The Top 8 portion of this event will be streamed on our Twitch Channel. We will be doing Swiss rounds dependent on the number of players there are.

Basic Rules Best of 3 Swiss Conquest format followed by Top 8 playoffs. Open deck lists. Each player brings 3 decks (unique classes), with 1 deck being banned by their opponent. Conquest format; Once you win with a deck you cannot queue that deck again, first player to win with all of their decks wins. The losing player may queue with the same deck or another deck, if one is available. Once you have finished your match, you will be paired up with an opponent with a similar game score. Do not leave if you lose Round 1! Unless you don't want to keep playing of course. If you would like to drop out of the tournament, please contact an admin before you go. The best way is to post a message on the GGtoor Discord asking to be dropped (in the #HS-drop-from-event channel.) After the Swiss portion, the 8 top performing players will play in a Single Elimination playoff bracket. Format - Swiss In Swiss format, you play a number of rounds determined by the number of players (64 players, 6 rounds, 128 players, 7 rounds). You can play in all of these rounds, you are not out of the tournament after a loss. Each round, you will be matched up against someone with the same score as you, unless there is no one available, then the most appropriate opponent will be found. Tie breakers are determined by the HCT Tiebreaker System, which is explained here. Battlefy works out tiebreakers automatically. In a tournament with a Single Elimination Play-off, the top 8 players after the Swiss portion are seeded in a single elimination bracket. The exact score required to reach Top 8 is reliant on the number of players in the tournament, and how many players drop out and at which point they drop out, so an exact calculation is impossible to reach. Just do your best and have fun! Format - Single Elimination Play-offs After the Swiss portion, the Top 8 players will be seeded into a Single Elimination bracket. The losing player of each match will be eliminated, with the last player remaining getting 1st place and the losing player of the last match getting 2nd. The 2 losing players of the quarter-finals (Top 4) will compete in another match, with the winner getting 3rd. The Top 8 portion of this event will be streamed on our Twitch Channel, be sure to tune in and cheer for your favourite!
