Gem Joust Tournament
11 am
Four round-robin pools will pull the top 2 from each pool to a single-elimination top 8 (best of three). In the pools, double kills are considered a loss for both participants. In the single-elimination format, bouts will be refought until there is a clear winner. Pending interest, there may be a C&T pool, but those that progress from said pool must default to standard unless C&T is agreed upon with your opponent.
Following the Gem Joust Tournament, the field opens for pickups until ~30 minutes before evening court.
