==Seeding==
Players were first split into two pots. The main determiner of the pot placement was a soft rating split of 1400. This means that all players in pot #2 must have a rating of 1400 or below as a prerequisite. There were other factors that determined players' placement as well, most notably whether the player is a long-time veteran of the game or not.
After the pools are set up, players from pool #2 will be seeded in a way that they are guaranteed to play one another for the first two rounds. Players from pool #1 will be seeded randomly after that.
