HOW DOES IT WORK?

Each qualifier will have 128 participants (512 participants worldwide). Each region will have their own bracket, and each bracket will run a single elimination, best-of-three mechanic.

Brackets will be built using Challonge.com which will assign matches at random.

Players will sign-up and, once their account has been checked, will:

Receive an email (sent from OSRSEsports@Jagex.com) and an inbox message to confirm participation.

Be invited to a Discord server for discussion and match-reporting purposes.

Participants will report their scores in the Discord server, and J-Mods will update the brackets accordingly.

The tournament will take place on no-save game worlds with access only allowed to Clan Wars, like the ones we've used for betas.

Only the account used to sign-up will able to play on these games worlds.

Every participant will have the same stats, will all be using Ancient Magicks, and will have a choice of two gear load-outs (the only difference is the special attack weapon).

CLICK HERE FOR A HANDY GUIDE OF HOW IT'LL WORK ONCE YOU'RE A CONFIRMED PARTICIPANT. Step 1 - Login to the world and interact with the benches by the Clan Wars portal. You can choose which gear you'd like to use, but you cannot change your stats. Step 2 - Choose whether you want your special attack weapon to be an Armadyl Godsword or Dragon Claws. The rune pouch contains runes for Ice Barrage, and there are plenty of them. Step 3 - Join your own account's Clan Chat. This is necessary because each fight occurs in the Clan Wars portal. Step 4 - Challenge your next opponent opponent in the bracket. Step 5 - Fight your opponent and report the score in the Discord server. Step 6 - If you win, proceed in the bracket to face your next opponent. If you lose, watch the rest of the action on Twitch!
