Format of DPC NA 2023 Tour 1 Division 1
All eight teams in the Regional League will periodically play each other in a round-robin best-of-three.
Tiebreakers will only be played if it affects qualification — for Majors and relegation. A two-way tie will trigger a best-of-three tiebreaker, while more teams will turn into a best-of-one.
The top two teams qualify for the first Major of the season.
