This is a Type-A tournament in the OMs circuit. Players will sign up with a tier of their choice for a best-of-3 single-elimination tournament, with the first game tier being picked randomly by the host. The loser of that game will then play their opponent in the tier they signed up with.
The tiers of choice are
SV Almost Any Ability, SV Balanced Hackmons, SV Godly Gift, SV Mix and Mega, SV STABmons. Your chosen tier will be
locked from Round 1 onwards, i.e. you cannot change it between rounds.
