HADO
STRIKE.

The HADO Strike circuit is divided into independent competitive seasons. Each season consists of:

10 weekly qualifying stages held on Tuesdays.

1 grand final bringing together the Top 8 in the overall standings on the Sunday following the end of the stages.

Each weekly tournament awards points to participants based on their final placement:

1st: 100 points

2nd: 70 points

3rd: 50 points

4th: 40 points

5th: 30 points

6th: 25 points

7th: 20 points

8th: 15 points

Participation bonus: Any player taking part in a stage but not reaching the Top 8 automatically receives 5 participation points.

After the 10th stage, the 8 players with the most cumulative points in the overall standings qualify for the Final Phase.

Tie-breaking rule in the event of a points tie for 8th place:

The player who participated in the most stages of the season qualifies.

If the tie persists, the player with the best individual placement at a stage (e.g. a 1st place) qualifies.

The final uses a double-elimination bracket (Winners and Losers bracket).

Bracket placement (seeding) depends strictly on the rank achieved in the overall season standings:

Match 1: 1st vs 8th

Match 2: 4th vs 5th

Match 3: 2nd vs 7th

Match 4: 3rd vs 6th

Any conduct deemed toxic, unsporting or disrespectful toward other players or officials will result in immediate disqualification from the current stage, with the loss of all points earned that day.

The organizers reserve the right to permanently exclude a player from the circuit for repeat offenses.
