STRUCTURE:
There are two stages: Swiss rounds, leading into a Best-of-3 elimination bracket.
In the Swiss Stage, once per week, players will be paired with competitors of similar records in 1 vs. 1 race matchups.
There will be five Swiss rounds.
After all Swiss rounds are completed, 16 players will advance to the Bracket Stages. All undefeated players will be slotted into the Bracket Stage first, then 1-loss players, then 2-loss players, etc.
If there are more players of identical win/loss records than there are slots remaining in the Bracket Stage, those players will participate in a group "play-in" race, with top finishers in the race claiming the remaining slots in order of play-in race result, advancing to the Bracket Stage.
Bracket Stage players will complete a 1 vs. 1 Best-of-3 series each week to determine advancement, until a winner is decided. Brackets will all be Best-of-3.
