Finals
Stage 1- Round Robin Pool Stage
Players are placed into eight (8) randomly selected pools of eight (8) players and play one Strike 3 match against each
player in their pool; seven matches in total. Based on total wins within their pool over the seven matches played, four
players will progress from each pool to a Top 32 Knockout Finals Stage. If there is a tie in any pool for the final position

position. First will play 32nd etc. and players will play two Strike 3 matches.
If one player wins both matches, they automatically move to the next round. If the players are tied one all after the two
matches, a Golden Strike will determine the winner. Players will play one frame at a time, alternating lanes, until one
player strikes in a frame when the other doesn't to determine the winner. The player listed on the right lane will start this
phase of the match.
The winners continue to move through each knockout round until a final is played between the remaining two players to
determine the tournament winner. This format will be used for all matches, including the final.
