I am looking for 64 players for this tournament.

As multiple games will be played at once this tournament is open to premium members only.

This tournament is all about winning games - there are no points for any other finishing place.

In each round you will play 8 games. The number of wins you achieve in each round are converted into points. As the tournament field reduces, some players will be placed into 7 and 6 player games. More points are awarded for winning an 8 player game versus 7 & 6 player games so it's important to try and stay as high in the standings as possible. For example if there are 31 players left then the top 24 will be split into 3 groups of 8 and one group of 7. See scoring below.

In round 1 the 64 players will be randomly split into 8 groups. All players that fail to win at least one game will be eliminated.

In rounds 2 & 3, all remaining players will be split into groups of 6-8 players. At the end of the round a minimum of 25% (plus ties) of the field will be eliminated. This will be the bottom 25% (plus ties) of the field plus any other players who would be unable to catch the tournament leader by the end of the following round. A minimum of 16 players must remain.

In round 4, only the top 8 at the end of the round will progress to the final. If at the end of round 4 the tournament leader cannot be caught by the end of round 5 then they will be declared the winner.

The winner will be the player with the most points won through all 5 (or 4) rounds.
