The format has two brackets composed of eight players each. The eight-player field competes against each other in knockout style. The double elimination format ensures a second shot at the top for any player who loses a match.

The winners advance in the Championship Bracket, while those who lose their match continue with rapid chess in the Elimination Bracket. Anyone who loses their match in the Elimination Bracket is then eliminated from the tournament.

The rapid time control will be game in 25 minutes plus 10-second increments from move one (G/25+10).
