracket will consist of Best of 1 matches with either of their decks, which they can choose before each round.
The winners of each bracket will play in the finals, where the winner’s bracket player needs to win a best of three, while the loser’s bracket player needs to win a best of 3, and then another best of 1 match that will decide it all.
