Two Groups of Four Followed by a Final

      Planning process

      The organizer creates two groups of four. Each group plays six matches, and the worked record gives first-listed players 1–0 wins. After both group tables are verified, one qualifier from each enters the generated knockout final.

      Result explanation

      The group stage has twelve matches and the final adds one, for thirteen played matches. Four tables can handle four group matches per wave across three group rounds. A separate final wave follows only after qualifiers are confirmed.

      Alternative

      Use the full eight-player league if equal opponent coverage matters more than a shorter program.

      Execution notes

      Publish group allocation and tie-break rules before play. Do not choose a qualifier from an unresolved tied first place without the announced process.
