Tournament Mechanics

Upon successful registration, all registrants will be entered into a pool where they will be randomly picked into individual groups by drawing lots after the sign-up deadline.

In round robin fashion, the top 2 of each group will qualify into the play-offs which will be a double elimination format.

Schedule will be released on November 20, 2008

All players are allowed to participate in all games and we will try our best not to make any of the schedules clash. However if it does happen, players will have to make a choice between which game they will be continuing to participate in.

All enquiries can be directed to eugene@scoga.org
