COMPETITIVE FORMAT

Group Stage – August 15 to 17

During the Group Stage, teams are split in 4 groups of 4 and compete in a Best-of-1 double round robin format, where each team plays all the other teams in their group twice. The point attribution system is as follows:

• A win is worth 3 points.
• An overtime win is worth 2 points.
• An overtime loss is worth 1 point.
• A loss is worth 0 points.

The 4 teams from each region were seeded based on their final rankings in their respective regional leagues and playoffs. Each group was then created to have one representative from each region with only one seed per group.

At the end of the Group Stage, the 2 teams with the most points in each group will advance to the Playoffs.

Playoffs & Grand Final – August 19 to 21

The playoffs will feature 8 teams in a single elimination bracket where the quarter finals and semifinals will be played in Best-of-3 matches, with the winner advancing and the loser eliminated from the competition.

The Grand Final will take place on August 21 and will be a Best-of-5 match to decide the winner of the Six Berlin Major!
