Details of the Yield Managers Cup
The first season of this tournament will begin on the 31st of October by 10 PM Singapore Time (SGT). It will run on every other Sunday by 10 Pm and will last for six months. YMC will include players from 16 different guilds. They will battle it out in a one match elimination format. Over the course of six months, there will be 15 different matches.
In the first round, YGG will face off with AAPH. Every guild will field three of its best players alongside one reserve player. Throughout the battle, players are allowed to change their lineups. This will help to keep the competition exiting, as no one will be able to predict other players’ lineups. One player from each team will battle with an opposing player.
The loser in each team is removed and the next player from the opposing team will fight the previous winner. This will go on until one team loses all its three player. After that, the winning team will progress the next round. The format will continue until there are only two teams left. These two teams will take on each other in the final.

Part of the proceeds from this events will also be for offering aids to children and Gentle Hands staffs who tested positive for COVID-19.
As part of the funding for this event, YGG is staking its AXS holdings and $10,000 in the charity prize pool. It is also opening its Yield Guild Games Charity Fund Ronin Wallet for players to also donate SLPs. It will be adding the donations to the Charity Ronin Wallet to the Charity Prize Pool.
