There will be no extensions in order to keep the tournament running. Please reach out to me if there were difficulties scheduling your match and I will making a ruling on who to assign the win & loss to. Players who were unable to play their match will still advance in the tournament (but please don’t intentionally skip rounds as this harms the experience for others).
There will be 4 rounds of Swiss total, before we move into the Top 8 Cut/Little Cup final bracket phase. Each Swiss bracket will be roughly 2 weeks in length to give players ample time to schedule and play their match.
