Each member will play every other member in their group twice (back-to-back or different times are acceptable). Each match will consist of best-of-five games. Each game will be best-of-five fights.

Sign-ups will be locked on January 10th and the first round will commence on January 14th. Competitors will have two weeks to complete all of their Group Stage match-ups. The Knock-Out Stage will commence on February 4th. Competitors will have four days to complete their matches in each round.
