The tournament will be a best of five at every stage of the tournament.

The factions will be randomized and everyone will receive a pool of 4 factions. Participants may only use factions from within their pool.

The tournament will be "use it, lose it"-style. Faction pools are reset when a participant has used all their factions or when the round has finished.

This means that players will have their full pools available for last match (5th match) if there is one. In such a case, both player ban 2 factions of their opponent's pool. First top-bracket bans 1 faction, then the other bans 1 faction and then repeat.
Then they pick factions as usual. Map for the last match is always Nemetocenna.
