Top 8 will be single elimination. Matches in the top 8 are untimed.

Players will be matched within their respective pods for each round, disregarding overall standings. Deck building and matches will be timed.

Side event drafts will be available Saturday night as well as on Sunday afternoon for those not in the top 8.

There might also be some pre-show drafts Friday night – stay tuned!
