The Swiss format tournament in the standard Sword and Shield NU metagame. A Swiss tournament is a two-part tournament where everyone starts in a sort of round-robin. After Round 1, instead of being eliminated or advancing to a higher part of a bracket, you are paired with someone that has the same record as you. After a few rounds (depending on number of signups) the players with the best records will advance to a playoff bracket. Therefore, you will play every week until playoffs are established.
