Qualification round — an additional stage in which participants are divided into pairs and play for entry into the group stage. The match is best of 1. The winner of the match advances to the group stage; the loser goes to reserve, i.e., as a substitute (during the group stage, a substitute player will have the opportunity to take the place of a withdrawn or disqualified player).
Group stage — groups of 6 people each. Players who take the first 4 places advance from the group to the Play-off round. (In case the number of registered participants exceeds 30, this point of the regulations will be adapted to the number of participants).
The main criterion for advancing from the group is the number of points earned (3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss). If several players earn the same number of points, additional indicators come into play (in order of priority):

c) Total number of game turns in games where the player won (priority is given to the player who spent fewer turns to win. Point “c” applies only if players have the same number of wins in the group).
d) If it is impossible to give priority based on additional indicators a, b, c, a tie-breaker game is held between the players on the Skirmish M 200% template.

Play-offs — upper and lower brackets.
In the upper bracket, games are best of 2. In the lower bracket, games are best of 1 up until the final. The lower bracket final is best of 2.
