Each player will play the other members of their group once in a round robin format. This means that each player will play 4 games at this stage. Players will get 2 points for a win and 1 point for a loss. The top two seeds of each of the 16 groups will advance to the bracket stage whereby 32 players will be left standing.

4.Game Play
A. All games are expected to be rated and recorded. We expect the victors of each match to then post these recorded games on the tournament section of the PK forum.
B. If a bug is identified or a disconnection occurs in the first two (2) minutes of a game, the match may be restarted if both players agree to do so, not more then once per player/per match. In the event section 4.B is not met, match games are to be reviewed and approved by a member of the tournament staff.
C. If a disconnection occurs later on in the game, the tournament staff may adjudicate and thus award a victory to the player that appeared to be winning. Otherwise, a close game without an obvious winner may be restarted based upon the decision of the tournament staff.
D. Players are not permitted to play the winning civilization twice in a row. This applies to matches in Bracket Stage I, Bracket Stage II, Quarter-Final, Semi-Final and Final games
E. In the event of a dispute or a level of deliberation that is determined by the tournament staff to be excessively indecisive, players may be forced into using the civilization described as their preferred civilization on their application form. This proceeding is not preferred. Should this proceeding go through, record will be kept on the (Two) players in dispute for the following matches.
5.Disqualifications
A. If you suspect your opponent has some sort of unfair external advantage (i.e., cheats, hacks, map visibility, trainers, etc.), finish the game and submit it for review with an explanation of why you think the game was unfair. If the tournament staff members find someone to be guilty of cheating, the cheater will be disqualified from the tournament and reported.
B. If a player repeatedly disconnects from games, disqualification may be considered.
C. Accounts used in the tournament must be used by one person, is sole owner of the account, and must be the main account of the registrant for proper seeding. Tempering with this decree will result in an immediate disqualification and undeviating removal from ESO, PK and correlated sites.
