Hello,
The next season of @MAcFiT starts this coming Friday. Three group stage matches will be played over the weekend (June 28-30).
24 players have been divided into 6 groups. In each group 4 participants play single round robin. Two best players from each group plus 4 best players from 3rd places, will advance to the playoffs. The play-offs brackets are explained at the bottom. Here are the groups and order of play:

Play-offs
The brackets for the Round of 16 will be formed in an usual way. After the group phase, an additional table will be created based on:
- Place in the group phase (6 players from 1st places, followed by 6 players from 2nd places, followed by 4 best players from 3rd places)
- Points won
- Total score
- Ranking before the season
Next, the best player will be matched with the 16th, the 2nd with the 15th ... and finally the 8th with 9th. It is possible that players from the same group meet again in the round of 16.
In subsequent rounds, the four best players from round 1 would meet each other in the semifinals at the earliest.
In all play-offs rounds a single match decides the winner.
Schedule
Round of 16: Wednesday, July 3
Quarterfinals: Saturday, July, 6
Semifinals: Wednesday, July 10
Final and 3rd place match: Saturday, July, 13
