With only a few days left before the next installment of the X3O 2008 Championship Series, the organization has released the seedings and corresponding starting groups for the first day of competition.

The matches themselves begin next Saturday, May 17th and continue until Sunday. The initial group stage will consume the entire first day with each individual group providing two teams a berth into the second day's bracket play.

The Qualifiers
Basic Rundown

There are four qualifiers that serve as a means from which to gain a berth into the final tournament as well as determination of seed, this is the second of them.

The qualifiers have a limit of 16 teams each and are two day events. The first day consists of round-robin group play, with the top two teams in each group progressing to day two. That second day consists of a double elimination bracket play to determine overall placing. The first place finisher of a qualifier skips the round robin stage of the finals event later this year, and receives a spot in the bracket stage.
