Team Trios Explained
How Team Trios Works
Team Trios is a competitive tournament format where teams of three players compete in three individual matches.
Each player is assigned a specific seat and format. That player is paired against the player occupying the same seat on the opposing team.
Individual matches are played best-of-three. The first team to win two of the three individual matches wins the overall team round.
Players may not change seats or formats once the tournament begins, so choose your lineup carefully and lock in!
