The season 19 tournament will be open to all World League and Pro League teams.
adjusted the prizes from flex to cash
This will be a 64-team tournament with two stages. The Group stage will be round-robin play with the top two teams from each of 16 groups advancing to the Knock-out stage. Groups will be determined on day 0. Groups will be determined using last season's Matrix Rankings (http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4204724). The top 64 teams entered will make the field.
**Groups may be altered to prevent teams from within the same region/conference from playing in the Group stage**
Each win is worth 3 points. Each tie is worth 1 point.
Tie-breakers in the Group stage will be total points in group play, point differential in group play, points allowed in group play (in that order).
Group winners will go into the bracket seeded 1-16 and the second place finishers will be seeded 17-32. Teams will be seeded based on point differential, but there will be adjustments made to attempt to even out the bracket. The bracket is single elimination with a 3rd/4th place game.
Prizes
Prize Pool: some sort of cash prize
1st place - GOLD Trophy
2nd place - SILVER Trophy
3rd place - BRONZE Trophy
The tournament schedule will be posted when the Group stage matches are announced.
