The Grand Finals are scheduled for November 14th to 16th, 2025, featuring 16 teams, 8 from the Semi-Finals and 8 from the Last Chance Qualifier. The Grand Finals will consist of 18 matches, with 6 matches played each day.
The Smash Rule format will be applied in this stage. Teams will compete under standard rules until one team reaches a specific Match Point threshold, which is calculated as the top team’s points after Match #12 plus 10 points. Once a team becomes Match Point Eligible, the first team to secure a WWCD (Winner Winner Chicken Dinner) after that point will be crowned the Champion. If no Match Point Eligible team wins a WWCD by the end of the final 6 matches, the team with the highest total points will be declared the Winner of the tournament.
