The Open Qualifiers for teams from Uzbekistan will be played from March 2 to March 23. The regional finals will be held offline on April 9 — with the top team moving directly to the main event — while the teams ranked second to fifth will advance to the Prelims.

A total of 16 teams will compete in the Prelims on April 10 and 11. The top seven teams from the overall standings will be selected for the main event, while the bottom nine will be eliminated from the PMGO.
