CSI Group Play Format… Teams Guaranteed 5 Matches*
Most team divisions will use the CSI Group Play format (the Elite Platinum division format may vary). Stage 1 is a group stage and Stage 2 is a single elimination final bracket. In Stage 1, teams are randomly drawn into 5 separate matches*, each consisting of 16-racks for 4-player teams. By rule of the AMOW, if your team does not complete Stage 1, then all team members may be suspended from AMOW events indefinitely. The teams that perform the best advance to Stage 2. All matches are handicapped using FargoRate. See the “TEAMS” section of this player guide for more detail. Also, read The CSI Group Play Format - A Comprehensive Guide for answers to common questions and misunderstandings regarding the format.
*Excluding factors beyond the control of AMOW such as forfeits, drop-out teams, no-shows, byes, etc.

Singles Match Times Extended to Two (2) Hours
In the past, Singles matches were scheduled for 90 minutes. While most matches are complete within 90 minutes, many do not. When this happens, subsequent matches, and ultimately the entire tournament, get delayed. Therefore, we are now scheduling singles matches for two (2) hours to allow sufficient time and provide a better experience for everyone. For any matches that still do not complete on time, CSI delayed progress rules, which can be found in the CSI Tournament Regulations, will be strictly enforced

Format Change for Singles Divisions
We want to have the opportunity to play in as many divisions as possible. To do that efficiently, it is important to complete one division before the next one begins. The end of a double elimination bracket takes too much time to complete for just a small number of people, causes match conflict, delays, and frustration for everyone. For example, when there are only four people remaining, it can take eight more hours to finish. To provide everyone the opportunity to play in multiple divisions, the format of all singles divisions will be slightly modified. The format will be double elimination down to the prize money rounds and then switch to single elimination. This will still allow plenty of play for everyone while also completing the divisions in a timely manner.
