Worlds 2024 Swiss Stage: Opening Fixtures
Following the conclusion of the Play-Ins, a live draw show was held to determine the opening matchups for all the teams. Here’s a reminder for the Draw Show Rule set in case you’ve forgotten:
* Pool 1 teams will face Pool 4 teams and Pool 2 teams will play Pool 3 teams.
**In the first draw, no team will be able to play a team from their own region.
***A second draw will commence for the 2nd round of the Swiss Stage - pairing teams with the same record against one another. The additional draw restriction will not apply (regional lock will not be in effect).
****Teams will not be allowed to rematch previous opponents in this Stage.
3 wins qualifies a team for the Knockout Stage, 3 losses eliminated the team from Worlds 2024 contention. Without further ado, here are the matchups.
