Much like the NA Cup tournaments from Set Nine, the Noxus Cup will run over the course of two weekends and four days in total.

TFT NA Noxus Cup format
The top Ranked 32 players received a bye for the first weekend, joining the 32 that advanced on day three to compete in six games, with lobbies getting reseeded every two rounds. Bonus points are available for the top 12 heading into day four where points are reset.
Day four of the TFT Set 9.5 NA Noxus Cup features five games before a cut to the top 16 is made for game six. Only the top eight from game six advance to the final game of the day, with the top four players earning a direct invite to the Runeterra Reforged NA Regional Finals.
Players can also earn qualifier points based on performance, which can turn into a TFT set 9.5 Regional Finals or Last Chance Qualifier invite.
