*Structure:
The tournament has a unique, single-elimination, bracket-style format modeled after college basketball tournaments. Win a match and advance to the next round; win six matches and be crowned champion.
Players are divided into four brackets – Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, and Spades – and advance by winning a heads-up match against their randomly drawn opponent. The structure of the brackets then determines every match thereafter. The semifinals are comprised of one player from each bracket, with the winner of the Spades bracket playing the winner of the Clubs bracket, and the winner of the Hearts bracket matched up against the winner of the Diamonds bracket. A best-of-three final match then determines which of the two finalists is crowned champion.
For the first round, each player’s seat will be picked randomly. A definite schedule will be fixed for each match for the first round which will be on Sunday, April 20, 6pm onwards. Then the other matches will follow through according to the brackets given.
The succeeding matches will be on the championship day, which is on April 26, 2008
