SPLIT 1 GROUPS

COMPETITION FORMAT

The Split 1 Playoffs will utilize our familiar Group Stage to Double-Elimination bracket competition format.

The 40-team Group Stage will take place across the first two days of competition on Thursday and Friday where teams will be split into four groups of ten. These four groups will play a single six-match series against every other group.

On Saturday, every team will be assigned a starting position in the Double-Elimination Bracket Stage based on their Group Stage performance. The Elimination Bracket - Round 1 series, the Winners Bracket series, and the Elimination Bracket - Round 2 series will all take place on this day, following which, the top 20 teams will advance to the Match Point Finals.

The Match Point Finals will take place on Sunday and consist of a single Match Point format series to determine the Split 1 Playoffs Champion. In the Match Point format, once a team reaches fifty (50) points, they will become Match Point Eligible. The first Match Point Eligible Team to win a match (by placing first) will be declared the winner.
