Cross-Region Duels
When a tester's region differs from the player being tested, the format is determined by the game mode's length:
- Short Game Modes: First to 5 (FT5)
- Long Game Modes: First to 3 (FT3)
The Sweep Exception: If a player gets swept (3-0 or 5-0) on their home region, the tester is not required to switch over to their own region to finish the set.
