Introduction
RBY OU Global Champioship is a standard RBY OU Tournament with a goal to find the best RBY OU player of the year. Tiba won the tournament's first edition, while last year's champion was Prague Kick.
A revised format will be used this year. Each round (apart from the finals) will consist of 2 stages. The first stage each player will be given 2 sets of pairings in which they play a first-to-2-wins (best of 3 excluding ties) vs their opponent. After the first stage is completed and the host has determined wins, players who win both their matches go through to the next round, while players who lost twice are eliminated. The players who won 1, lost 1, battle it out in a tiebreaker FT2W in stage 2 to join the two-time winners in the next round. The finals will be a FT4W (FT2W in the case of a 3 man-round robin finals).
The prize returns: a $50 (or equivalent) amazon gift card will be given out to the winner of the entire tournament!
