- 24 player single elimination bracket (top 8 receive a Round 1 bye).

The game bank will be divided into three eras: OLD, MID, and NEW. Prior to each Head-to-Head matchup each player will select one game from each era. These are the only games available to them in their matchup unless Game 6 ends in a 3-3 tie. If this happens a one game tie breaker will be played. Any game not previously used in the round will be available for the tiebreaker.
