Format and Schedule for Gold Club World Championship preview

The Tournament will start with an 8 Team Round Robin, and will finish with a double elimination playoff. No teams are eliminated during the Round Robin phase, but the top 4 finishers in the Round Robin will go to the upper bracket of the double elimination playoff, while the other 4 will start in the lower bracket.

The Round Robin Matches are Best of 2, while the playoff matches are all Best of 3 except for the Grand Finals, which is Best of 5.
