• The player’s position in the final tournament is predetermined by their final position from the open tournament rankings. These qualifying positions are each players’ SEEDING for the remainder of the Final Tournament play.
• The winner of each round is determined by the best 2 out of 3 games played. The player with the highest seed chooses the first game, the second game is chosen by the second player, and the third game again is chosen by the player with the highest seed. The player choosing the game to compete on will play first, and then the second player has the advantage of playing last.<o></o>
• The games the players compete on will be determined by the highest seeded of the two player groups choosing first out of the available games at the time the players are to compete against each other. The next highest seeded two player group will choose next, and so on until all groups have chosen a game for that round to compete on. If 2 groups choose the same game to compete on then the lower seeded group will have to wait until the higher seeded group finishes their game first.

Thanks and have a good day
