*Final Round match results may be updated at different times for each user.
*Due to the high volume of matches in the Round of 32 and Round of 16, it may take some time to calculate the results.
Qualifier Rounds
In the 1st Round, users are grouped into classes based on their final division in Season 8 of the World Premiership.
Rank changes after Season 9 begins do not factor into your class.
For example, if you finish Season 8 in Master 3 and are promoted to Master 2 after Season 9 starts, you will still be placed in Master 3.
During this round, 10 users of the same class will go head-to-head in a league.
| Starting Class | Division |
| A | Master 1 |
| Master 2 | |
| Master 3 | |
| B | Division 1 |
| Division 2 | |
| Division 3 | |
| Division 4 | |
| Division 5 | |
| C | Division 6 |
| Division 7 | |
| Division 8 | |
| Division 9 | |
| Division 10 |
The Away Deck you register during the entry period will be used in the qualifiers.
Your Away Deck acts as an opponent for other users.
From the Away Deck Confirmation screen, go to Squad Selection, choose the deck you want to use, then select the Register button in the top right.
The 1st and 2nd Rounds are the qualifiers.
Your class in the 2nd Round will change based on your ranking in the 1st Round.
| 1st Round Class | Ranking | 2nd Round Class |
| A | 1-6 | A |
| 7-10 | B | |
| B | 1-3 | |
| 4-9 | C | |
| 10 | D | |
| C | 1-3 | |
| 4-6 | E | |
| 7-10 | F |
Compete against other users and climb the rankings based on the points you've earned in each match!
Points from matches using your Away Deck will also be added to your total.
