Teams have been segmented into groups based on regional performance at Masters 1. With the addition of Vietnam, the creation of a third pool was necessary to act as a small, play-in pool.
How does the playoffs work?
All teams will be drawn into a ten-team, double elimination bracket with the added rule of not allowing two teams from the same region to be on the same side of the bracket. This allows players and viewers to experience as many region vs. region match-ups as possible during these events.
The upper side of the bracket is best of three up to the winners final, while the lower bracket is Best of one s for the first three rounds, followed by the Best of three to the losers final, eventually concluding with a Best of 5 grand final.
This Challengers will offer a mix of both circuit points and also prize money from a prize pool of $50,000
