Schedule
The championship will be held from Friday 29 to Sunday 31 January 2027. Each player will participate in SIX matches, playing against a different opponent after each match.
Tournament Format
- In the first round, players will be randomly distributed (unless they have Teto).
- After this, in each round, players ranked 1st and 2nd (based on points) will play against each other, 3rd against 4th, and so on.
- Exception: You can never play against the same player twice. If this occurs, a commissioner must be notified to arrange matches against opponents of similar caliber, except in the final round on tables 1 and 2, where the Tournament Champion, Runner-up, and League Champion trophies will be decided.

Injuries
All injuries suffered by team players during matches, including death, disappear at the end of each encounter. In other words, the team is rebuilt. Nonetheless, Doctors are useful for recovering injured and even unconscious players during the match.
Refereeing
All players should keep in mind that this type of event serves to play our favorite game and meet people different from those we play during a weekend. Seeking "champions" is a byproduct of this situation-what is really sought is to enjoy the game. The biggest source of friction is usually rules, so in case of doubt, the rules will be consulted, and if the rulebook does not cover a certain aspect, the tournament referees will have the final word and players must accept their decisions.
It is the players' responsibility to remember and control the following situations:
- Bone Head, Really Stupid, Take Root, Animal Savagery rolls…
- Monitor illegal placements or deployments and excess numbers of players on the field.
Whenever possible, play will return to the situation or point where the roll was forgotten within the same turn. However, if the situation is detected after scoring a Touchdown and collecting the scoring players, the Touchdown will be valid in all respects.
