Cup Match Format
Organizers will set different formats for each stage, such as Quarterfinals of BO1, Semifinals of BO3, and Finals of BO5.
Multiple teams can register for the Cup Match, and after the event starts, a random drawing will determine matchups.
In the process of participating, if a team faces elimination in any round, they will be out of the competition with no chance for revival, until a team consistently wins and becomes the Champion.
The Tournament format builds upon the Cup Match by introducing group round-robin and double elimination rounds. Currently, the Tournament is solely hosted by AOF officials. Each season features a Tournament event with substantial CP rewards for the victorious teams.Registration Rules
A minimum of 32 teams is required to register for the tournament.
Team members must have either a Pioneer Avatar NFT or a ticket to participate in the tournament.
Players with Avatar NFTs do not require tickets.
When registering for the Tournament, a ticket is required if the player doesn’t hold any NFTs.
Tournament Format
The Tournament format builds upon the Cup Match by introducing group round-robin and double elimination rounds.
When teams participate in the Tournament, they are initially grouped randomly by the system, with each group consisting of four teams. In these groups, teams engage in a single round-robin battle.
Each team is required to compete against the other teams within their group exactly once, and the format of these matches is determined by the AOF officials, which can be BO1, BO3, or BO5.
After all group matches are completed, the system ranks the teams within each group based on their round-robin scores.
Tournament Advancement
Teams ranking top in their groups advance to the second stage.
In the second stage of the Tournament, the official has the flexibility to choose between a single-elimination or double-elimination format(the single-elimination format is the same as the Cup Match).
Double Elimination Round
The double-elimination round is tentatively composed of 8 teams. During this stage, the First Lose Round will determine winners and losers. Teams that win in this round will advance to the winners’ bracket, while those that lose will move to the losers’ bracket.
The winning team from the winner’s bracket proceeds to the next round of the winner’s bracket matches, while the losing team enters the second stage of matches in the loser’s bracket.
In the first round of the losers’ bracket, teams that lost in the First Loss Round will compete in another round. Teams that lose again in this round will be eliminated, while the winning teams will advance to the second stage of the loser’s bracket. In this stage, they will participate in a revival match against the teams that lost in the first round of the winner’s bracket. The winning team from the revival match will move on to the second round of the loser’s bracket, and the losing team will be eliminated.
The two teams from the winners’ and losers’ brackets will advance to the Grand Finals and compete for the Champion and Runner-up.
