    All events will be done in a format to maximize the number of games that you will get to play (e.g. at least double elimination).

    All scores will be entered into DUPR, either directly via utilising a supported tournament platform, or post-hoc by hand. If it happens by hand, players will be informed about it ahead of time and will be required to join a specific "club" in the DUPR software/app. As we are considering various platforms to reduce the cost and friction for participants before and during the event, please be mindful that DUPR entries might happen after the tournament has concluded.

    DUPR will be used to check the ratings of players for bracket eligibility. Cut-off dates will be provided once registration opens. Where appropriate, the tournament leadership team may undertake moderation of entries, but first will always communicate with the potentially affected player/team.

    More specific information on start times and other tournament details will be circulated once the registration period closes.
