Players may choose when they want to do their matches -- you have three weeks to schedule your group-stage matches, so you may choose what times/days your matches occur.

The tournament format is Round Robin with 4-person groups, followed by a single elimination bracket.  Players are divided into groups of 4. All players in that group play each other.  The top 2 players in each group advance to the second stage (single elim).  Ties are broken by (1) number of wins vs tied participants, followed by (2) fastest time in the tournament.  

The semi-finals, finals, and bronze matches will be "best of 3" -- a player must win 2 races against their opponent (so either 2 or 3 races will be played).
