Stage 1:
- Participants will enter a King of the Hill series. Progress through this series will be tracked individually. Players that achieve top 2 in each match, based on score, will stay in as a King. Players that achieve lower than top 2 in a match will be eliminated and cannot re-enter this particular tournament (but may enter others).
- Participants that reach 2 wins in a row will be awarded prizing
- Participants that reach 3 wins in a row will be invited to Stage 2 Finals. We will take the first 6 participants that confirm attendance to the Stage 2 Finals, and participants invited after this will be placed on a backup list. Participants on the backup list may enter Stage 2 Finals if an earlier confirmed participant drops out of Stage 2 Finals for the same tournament.
- Participants that reach 3 wins will then be dethroned for this particular tournament, to allow others to enter. These participants cannot re-enter this particular tournament.
- Matches will be Best-Of-1 (bo1)
- Participants in this Stage will enter a 3-round series of matches (NOT Best-Of-3). The scores from each match will be tallied up together, to determine final ranking based on combined scores.
- The first place participant will win prizes in addition to the Stage 1 prizing
