Players | Players can only qualify once. If a player is already qualified, the next highest placing non-qualified player receives the spot.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/PandaCup/status/1542250018920202240|title=Qualification rules}}</ref> If a qualified player declines to participate, the qualifying spot will be transferred to the next highest ranked player in the event in which the declining player competed who is not otherwise qualified, following the tiebreaker rules listed below. | ||
In the event {{Trn|Panda Cup Finale}} qualifying spots | In the event {{Trn|Panda Cup Finale}} qualifying spots require tiebreakers (for example, because one spot trickles down to 7th place, where there are two players), the following system is in place: | ||
* If one spot | * If one spot has two claimants: both tied players face-off in a best-of-five set. The winner of this set claims the Panda Cup Finale spot. | ||
* If one spot | * If one spot has three or more claimants: a single-elimination bracket of best-of-five sets is played out, seeded based on initial event seeding. The winner of this bracket claims the Panda Cup Finale spot. | ||
* If two spots | * If two spots have three or more claimants: a double-elimination bracket of best-of-five sets is set up. If the number of claimants is not a power of two (2, 4, 8, etc), the players with the lowest initial seedings begin in losers (leaving a power-of-two number of players in Winners). The players who make it to Grand Finals of this bracket claim the Panda Cup Finale spots. | ||
* If three spots | * If three spots have four or more claimants: a double-elimination bracket of best-of-five sets is set up. If the number of claimants is not a power of two (4, 8, etc), the players with the lowest initial seedings begin in losers (leaving a power-of-two number of players in Winners). The two players who make it to Winners Finals and the one player who makes it to Losers Finals of this bracket claim the Panda Cup Finale spots. | ||
