Competitors are assigned a Player number, in the order in which they sign up (simply by making a post in the GSHI [] Anniversary Contest thread for that year).


	A GSHI staff member spectates each bout, and competitors face off until one has a 2/3 advantage in a game (2 out of 3 rounds in a fighting game, 2 out of 3 stages or levels in a puzzle game, etc), at which point he/she is the winner for that game, in that bout. The two competitors then go at it in the next game, then the third and final, and the competitor with 2/3 advantage out of all three games (the winner of at least two games overall) is advanced to the next round. This continues until there are only two competitors, who play, as it were...for the win :)		A GSHI staff member spectates each bout, and competitors face off until one has a 2/3 advantage in a game (2 out of 3 rounds in a fighting game, 2 out of 3 stages or levels in a puzzle game, etc), at which point he/she is the winner for that game, in that bout.

	As an example, if there are ten competitors, the first bout is [Player 1] vs [Player 2], and the first game is [Game 1]. If [Player 1] beats [Player 2] 2 out of 3 times in this game, [Player 1] is considered the winner of this game, within this bout. The two players then move on to the second game, and the process repeats. If, after all three bouts of all three games, [Player 2] is the winner of 2 out of 3 games, [Player 2] is advanced to the next round, and does not compete again until [Player 3] vs [Player 4], [Player 5] vs [Player 6], etc have been completed, at which point he/she competes against the winner of the [Player 3] vs [Player 4] bout. If [Player 2] wins this bout, he/she is advanced to the next round again, and does not compete again until the winner of [Player 5] vs [Player 6] faces off against the winner of [Player 7] vs [Player 8]. [Player 2] then competes against the winner of [Player 9] vs [Player 10], and, assuming [Player 2] wins, he/she is advanced to the next stage, and the rotation continues as such.
