The tournament, like many ESD hosts, is done with an ABDraw format. The format relies on creating parity among teams by splitting the group into two pools based on ability. Teams are drawn, one player from each pool. This will prevent any Super Teams getting drawn together. Players new to the league will be placed in a pool based on whatever information is available. Other league stats, tournament performance, or general assessment of ability can be used to determine pool assignment.

Space is limited to around 48 entries for the sake of time and space. Online registration is now available through the image below.



No Call No Shows will be banned from future events and the Tournament Director's discretion
