It takes two losses to be knocked out. One bad match won't end your run.

Everyone starts here. Win your match and you advance.

Lose once and you drop to the second-chance bracket. Keep winning there and you can fight all the way back to the final.

Lose again in the Losers bracket and you're eliminated.

You're paired head-to-head with one opponent. Play as many times as you like before the round closes - only your best score counts. The higher score advances.

Every round runs its full window, so you can keep improving right up to the deadline. A run still in progress when the clock hits zero does not count - finish it in time. Miss the deadline entirely and you forfeit the match.

The last unbeaten player from the Winners bracket faces the survivor of the Losers bracket for the title.

XP is awarded by final position when the tournament ends.
