What Is The Format?
Featuring two MTG Arena formats—Historic and Standard—with a combination of Swiss pairings, followed by round robin pools to seed a Top 8 playoff bracket playoff, it's a one-day showdown to find the Red Bull Untapped 2020 World Finals champion.
The day begins with two rounds of Swiss pairings using the Historic format. Based on records and who-played-who during the two Swiss rounds, players are then split into four different pools—Zendikar, Ikoria, Theros, and Eldraine—for three round-robin matches using the Standard format. Finally, the two individuals with the best records within each pool are seeded into the Top 8 playoff bracket.
