Group Match Example, Team A vs Team B Set 1 - SFV: Champion vs Champion - Team A wins Set 2 - T7: Champion vs Champion - Team A wins Set 3 - UNIST: Champion vs Champion - Team B wins Match Result: Team A - 2 points, Team B - 1 point Ruling on Tie Scores In the event of a tie score, we will look at the matchup between the two teams during the group stage.

Featured Game #3, Best-of-5, champion vs champion Each Best-of-5 set win is worth one (1) point for the team and the first team to four (4) points wins the match. After 6 sets, if the match is tied with each team having three (3) points each, the match enters “Overtime”, where the teams will play a Best-of-3 set in Featured Game #3 to determine the match-winner. Determining Order of Featured Games To determine which featured game (SFV, T7, or UNIST) will be first, second, or third, the two teams will participate in a coin-flip at the beginning of each match, where each team will either choose “heads” or “tails.” The winning team of the coin-flip will choose one of the featured games to be played either first OR last. The losing team of the coin-clip will determine the order of the remaining two featured games. Format Examples Example 1: Team A wins the coin flip, picks SFV as the first game (Featured Game #1). Team B then chooses UNIST as the 2nd game (Featured Game #2) and Tekken as the last game (Featured Game #3). Set 1: Team A wins SFV 3-0 (Team A leads match 1-0) Set 2: Team B wins UNIST 3-2 (Match tied 1-1) Set 3: Team B wins Tekken 3-0 (Team B leads match 2-1) Set 4: Team A wins SFV 3-1 (Match tied 2-2) Set 5: Team A wins UNIST 3-2 (Team A leads match 3-2) Set 6: Team A wins Tekken 3-2 (Team A wins match 4-2) Example 2: Team B wins the coin flip, picks Tekken as the last game (Featured Game #3).
