The best teams then advance to Round 3, which again features 10 games played over three hours. The same procedure is repeated in round 4. However, in round 4, teams can only participate in a maximum of six games within three hours. Should a team not queue up for the game mode and/or miss the start of a match, the match will be treated as if the team completed that missed match in last place and with no eliminations.
