The format of the group stage will be 6 Bo 1 + ace match. Each teams play each other one time in the group stage. If two teams are on the same score before playoffs, number of losses will determine the winner.

After the group stage, the top four teams will advance for the playoffs. The winner of the group stage will face the fourth team, the runner-up will face the third team.

To generate a high level of participation in the tournament there will be 15% allowed W.O. sets per team in the tournament. This will be 15% of the total amount of games that each team play in the group stage. The exact number is therefore determined by how many teams sign up. This number will be rounded in standard arithmetic manner and presented when all teams have signed up. Out of these W.O:s, 2 will be allowed in the playoffs, the rest in the group stage. This will generate a reasonable amount of W.O. sets allowed for teams, independent on how many teams sign up. If we just put down a single amount of W.O. sets allowed, we could get into a bad situation where teams have unrealistic number of W.O:s.

TL;DR
(8 teams = 5 W.O:s in group stage, 2 in playoffs, )
(9 teams = 6 W.O:s in group stage, 2 in playoffs, )
(10 teams = 7 W.O:s in group stage, 2 in playoffs, )
(11 teams = 9 W.O:s in group stage, 2 in playoffs, )
(12 teams = 10 W.O:s in group stage, 2 in playoffs, )
(13 teams = 12 W.O:s in group stage, 2 in playoffs, )

Before each match, the team captains will hand in a numbered list of players (six + ace player) and one joker player. The player names should be their official nicknames with clan tag and should stay identical throughout the tournament. If the nicknames given by the captain do not correspond to the nicknames being used, it will count as a smurf. No player may play more than once, except for the ace player.

If a player does not sign in after 15 minutes, the joker player must be ready to step in. The joker player can replace any player in any match according to captain decision. If no joker player is ready within 5 minutes after that, an automatic W.O. will take effect. The joker player is allowed to be an ace player, and can only replace one player. If a captain wants to send a joker, he whispers this to the referee before the actual set. The first three games are played simultaneously, the rest of the games played as they come unless captains wish otherwise.
