The 2020 Dominion Team World Cup was an online team tournament. It was the third installment of the Dominion Team World Cup. The tournament, run by amoffett11, began on the 14th of January 2020 and finished on 7 March 2020. The United States was the defending title holders. 16 teams entered the competition. The final was played between Germany A and Canada, with Germany winning 2.5-1.5
Format
The 12 participating teams are divided into 4 groups of 3 teams. In each group, every team plays against every other team once. The individual matches are 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 and 4-4. Every match consists of 6 games. To mitigate first player advantage both players have to go first three times. A win is worth 1 point, and a tie 0.5. A loss does not give any points. The player with more points after 6 games wins the match. If both have 3 points, the match is a draw. A win adds 1 point to the team result, a tie 0.5. After every team has played against every other team in its group, the best two teams from both groups will advance to the play-offs. If these play-offs result in a tie, the following tie-breakers will be applied:
- The team with the most game points from individual matches advances
- If the match is still tied, the team leaders play a sudden death best-of-5 match.
Sign-ups
The sign-ups had players sign up with their respective country. A player could sign up for their country of origin or their country of residence. Once a country had at least four players, that country was eligible to compete in the main tournaments. Extra players could be used as reserves, and with enough extra players split into a B team for that country. In some cases, countries without enough players to form a full team were merged into regional teams, as was the case for Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, and Oceania.
Israel and Greece competed in the World Cup for the first time. Japan returned to the World Cup after being absent for the 2018 World Cup. The Netherlands failed to field a team for the first time.
