The Celestial Tournament is a special GvG tournament held through February and March, 2007, sponsored by ArenaNet. 277 guilds entered with more than 2,500 players registered for the tournament, making this the largest Guild Wars tournament up to date. 165 guilds made it to the 8th and final Swiss system round.

Registration for the Celestial Tournament was open for all eligible guilds until February 14, 2007. The tournament consists of two stages. First, there are eight rounds of a Swiss system tournament, from February 16th until March 30th, 2007. The first round was randomly seeded. The winner of a pairing in each round was determined by a single match.

Following the Swiss play, on March 31st and April 1st, 2007, the top 16 guilds (based upon win/loss results and opponent's match-win percentage as the tie-breaker) will compete in a single elimination tournament. All pairings in this stage will be best of three matches.
