BQT's are held as a single elimination tournament using standard Ladder Match rules.
Seeding is based on ELO standing. [A higher ELO may earn you a first round Bye in the BQT!]
Current standard Ladder Match rules for the AUGUST SEASON:
Just like in normal ranked mode, you may queue any Legal Deck (master/cards) you choose in the best of 3 series; your opponent has no idea what you're playing!
When you win your first game in the series, you must play the SAME MASTER/DECK the next game. When you lose your first game in the series, you may use any master and any Legal Deck you want (the same, different, or slightly changed.)
However, for the deck to be a Legal Deck, it must follow these limitations:
NO WILDCARDS
Banned Cards : [NONE currently banned.]
Banned Heroes: [NONE currently banned.]
