Tournament structure
Stage One: Six-round Swiss Tournament. Best score qualifies for World Series.
Stage Two: Players will now be placed in six divisions according to the geography of the countries they picked. Three of the divisions will take part in the western conference and the other three in the eastern conference. Players play against the their divisional opponents in 5 more rounds. Scores do not reset at the begining of this stage. Each divisional champion qualifies for the World Series.
Stage Three: Player with the best score between non-qualified players in the western conference plays player with best score between non-qualified players in eastern conference in a playoff. Winner advances to the world series.
Stage Four: Two playoff games. One between three best non-qualified players in west conference and the same for the east conference. Both winners advance to the World Series.
