The tournament consists of 6 rounds of Head - to - Head matchups.

Each time a player wins, they advance to the next round. It is the player's responsibility to check the bracket to find their next game.

A player that wins but does not make picks in the next round will be eliminated. No exceptions.

Seeding

Players will be seeded 1-16 based on where they finish in their Play-In game. 

Players will be informed of their seeding and their first game.

Multiple entries

Players may have up to 2 entries out of the 64 entries in the bracket.  The 2 entries will be on the opposite sides of the bracket.  The two entries would not meet until the finals.  If a player with two entries advances both entries to the finals, then the player wins the contest!  Most deservingly!
