Announcement



03.05.2023 The 2023 Women’s Online World Championship



Tournament Mode:


    Qualification Phase:
  • Qualifiers for each region: America.....Europe/Africa.....Asia/Australia/Oceania
  • Five Rounds of Round Robin or swiss system Format in each region.
  • All matches will be against opponents from the same region. 33%, rounded up, of the players from each region will qualify for the Final Phase.
  • At the conclusion of the five rounds, all players that have a 5-0 or 4-1 record will qualify for the Final Phase.
  • In addition, all players that finish 3-2 will be eligible to qualify for the Final Phase based on PR.
  • To determine how many qualify from each region take the total number of participants and divide by 3 and round up. For example: with 29 players from a region, 10 would qualify (29/3=9.67, which rounds up to 10).
  • If, in qualifying, there were 6 players that finished 5-0 or 4-1, four of the 3-2 players would be selected based on the lowest PR’s.
  • If, after counting the qualifiers for all regions, the number of qualifiers is an odd number, one more player will be added to the Final Phase.
  • That player will be determined by examining all the 3-2 players from the entire field that failed to qualify and taking the one with the lowest PR.

    • Final Phase:
  • Swiss system play combining all regions with double elimination.
