The 2019 Classic Tetris World Championship was the tenth edition of Classic Tetris World Championship which took place between 19 and 20 October 2018 in Portland, Oregon. Joseph Saelee won the tournament for the second time, defeating Koji "Koryan" Nishio.^[1]

Format

The competition takes place over two days, with the Qualifying Round and Round Zero on the first day and the Main Event on the second. Contestants are allowed to bring their own controller, but it must be an original, unmodified NES Controller.

Qualifying Round

Qualifying takes place on a fixed number of NES stations. Entrants play "Type A" Tetris, starting on level 9 or higher, and are ranked based on their final score. Once an entrant's game ends for any reason, his/her total must be recorded by a tournament scorekeeper in order to be valid. Entrants may make as many qualifying attempts as they wish, but must return to the back of the waiting line for each one. Additionally there is the option to pay small amount of money and rent a station for an hour.

Winners of "Qualifying Events" held before the event are automatically qualified to the bracket, but their seedings are still determined by their Qualifying Round result. These winners are:

Joseph Saelee (West Coast Qualifier)
Josh Tolles (Midwest Qualifier)
Kristen Stein (Southern Qualifier)
Christopher Brady (East Coast Qualifier)
Jeff Moore (Desert Qualifier)

The 5 "Auto Qualifiers" above and next 43 best scorers in Qualifying Round qualified for the bracket. Top 16 scorers of the 48 qualified directly to the Main Event, while the other 32 went to Round Zero.^[2]

Round Zero

Bottom 32 qualifiers are paired in best-of-three matches. Sixteen winners advanced to the Main Event.

Main Event

The Main Event is a single-elimination tournament consisting of five rounds of head-to-head matches (six if including Round Zero). All matches in Top 32 and Top 16 are best-of-three games, while matches in Top 8 thru Final are best-of-five.

For each game of a match, both players begin to play at the same time on separate systems, and the game continues until one of the following occurs:^[2]

Trailing player tops-out (leader wins)
Leader tops-out; trailing player fails to match that score before topping-out (leader wins)
Leader tops out; trailing player passes that score (trailing player wins)
