Event Roadmap 2023
The three stages for E-Palarong Pambansa Event Roadmap are as follows:
Qualifier Stage
There will be four single elimination brackets; each held once every week. Teams will be divided into four regional legs: North Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The team's position in the bracket will equate to a point. Matches will be played on weekdays simultaneously in all brackets of all regional legs. The schedule will be for the whole month of May, every Monday to Friday, with each day having a different game assigned.
Group Stage
There will be a single round-robin, and the top two teams from each group will proceed to the next round. Participants of the national Esports shoutcaster search will be given the opportunity to cast/analyze these games, picked at random.
Playoffs
There will be a single-elimination tournament among the eight remaining teams contending for the Championship. Rank 1 teams from each week will draw lots to choose the day they will play, and based on that order from Day 1-4, they will choose the Rank 2 team they want to face in the first round of the playoffs. Shoutcasting/analysis of the game they want to apply will be allowed, and the top 8 Esports shoutcasters from the search will be given the opportunity to cast/analyze these remaining games.
