This tournament will follow a dual-division format, with Male and Female creators competing separately until the final stage.

Division Structure (Applies to Both Male & Female Brackets):

Each division will run independently through the same stages:

Qualifiers – Creators compete within their division to earn placement

Playoffs – Top performers advance into bracket-style matchups

Semi-Finals – Remaining creators compete to secure a spot in the division finals

Division Finals – The top two creators in each division battle to determine:

Male Division Champion

Female Division Champion

Grand Final:

The Male Champion and Female Champion will face off in a head-to-head final battle to determine the Overall Tournament Winner (Boys vs. Girls Champion)

Final Placement:

1st Place: Winner of the Grand Final (Overall Champion)

2nd Place: Runner-up of the Grand Final

3rd Place: Determined between the two Semi-Final runner-ups, based on:

Total wins across qualifiers and playoffs. Overall tournament performance. There is only one person per selected per cash prize not 1 person per gender.

TOURNAMENT RULES

7-Day Qualifiers: One scheduled battle each night. Best 3/5. You need 4 wins to make playoffs.

Playoffs: Win and advance. Lose and you’re out.

No-Shows: Automatic ejection — no exceptions.

During Battle: The tournament is only between you and the creator you’ve been paired with for battle. During this time it should only be 1v1, no additional creators/supporters and no boxes are permitted. A loss will be given to anyone violating this rule and possible removal from the tournament altogether.

Refs: Look for the badge. They track wins and losses.

Conduct: Keep it respectful and sportsmanlike during all interactions. Any form of harassment or unsportsmanlike behavior = immediate removal.

All times are posted in EST.

Battle Time Changes:

If a creator requests a new battle time, both opponents must agree to the change for it to be approved. If an agreement cannot be reached, the original scheduled battle time will remain in place. The affected creator may either attend the scheduled battle or forfeit.

Grace Period Notice: Allow a 10-minute window before reporting a no-show. After that, refs award the win.

All 7 nights of qualifiers are required even if you have 4 wins. Any “no shows” will result in automatic removal.
