Format of CDL 2020

The League follows an unusual format, unlike other competitive leagues and hosts its tournaments very differently.

The league will have 12 regular tournaments and will only feature 8 of the 12 Franchises at a time, meaning that all teams will not attend each event.

At each tournament, the teams will be divided into groups of 4. The top 2 squads from each group will advance to the Elimination Bracket.

The top 2 squads will battle it out in the elimination bracket and determine the tournament's champion.

Each victory in the tournament is worth 10 points, with an additional 10 points to the overall winner of the tournament. A team can earn up to 50 points in a single tournament.

All CDL 2020 Tournaments will be online due to the current global situation
