The organising committee reserves the right to amalgamate and divide events depending on the participant numbers.
Competition Format
Events will typically consist of a round-robin group format followed by a knockout stage. Each team will be guaranteed a minimum of 3 games in the round-robin format. All competition/events will start and take place on one day.
Play will commence from 9am each day and the medal ceremony will conclude the day at approximately 17:00. Due to scheduling complexities, it will not be possible to request that your matches take place at a certain time - competitors must be available from the start of play each day. Once your matches finish, please stick around and cheer on your fellow competitors throughout the rest of the competition.
​
Players must register and attend a competition briefing 15 minutes before the scheduled start of play. During this briefing, the exact competition structure will be explained for each event (number of points, knockout format).
Registration & Fees
Fees will be announced prior to registration opening.
