Kevin announced his method for conducting the draw, explaining that he would pick the two Pro US teams, then the rest of the US teams, followed by the two European teams.

This was done to prevent bad brackets and to give everyone an opportunity to play one of the European teams and one of the Pro US teams.

Preliminary play will be conducted as follows:

Each team will play a round robin within their bracket, playing six games.

The teams in each bracket will then be re-seeded based on their initial six game scores.

Then, each team will play two teams from the opposite bracket, based on their re-seeded rank, giving each team a total of 8 games during preliminary play.
