The GNOT National Qualifying will be run online (on RealBridge) over a 3 day weekend (Friday September 20th through Sunday September 22nd). Players who are not familiar with RealBridge will be offered some training. The format of this event will be similar to last year’s face-to-face finals. However, 64 teams will be targeted rather than 60. As was the case previously, the event will run as a knockout with the losing teams moving into a Swiss repechage. There will be FOUR stanzas per day with each stanza comprising 12 boards. Each knockout match will be over two stanzas. Each match in the Swiss will be 12 boards. The TWO teams that have not been knocked out at the conclusion of the FIFTH round will not be required to play the last two stanzas, as they will progress to the phase 3 knockout event (see below). The TWO teams that were knocked out in the FIFTH round will join the Swiss. At the conclusion of the Swiss, the top TWO placed teams will progress to the phase 3 knockout event (see below). The next EIGHT highest placed non-metropolitan teams will progress to the phase 3 round robin event (see below). Those teams/regions designated to be non-metropolitan are listed below. To accommodate all time zones the first match will commence at 11AM AEST and the fourth stanza should finish by 5:35PM AEST. Teams may comprise 4, 5 or 6 players. The entry fee per team will be $300. | |
