Championship Bracket
- The Championship Bracket is a Best of 5 Game Match, Double Elimination Bracket.
- Each Match will consist of 3 Total Conquest and 2 Attack & Defend Games.
- After losing a Match, Teams will fall into the Losers Bracket.
- A Match loss in the Losers Bracket will result in elimination from the Event.
- Teams eliminated by way of Losers Bracket Rounds 1-2 must play 1 Consolation Match to determine their exact 5th-8th Ranking. These Consolation Matches will be played on Saturday.
- Teams will be seeded using their Pro/Semi-Pro Status Ranking.
- The higher seeded Team must choose to act as the higher or lower Seed for the purpose of Host choice. The higher seeded Team must choose 1 Game to Host. Then, the lower seeded Team must choose 2 Games to Host. The higher seeded Team must Host the other 2 Games. Teams may request that they be allowed to give up their hosting privileges for 1 or more Games. The opposing Team can then accept or reject the opportunity to Host that Game(s).
- If Teams meet for a 2nd time in the Championship Bracket their Match will expand to a Best of 11, include the previous Match, and pick up where that Match left off. For example, if Team A beat Team B 3 Games to 0 in the Winners Bracket, the Best of 11 will resume with Game 4 and Team A leading 3 Games to 0. If Games 4 and/or 5 of the Winners Bracket Match were not played, they must be played first with Host for each Game going to the Team that would’ve hosted in the Winners Bracket. The Team that won the first Match must choose to Host or not Host the 11th Game, if necessary. Host for Games 6-10 will be chosen in the opposite manner in which Host was chosen in the Winners Bracket (See Championship Bracket Rule #7).
- If Teams in a Best of 11 Game Match are scheduled to play a Game Type they have already played against each other in the Championship Bracket, another Game Type will be chosen by the League Commissioner.
- If the Teams meeting in the Finals have not yet faced each other in the Championship Bracket and the Team coming from the Losers Bracket wins a Match, the Winners Bracket Finals Game Types must be played in order to break the tie since both Teams would only have one Match loss. Before the start of the Finals, the Team without a Match loss must choose to have higher Seed hosting privileges for the Finals or Winners Bracket Finals set of Game Types (See Championship Bracket Rule #7).
