Prior to the start of each game, the tournament coordinator will present a draw bag to the players of each game, that will contain the six cones of silence. Each player will pull one cone of silence at a time until he/she has pulled two of the same. That will determine which player plays which faction for that game.
Rules disputes - The tournament coordinator will be the decisive factor in all rules disputes.
The Tournament will be held in a bracket, single elimination, advance and win format. Each player will be sent a digital format of the bracket once it is complete via e-mail. In addition, there will be a poster board displayed at the tournament site with a visual of the bracket.
