The CNPL Western Qualifier in Vernon will be a one-day event as opposed to a two-day event. This means a lot of gameplay in a single day.
Players should ensure they stay hydrated. Snacks will be provided, but you should also have a plan for food during the day.

Tournament Format
The goal of this event is to see as many different matchups as possible so that teams can analyze the data and see who they may want to draft for the 2024 season.
We will be playing a kings/queens court format. After each match, the winning team will move up a court and the losing team will move down a court. Each pair will split at this point so that players who were partners in the previous game are now opponents.
