Answer

Ruling: According to the Tournament Rules (TR), players roll dice to determine who goes first in top cut matches.

Nuances:

  • Some independent tournament organizers may use modified rules where the higher seed gets to choose who goes first in game 1
  • A recent CGS event used this modified format where higher seeding got pick for game 1
