Specific Rules and Information
  • The Top 16 players will advance to the playoffs, and we will announce the format for that when we get there. Just know that it won't be your vanilla BW / DPP / ADV best of three!
  • In addition, any player that leads or ties for the lead of a pool (limited to a two-way tie) will automatically have a chance to make the playoffs! Even if you seem down and out, one good pool performance can mean you're still in it!
  • Activity decisions will be given out as seen fit. There will be no coin flips in the event of equal activity, the match will not count for anyone win or loss. To avoid gaming this system, Wins is the primary tie breaker (a final record of 11-4 will beat 10-2 based on activity). In the case of the same record, Head to Head will take precedence.
  • No complaining in this tournament. Everyone is a very good, so you don't need to complain. Your rep isn't at stake if Philip7086 managed to hax his way to a win. I will be personally enforcing this rule.

Playoffs

For playoffs, undisputed and me decided to mix it up a little. We decided to make two brackets, in which the two bracket winners will face off at the very end. The only catch is that each bracket has its own loser bracket, meaning that even if you lose in your bracket you have a chance of making a comeback like Benelux Wonder McMeghan. The format will be best-of-three, where each player picks one of ADV OU, DPP OU, and BW OU. The last battle, if necessary, will include the neutral tier. The neutral tier is determined by the tier that is left after each player picks a tier they want to eliminate. As you can see we tried to deviate as much as possible from the standard best-of-three we all know, hope you guys enjoy it!

undisputed said:
ok this is what i got. i tried to split up the records evenly, but if people had the same record, they were randomized into one bracket

Bracket 1:
xtrashine (15-3)
Ironbullet93 (13-5)
Krack (12-6)
Aeroblacktyl (11-6)
Iconic (11-7)
Eo Ut Mortus (11-7)

6A9 Ace Matador (12-6)
M Dragon (11-6)
DracoMalfoy (11-7)
Taylor (11-7)
Stone Cold (10-8)
These two brackets were the ones used to determine who fell into each bracket and who faced each other in each bracket. I was going to alert McMeghan and you that your last match was not needed, but by the time I got back it was already done. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Me and Ojama are tied up at 1-1. We'll do our 3rd match later.


Edit: Ojama wins 2-1. Got a little unlucky with a sleep, but that's the name of the game. GL in future rounds.

Beat Krack in two BW games, lost in ADV. Got some hax/weird stuff that might've skewed the outcome; sorry if it did, but ggs anyway.
