Is it head to head matches or 3/4 group matches?

Is it head to head matches or 3/4 group matches?

Head to head!

I added that to my post, thanks for asking!

It's very similar to flip frenzy, it's just a set number of games instead of unlimited qualifying.

Got it, thanks
Head to head group match play 20 rounds

What the average length of each match / expectation on duration?

What the average length of each match / expectation on duration?

I'm expecting about 2.5 hours for qualifying, with the final going for no longer than an hour.

Matches don't usually run longer than 5 minutes, but can sometimes go upwards of 10 minutes.
