Last but not least, this cup will be using a format which has never been used before in a divegrass cup: Triple elimination.

The bracket (pic related) might look intimidating, but it works on a simple principle: Every team starts with 3 "lives" and loses one every time it loses a match.
Losing a life also means dropping down to the 2-Lives or 1-Life brackets and restarting the stage. Losing all of your lives means being knocked out.
Winning the match means staying on your current bracket and advancing by one stage, or sometimes even more.

All in all, we've got a total of 9 stages to go through to obtain the 1cc (this is the same as on PoFV, so we've decided to call the stages "Episodes").
The colors on the bracket also make it easier to understand where the losing team from each match will end up after dropping.
