The return of offline Smash is something the community was long waiting for, with Summit 11<\/a> breaking all kinds of records and Ultimate Summit 3 poised to do the same.<\/p>\n

The invitational organised by BeyondTheSummit pits some of the best Ultimate players from around the world in four days of exciting competition and fun side events with over $150k<\/a> (and counting) in the prize pool.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot to keep track of, including the schedule, who’s playing, the tournament’s format, and the ever-increasing prize pool so let’s get right down to it.<\/p>\n

Ultimate Summit 3 – Schedule<\/h2>\n

The invitational will take place starting on 26th August, ending on the 29th with the final bracket being played out on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the full schedule down below:<\/p>\n

Ultimate Summit 3 – Format<\/h2>\n

The format is similar to the one used in Summit 11, with two seeding rounds.<\/p>\n

In short, the first group stage is to determine their place in the Gauntlet Stage, this is where final bracket placings for the last part of the event are confirmed. <\/p>\n

In classic Summit fashion, the final bracket will be a double elimination one, however, half the competitors will start from losers, so having a good showing early in the tournament is crucial.<\/p>\n

The only difference is that the winner of each group will bypass the Gauntlet format and directly make it to the final bracket.<\/p>\n
