Can you confirm the check in time for Sunday as well? Also, what time are players expected to play til for both days?

I sincerely hope this structure has been figured out. Hearing that games changed to a bo1 midway through the bracket at acl melb was just o.O

The simple answer is Sunday's time depends on the progression of pool brackets but most likely the same as ACL Melbourne, around 9am.

The longer answer is if we progress well we have every chance to finish pool play on Saturday and then not be required until 11am on Sunday. Ultimately it depends on progression and will be communicated on Saturday. Players will be expected to play until we reach an appropriate place in the schedule of the tournament vs a specific time.

I appreciate changing a format is not ideal but it was at a point where if we didn't take drastic actions we risked not finishing the event or running extremely late on Sunday. With a more controlled open bracket and alterations to how open bracket play will be conducted this should not be an issue.
