The final rounds are streamed online with live-edited screens and Head-up display to improve viewer experience. The contestants play the 1989 Nintendo version of Tetris on actual Nintendo Entertainment System consoles and CRT televisions. Due to Covid-19, this year’s tournament will be ONLINE, (Note: A more thorough explanation of rules and procedures will be available in August). Both players begin to play "Type A" Tetris at the same time on separate systems, and the game continues until one of the following occurs:[5].
*Some Regional tournaments may allow players to start on levels as low as 9, depending on the anticipated skill level of the competitors and time available. The tournament follows a similar structure, but is played on the PAL version of NES Tetris rather than the NTSC version.
to stream score attempts (last game must begin within 120 min. The next month, in February, CTM was hosted on the ClassicTetris Twitch channel, the same channel that streams the annual CTWC. The competition launched in 2010, during the filming of Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters to determine the world's greatest Tetris player. In January 2019, due to increased participation, two CTM tournaments were played on different weekends, dubbed the Main Event (ME) and Community Tournament (CT). Since Jonas's last win in 2017, Joseph Saelee has won two in a row, including a win against Jonas in the 2018 final. Prior to the 2016 tournament, the Main Event was played using unmodified cartridges. Due to Covid-19, this year’s tournament will be ONLINE. Players will NOT be playing with the same order of pieces, as they will be using the original unmodified cartridges. The tournament rules have been subject to change as seen in below: The inaugural edition of CTWC had the flavor of an invitational tournament due to its original concept;[6] five spots were automatically filled with the world record holders Jonas Neubauer, Harry Hong (by achieving the max-out, or 999,999 points), Ben Mullen, and Jesse Kelkar (for records of most/second most lines cleared: 296 and 291, respectively), and the 1990 Nintendo World Championships champion Thor Aackerlund. The standard available starting level options for CTWC events are typically 15 and 18*. Entrants may make as many qualifying attempts as they wish, but must return to the back of the waiting line for each one. In September 2019, a third tournament, the Challengers Circuit (CC), was added for players at the very top of the CT, which was once again growing beyond a reasonable scale. This was especially utilized in 2018, when seven players maxed out, four of whom (Koji "Koryan" Nishio, Tomohiro "Green Tea" Tatejima, Jonas Neubauer and Harry Hong) maxed out twice. * If two or more players have identical scores, (as may be the case with multiple players achieving the maximum score of 999,999) then the players’ 2nd-highest scores (and 3rd-highest, 4th highest, and so on as necessary) will be used to determine their positions on the leaderboard. The 2020 CTWC will take place Online.

The referee rolls two 10-sided dice before each game to determine a random seed (and the random seeds in the cartridge are changed every year). Once an entrant's game ends for any reason, his/her score must be recorded by a tournament scorekeeper in order to be valid.
CTWC Regional Tournaments are played in 4 rounds: During this round, competitors will play NES Tetris A-Type and try to get the highest score possible. The main event is a single-elimination tournament with four rounds and a final. The lower seed chooses for the second game, and the higher seed for the third (if necessary). During the first round, the higher-seeded player in a match chooses whether the first game will start at level 15 or 18. Due to the difference in framerates, the two versions of the game (both of which are designed for the NES) are balanced differently; pieces do not fall at identical speeds on the same level between the two versions. A group of NES consoles, NES Tetris carts, and NES controllers will be provided for competitors to play. Calculated by the percentages of lines or scores compared to the best player of each round, the top two players advance to the final. The tournament official will then record their name and score. When the players are ready, a tournament official will issue a 3-2-1 countdown, at which point the players will simultaneously begin their game by pressing start on their controller. First level 30 in qualifying round of CTWC: First level 31 in qualifying round of CTWC: Tetris: The Grand Master on Arcade: regular games racing for the fastest time (2017), Nintendo NES Tetris with extra rules: no next preview Level 18 and race from Level 0 to Level 19 (2018), This page was last edited on 14 September 2020, at 14:27. These matches are best-of-3. Harry Hong, the 2014 CTWC champion, was the tournament's first victor. However, this rule was used only in 2015 and 2016.[8]. Three spots were remaining for qualifiers: top 3 players in the "Type B" games (with Level 18 and Height 0) in a certain period could join the semifinal. The standings between players reached the same round are determined by 1) games won in the losing match, and 2) combined scores of the two games lost in the losing round. The qualifying round will run for a period of time that will be clearly posted at the tournament venue. Players will have 2 hours to make unlimited qualifying attempts, with the Top 64 being seeded for the Double-Elimination tournament. Competitors routinely compete from around the world in CTM, which is streamed remotely and thus allows for great flexibility on the part of the competitors.
Using the scores obtained during the Qualifying Round, the top 8 players are seeded in a single elimination tournament bracket as follows: The remaining rounds consist of two player NES Tetris A-Type matches. At the end of the qualifying round, players with the top 8 scores* will advance to the Top 8 round. Qualifying games are still played with the original unmodified cartridges. An additional 100,000 points were awarded for completing Level 19.[7]. Matches in the rounds are played best of three (first to two games) while the final is played best of five (first to three). A designated group of NES machines will be used for the Qualifying Round. The Top 64 are distributed among eight separate 8-seeded Double-Elimination Brackets. During the expo there have been several tournaments on other systems over the years. Starting with the second round, all games begin at level 18.
The final match is best-of-5. The Classic Tetris World Championship (CTWC) is a video game competition series, hosted by the Portland Retro Gaming Expo.
As the tournament moved to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, the rules were renewed and established as the current rules: A slight change was applied in determining the rankings: if players are tied for rounds advanced and games won in a losing match, the sum of two games in the losing match plus qualification score was used. Any modifications may be evaluated by the tournament or CTWC officials and may result in a disqualification. We hope to see returning champions Joseph Saelee, Jonas Neubauer, and Harry Hong along with many of the players featured in the award-winning Tetris documentary Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters. CTM is overseen and commentated chiefly by Keith "vandweller" Didion, who took over for Jessica "fridaywitch" Starr, the tournament's founder, in the Summer of 2018.

Entrants may also pay a fee to rent a station for one hour, which allows unlimited qualifying attempts. Qualifying takes place on a fixed number of NES stations. Matches are played with specially modified cartridges that can display seven-figure scores and give both players the same sequence of randomly determined blocks. In January of 2020, a fourth tournament, the Futures Circuit (FC), was added to account for the first month with 100 submitted qualifiers.
