Tournament Details:

- This is a 64-person Single Elimination Knockout Tournament with a Consolation Bracket. What does that mean? Regardless of if you win or lose your first match, you're still in the MONEY. If you lose your first match, you move into a 32-person consolation bracket. Any loss thereafter results in elimination.

- There are two divisions available, Intermediate and Advanced. Intermediate competitors are allowed to sign up for both, but because spaces are limited to 64 in each, I would urge you to only sign up for both if you have ample time/availability. Advanced players are not allowed to compete in the Intermediate division.

Eligibility for D1 Advanced and D2 Intermediate:

- D1 Advanced is open to ALL competitors.

- D2 Intermediate is only open to competitors who have yet to place in the Top 16 of a FULL LENGTH Singles Season.

- Once a competitor has won 2 Intermediate Division titles or 1 Advanced Division title, they will also not be eligible for future Intermediate Divisions.

- NOTE: You ARE PERMITTED to sign up for BOTH divisions if eligible to compete in the Intermediate Division, but please be sure to have the flexible availability to schedule matches in both divisions if you choose to do that.

Tournament Schedule:

Now through May 8: Sign-ups for both the Intermediate and Advanced Knockout Divisions. The next Knockout will start up in August so sign up now!

May 10 - May 26: Round of 64. Failure to complete the match by May 26 will result in a forfeit.

For each round, you will have 2 weeks to schedule your next match. After 3 weeks, a double forfeit will occur. NYSA recommends you be proactive in reaching out to your opponents as soon as you advance onto the next round.

NOTES:

a) This is managed SEPARATELY from any Singles League.

b) NYSA strongly recommends joining the discord server to aid in scheduling your matches.

c) DO NOT PROCRASTINATE.

d) Match Format will be a 16-frame walking game with a color switch halfway.
