May 2025 - Participation Draw and Byes allocation - Done

Participation Draw

All fully registered teams (except MTLRD teams) are entered into a random draw:

• There will be a first draw with all Category-1 and Category-2 teams. Category-1 teams get "2 tickets in the hat", while Category-2 teams get "1 ticket in the hat". We will draw until all teams are picked. Teams will be placed as participants in the order picked, and once we run out of room in the participant slots, teams will go on the waiting list in the order they are picked.

• There will be a second draw with all Category-3 teams. Those teams will be added at the end of the list in the order they are drawn.

Byes allocation - 

To accommodate a 12-team double elimination format while respecting the integrity of the structure, this year’s Beast bracket will include four byes. These byes will occur at the beginning of the tournament, allowing four teams to advance directly to the second round of the upper bracket without playing an opening game.

The four byes will be assigned to 4 teams by random draw. This structure ensures fair competition while adhering to double elimination rules and accommodating all participating teams.

If a team doesn't win a participation slot in the draw, their registration fee will be reimbursed.
