This year's tournament is being structured a bit differently. Instead of traditional pool play, we are using a modified Swiss tournament system.

For the first round, teams are first matched up with similarly-seeded teams. Then, winners play winners and losers play losers in round 2. And then teams are matched up with similar-performing teams in future rounds. After five rounds, teams are seeded into a traditional 8-team knockout tournament.

As some teams are referring to it, this tournament is a "quick sort algorithm" to determine the best teams.

Best of luck to all of the teams! There should be some excellent matches this year!
