As the first notable tournament of the 2015 season commences, eight teams will battle it out—not on the slopes but in the server—for a share of the $50,000 prize pool. The exact prize breakdown is as follows: 1. $25,000 2. $12,500 3. $7,500 4. $5,000
The teams are divided into two groups of four and the first two days will see teams playing every respective member of their group in a round robin format. The top two sides from both groups will advance to the single elimination playoffs with a best-of-three format in effect.
