Things that were either unclear or just completely incorrect in the initial post, based on posts in the discord:
(Note: I'm just a player trying to be helpful by summarizing posts from the organizers in the discord.)
There are 2 weeks of 1v1v1v1 lobbies. Jan 5/6, Jan 12/13. (There was potentially a week 3 on Jan 19/20, but right now it sounds like it will only be 2 weeks for this stage.) This is similar to a group stage in a normal tournament (but not exactly).
There are 4 players per lobby. There will likely be multiple lobbies per time slot, depending on how many players sign up.
You can only play in 1 these lobbies. (Not 2 like the initial post and signup sheet say.)
You get points from your rank in the lobby per map. 3 for 1st, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd, and an implied but never-stated 0 for 4th.
In these lobbies, players roll for pick. You at most pick twice. (One unlucky player only picks once. Practice your rolls, I guess.) (Edit: I was one of the unlucky ones.)
Free mod: all players must use at least one mod. (Initial forum post was originally copied from a team tournament.)
It's not clear when the tiebreaker gets used. When 2 players tie on a map (my guess is this)? Or when 2 players are tied at the end of the match?
Edit: TB is played when 2 players are tied in points at the end of a match. Because reasons.
The top 8 points from these lobbies go into the finals, which is Jan 19/20 (probably?). (But with so many players interested, it might be a week later.)
Map pool is on the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQCTdPPsxIO1ueq9olApkhtpBnbSEnl0x1SrckN40qE75n5l9ATzA9f6298ixFvTq-f3U4SKVlMhCNn/pubhtml#
Group stage map pool for week 1 is high 3* to low 4* with TB at 4.6*.
No info whether there is a different map pool for week 2 or the finals. (My guess would be a different pool for the finals.)
