Open Qualifier
Date: Sunday, May 3, 2026 from 20:00 (Bangkok time)
Registration: April 22 – May 1, 2026 (until 23:59)
8 players will bypass the Qualifier via direct invitation: Top 4 from Thai League SS1 + Top 4 from TH Power Rating. The remaining applicants compete in this round.
Format — 6 Seeds, Each Seed Has 6 Games (Live Challenge)
Each Seed consists of the same 6 games in the same order. All 6 Seeds use this exact lineup — points are accumulated across all Seeds.
Phantom Score System
Formula: Phantom Score = Raw Score + (40,000 − Raw Score) × 5%
If a player's Phantom Score ≥ another player's Raw Score above them in the same Seed, they share that rank.
Points per rank (1–15): 15 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 / 0
After all 6 Seeds, the top 8 players by total points advance to the League Stage.
Tiebreaker: Total raw score across all 48 rounds (6 games × 8 rounds each). Higher total raw score = higher rank.
§ 5

Game Rules
All matches use the GeoGuessr Global Server.
All players must follow the GeoGuessr Community Rules (geoguessr.com/community-rules).
Prohibited Assistance
No use of Google, external tools, scripts, browser extensions, or any software providing an unfair advantage. Violation = immediate DQ and potential ban from future Thai Community and international community events.
Before each match, show all browser extensions to the Screen Watcher, disable them, then refresh the browser once.
Full screen sharing is required (not application sharing). The mouse cursor must be visible at all times.
No screen overlays, color-adjustment tools, or extensions that alter the Street View appearance to create an unfair visual advantage.
Suspicious Behavior
If a player exhibits suspicious behavior (unusual guesses, large performance inconsistencies vs. ranked history, non-visible cursor, etc.), organisers reserve the right to perform a detailed inspection of all extensions and background processes. Continued suspicion or non-cooperation with inspection = immediate DQ.
Re-Round / Re-Game Policy
Player-caused issues (internet, device) → No Re-Game in any case. If a Guess did not register, Game Replay will be reviewed. Re-Round may be granted where applicable.
Server/organizer-caused issues (wrong settings, server instability) → Re-Match may be called if issue discovered before Round 1 ends, or the game continues and results are adjusted accordingly.
Map bug (black screen, failed to load, unofficial coverage) → Both players confirm via chat, then both guess the Eiffel Tower (Paris, France) to signal the team. Staff will review and call Re-Round.
