Update (7/7, 1:15 p.m.): The format for Gold and Silver has changed due to a player withdrawal. Seven players are now competing in the combined division. The revised tournament structure is in development and subject to change; however, Gold and Silver are likely to break down this way:
Round one losses will send three players to the Silver Division, which will be a round robin.
Round one wins will send three players to join one additional player, who will have a round one bye, in the Gold Division bracket. The Gold Division will be a double-elimination bracket.
At this point, the most important thing for Gold and Silver players to know is that they all must be on site by 8 a.m. to register and get organized. Games will begin at 8:30.
