The tournament:
The tournament will be setup with a bracket system. Each player that enters into the tournament will be put in a random generator resulting in completely random brackets.
After every game in the first rounds have been played, the points will be added up. The top two players from each group will proceed to the next bracket. After the next games have been decided, the remaining players can choose with their opponents if they want to play their games in a Best-of three format or a Best-of one format. The semi-finals will automatically be a best-of three game, and the finals will be a best-of five.

First place: 1x Party crate, 2x Loot crates, 5x Freedays, 1x $10 USD Steam Wallet AND a Custom In-Game icon! (Used when using text chat in Jailbreak/TTT)
Second place: 2x Loot crates, 5x Freedays.
Third place: 1x Loot crate, 3x Freedays.

If you have asked your opponent who you'll have to play against when you want to play, Please let a host know!
We will edit the scores in the bracket asap when the games are played.
How this bracket works, is you can pick a Best of 1 // Best of 3 game against your opponent.
The loser will be placed in the losers bracket where they will have 1 more chance of continuing.
If they fail again in the losers bracket they will be out definitely.
Additional information:
v All games will be played on lichess.org
v Sides will be picked randomly.
v Each player will have 10 minutes of playing time in each game. (10 + 2)
(Additional time can be given in game if your opponent feels confident 😊)
v Games will be played on specific time stamps in which both players will agree on.
