How a tournament works

  1. 01

    Qualification

    Seeded 1-vs-1 fights decide who reaches the final. About 3 wins usually guarantee a place.

  2. 02

    Repechage

    A second chance for teams that lost in qualification. Several of the best advance to the final — the head judge announces how many before the start. A loss here means elimination.

  3. 03

    Final

    Elimination fights by the bracket decide the podium and the top five teams.
