Red Bull Strijders 2021 – Rocket League Format
This event will feature a pretty standard layout with regards to its format. The 16 teams of duos participating will take on each other in a single round-robin format for its group stage. This means that each team will have to play versus all the teams in the group. 3 points will be awarded for a win, and 0 points will be given for a loss.
If teams are tied in the group stage, the following will be taken in consideration to determine which team advances to the next stage: Total points earned from wins, Results from a H2H (head to head) game, Total number of goals, and RD (Round difference). If after all these outliers, these teams are still tied, a match will be played between the two to settle who advances.
After the group stage is concluded, the event moves onto an offline setting at GMR’s studio setup. Here we’ll have the top 4 teams from the group stage play in the final phase of the tournament.
Important to bear in mind that the players themselves are responsible for inputting all scores during the tournament.
