Format
The tournament features a Group Stage followed by a Championship and Consolation single-elimination brackets. All games are 10+5.
In the Group Stage, players are divided into four groups of four players. Each group plays a single round-robin, with participants playing a two-game match against every other player in their group. If a match ends in a tie, players contest a 3+5 game, with the player with the highest accuracy score starting with White. Players keep swapping colors and playing 3+5 games until a decisive game decides the winner. Players receive 3 points for an outright match win, 2 points for winning a match in the tiebreaks, 1 point for losing the match in the tiebreaks, and 0 points for losing a match without tiebreaks.
In the Championship and Consolation brackets, matches consist of two games and tiebreakers are the same as the Group Stage.
