The 2023 Classic Tetris World Championship (CTWC) took place at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo from October 13-15.
In tournament matches, a Level 39 Super Killscreen was added, where the pieces fall at double the speed of Level 29. This was added to prevent Rollers from playing forever.
The rest of the tournament format was the same as last year.
In the Qualifying round, players were given 2 hours to play as many games as possible. The Multiple Maxout rule was still in play, where players were ranked by the amount of Maxouts achieved.
The Top 48 qualified for the Main bracket. Seeds 1-16 had a bye to Round 1, while Seeds 17-48 started in Round 0.
All matches were a Best of Five.
