Format, fairness and audit

How the championship works

Format

  1. 90 qualifiers from the season's cycles are ranked by total points (then wins, score difference, fewer matches played, earliest qualification).
  2. They form 3 pots of 30: ranks 1–30, 31–60 and 61–90.
  3. A live seeded draw places them into 6 groups of 15: the top 6 seeds go to different groups, then every group receives exactly 5 players from each pot.
  4. Each player plays everyone in their group once: 14 matches, with fixtures and deadlines set by the admins.
  5. The top 10 in each group qualify. The 6 players finishing 11th are compared and the best 4 also advance, making the Round of 64.

Wildcard tiebreak order

Published with the championship.

Locked when the draw starts. Players still level on every criterion are decided by the admins and announced.

Draw integrity

The complete draw order is fixed from a random seed the moment the draw starts; picks are only revealed one at a time. The seed is published when the draw completes so anyone can re-run the algorithm and confirm the result. Undo only rewinds the reveal (the same player comes out again); a full restart discards the seed and is logged below with a reason.
