The 2024 AEW Continental Classic is officially underway.
Kicking off on the November 27th episode of Dynamite, the round robin tournament will continue on Dynamite and Collision throughout the rest of the year and will culminate at Worlds End on Saturday, December 28th. The tournament is split into 2 leagues of 6 with everyone in each league facing all the other entrants. The entrants for the Continental Classic were announced the day after Full Gear as part of a selection special Sunday.
The rules for the tournament are as follows:
- 20 Minute Time Limit
- 3 Points For A Win
- 1 Point For A Draw
- Everyone Is Banned From Ringside
Unlike the previous year, which saw the winners of each league face off in the final, the top 2 from each league will be able to receive an opportunity at victory and the Continental Championship in 2024. This year, the winner of the gold league will face off against the runner up of the blue league and vice versa at Worlds End. The winner of each of these matches will face off later in the night to determine the overall winner.
