Round 1

All 32 players have been randomly paired up and drawn into 4 groups.
There will be 6 games in each group (8-player x2, 6-player x4), with each team playing 5 games (8-player x2, 6-player x3).

Each player scores points according to their team progress:

1st Place = 3pts (4pts if both teammates are still alive)
2nd place = 2pts
3rd place = 1pt

The highest two finishers from each group will progress to the next round.
In the event of a tie, then a play-off game will take place between the teams tied on points.

The top 2 teams from each group will progress to the next round

Let the games begin!

The pairs and groups for the first round of the Mixed-Up Doubles tournament have been randomly drawn, and the initial games have been created.

Invitations have been sent to the first team in each group via PM; once a team has joined the next team will be invited. Please try and join quickly to avoid your competitors having a lengthy wait

I will try and post regular updates here...

All that remains is for me to wish you all Happy Fighting!
