Brass Birmingham will be the default version of the game played in this tournament.

Brass: Birmingham is an economic strategy game sequel to Martin Wallace's 2007 masterpiece, Brass. Brass: Birmingham tells the story of competing entrepreneurs in Birmingham during the industrial revolution between the years of 1770 and 1870. The game is played over two halves: the canal era (years 1770-1830) and the rail era (years 1830-1870). To win the game, score the most VPs. VPs are counted at the end of each half for the canals, rails and established (flipped) industry tiles

The Advancement to the Semifinal will be based on the Heats Most Wins – Points standard tiebreakers shown below. Semifinal Winners will advance to the Final
