This tournament will be played on the smallest maps on CC - each map being smaller than the last!
In the Preliminary Stages there will be 18 mini-tournaments (each with only 3 games) - the winner of each mini-tournament will go through to the Final Stages. 3 of these mini-tournaments will be played at a time so that this stage does not drag on for too long.

Here is the order of maps (1 for each mini-tournament):
