QUALIFYING ROUNDS

The Dofus Qualifier begins with Swiss rounds qualifier with all teams.

During the rounds, the draft letter for each match is determined as follows: if a team had less often the choice than its opponent in its previous matches, then it has the letter choice for the match. If both teams had so much choice in their previous matches, then the letter choice is randomly assigned.

A victory earns 3 Tournament Points, a draw earns 1 Tournament Point, a defeat earns no Tournament Points. Additional Points are also distributed as defined in the general regulations.

The classification criteria are in order of priority: Tournament Points > Percentage of Victory of Opponents encountered (PVA) > Additional Points > Direct result between the teams > Best team defeated.

PLAYOFFS

The 32 best teams in qualifiers are qualified in playoffs, which are played in single and double elimination.

From the quarter-final onwards, losing teams move into the Loser Bracket. If teams lose in the Loser Bracket, they are eliminated.

The confrontations are played in 2 winning matches (BO3). The highest-ranked team in qualifiers has the draft letter choice in games 1 and 3, the other team has it in game 2. Drafts are made as games go on and not all at the beginning. Drafts for games 2 and 3 must be thrown within 10 minutes of the end of the previous game, without possible delay.

A BO5 grand final takes place between the winners of the Winner and Loser Bracket. The team from the Winner Bracket starts the confrontation with a score of 1-0.
