The e-Lig University Series kicked off last weekend with 24 players competing in the Open series and only three ladies taking part in the All-Ladies competition.

The e-Lig series is a competition involving six University teams with each University bringing in 4 participants (Open series) and 1 participant (All-Ladies series). The competition is divided into four conferences with each University presenting a player in each of the conference.

PLAY-OFFS

The e-Lig series sees top two in each conference qualify for the quarterfinals whereas each position finish from each conference moves straight for position playoff. For example, if player A finishes 3^rd in Conference A, he or she will meet all players who finished position 3 in each of the conferences to play for ranking positions (9^th – 12^th). This goes on for all other group stage position.

Position 1-2 in each conference qualify for main cup quarterfinals

Position 3 in each conference qualify for (9^th-12^th) playoffs

Position 4 in each conference qualify for (13^th-16^th) playoffs

Position 5 in each of the conference qualify for (17^th-20^th) playoffs

Position 6 in each of the conference qualify for (21^st-24^th) playoffs

POINTS AWARDING SYSTEM

The e-Lig University series uses a reverse point ranking system where the total number of players represents the amount of total points gained in each of the series tournament. The e-Lig series has 24 participants and thus the winner of the tournament gets 24 points whereas the last placed player gets 1 point.
