FORMATThis is a two-round, round-robin tournament with 10 teams. The tournament will be divided into two groups of 5. Each team plays 12 games (3 games vs. every other team in its group). The group winners advance to the finals where they will contest a best-of-three championship series to determine the tournament winner.
TIEBREAKERSIn the event that two teams tie for first place in their group, the tiebreaker will be the result of the 3 games played against each other during the group.
In the event that multiple teams tie for first place in a group, the first tiebreaker will be total wins among the tied teams in games where they played each other. If that fails to produce a champion, but narrows things down to two teams, we would then revert to the tiebreaker above.
In the unlikely event that 5 teams finish 6-6 in one group, the team that achieved its six wins in the fewest number of rounds will be declared group winner. If that tiebreaker fails to produce a winner, then a head-to-head game will be played on the Indochina map.
