Ignition Cup
Stage One
The Ignition Cup is VRML's Second Orion Drift Tournament in collaboration with Another Axiom! We were so excited to have so many teams sign up for the Pioneer Cup, with 200+ teams signing up. We expect the Ignition Cup to be even bigger. This tournament is regionally split, so the information will depend on your region. The Ignition Cup starts with a Swiss-style qualifier bracket for each region that will be played on Saturday, May 31st, and Sunday, June 1st, depending on the number of teams that register.
Saturday: Swiss Style Qualifier Bracket
All teams that have signed up for the Ignition Cup will participate in this Swiss-style bracket. Respectively, their regions and teams will be randomly assigned to the bracket and play through a pre-determined number of rounds once the bracket has been generated. Teams are expected to play through the tournament to determine the best seeding for the next stage in the Ignition Cup. This tournament will begin at times that are appropriate for their regions.
A roll call will be held via Discord one hour before the start to confirm that the teams that signed up are ready to compete.
