This tournament will consist of three rounds of Swiss, followed by an elimination bracket. All players with a record of 3-0 or 2-1 will advance to the elimination bracket.
All rounds will be one week long, and each round will be posted in this thread.
Even though they are ineligible for the bracket, players at 0-2 of Swiss will still be paired. Playing these games is still encouraged, but if you do not wish to play your 0-2 game, please inform your opponent.
All rounds are best of 3. Players are permitted to change their teams between rounds and between games in each round.
