It has just been confirmed that Armsport Videos will be streaming the event live.
Triple, quadruple, and quintuple elimination events follow the same basic process that is used at the WAF World Championships.
At the Worlds, there is an "A" bracket, for pullers who have not yet had a loss, and a "B" bracket for pullers who have one loss. You stay on the "A" side as long as you remain undefeated. Once you're in the "B" bracket you remain there until you receive a second loss and are eliminated.
For quintuple elimination, people who receive their second loss drop to a "C" bracket and compete against pullers who also have two losses. Another loss, and pullers fall to the "D" bracket. Another loss, and pullers fall to the "E" bracket. One more loss and they are eliminated.
For a simple example, let's assume there are 32 competitors.
Round 1: Everyone begins in the A bracket. After the first round, there are 16 pullers who remain in the A bracket and 16 who are now in the B bracket.
Round 2: All B bracket matches are conducted, causing 8 pullers to drop to the C bracket. All A matches are conducted leaving 8 in the A, and dropping 8 to the B. After round 2, there are 8 pullers in C, 16 in B, and 8 in A.
Round 3: All C bracket matches are conducted, causing 4 pullers to drop to D. All B matches are conducted causing 8 to drop to C. All A matches are conducted, leaving 4 in the A. After round 3, there are 4 pullers in D, 12 in C, 12 in B, and 4 in A.
Round 4: All D bracket matches are conducted, causing 2 pullers to drop to E. All C matches are conducted causing 6 to drop to D. All B matches are conducted, causing 6 to drop to C. All A matches are conducted, leaving 2 in the A. After round 4, there are 2 pullers in E, 8 in D, 12 in C, 8 in B, and 2 in A.
Rounds continue in this manner until there are five competitors left, one in each bracket.
I will let Chris explain what happens once it gets down to five.
The interesting thing about this event is that before starting each round, the competitors in each bracket will be lined up from heaviest to lightest, ensuring pullers are competing against others who are as close in weight as possible. Whenever possible, minor adjustments will be made to ensure that a puller does not pull the same puller more than twice before the final 5, and that no one receives more than one bye. This process can get a bit complicated, so it's best to use someone who is experienced in running WAF style brackets.

Generally in a elimination format, once the top 5 are established The "A" puller who is undefeated will stand idle while the others battle eachother. This would leave no drama as the final pairing would be a rested "A" puller vs a beaten, worn down opponent with possibly 20+ matched under his belt. To avoid this, this event(when down to final 5) will feature a continuous round robin until there is one man is left standing.
