Tournament

The preliminaries (Friday evening the 10th and Saturday the 11th (one day, in a time slot of two hours, per player) are played in groups of 4 people, you play best-of-five in games. This means that you have to win three games. Read more about the rules here.

The tournament will be played in time slots of approximately 2 hours. Only the knock-out system on Sunday from 10:00 am can take longer, but we expect the final to be played around 4:00 pm. If you qualify on Friday or Saturday, you will participate on the final day.

The final day (sunday the 12th) will start again (10:00 to 12:00) with groups of four, winners will continue to the knockout system. From this round (Sunday from 1:00 pm) you play a match in which the winner qualifies for the next round and the loser is unfortunately eliminated. This continues until the winner of the tournament is known.

You specify a preferred time when registering. We try to take this into account as much as possible. Company and friends teams are in any case assured of the same time slot of play (and location).
