The format consists of five separate tournaments: the RBY CUP, GSC Cup, ADV Cup, DPP Cup, and the BW Cup. Each tournament is single elimination, best of three. Depending on your performance in a Cup, you will be awarded points. The
point system is the same as the one used in Smogon Classic. When all the Cups have been finished,
the 12 players with the most points will advance to the playoffs with the top 4 seeds getting a bye round 1. This year's format will be a best-of-5. Higher seed chooses the first tier and then the loser of each battle chooses the next one.
