The format has changed to a more compact series of five continuous swiss rounds of quick-playing scenarios. Players will compete in two single ship actions, followed by three two- or three-ship actions. Drop in or our during the eight hours of swiss play.

The top four players advance to Single Elimination play. Semi-finals and Final will be design-your-own match-ups. Revised tournament rules will be used; copies can be obtained from GM before WBC by email; hardcopies available on site.
