There will be two Best-of-Three Player Draft competitions on Day 2 using 30-minute match timers for each player.

- Draft One features four guaranteed matches.
- Achieving a record of 3–1 or 4–0 in Draft One will earn you a Draft Two entry token.
- Players with four wins will carry forward an extra loss pip, making their Draft Two a double-elimination event (players with three wins in Draft One will have a single-elimination Draft Two event).
Players with an undefeated 4–0 record from Draft One will carry forward an unused loss pip to Draft Two. That means Draft Two for those players will be a double elimination, allowing them to suffer one loss and stay in the running.
