Welcome to the 2026 edition of UM Swiss, a Type B tournament in the UMs Circuit. Players will have the opportunity to play up to three times, with three losses removing a player from the tournament. Each week, a random UM (from this year's circuit that wasn't already selected, until all are selected) will be selected as the first game of a Best-of-3 set. The loser of each game picks the next tier. Tiers may not repeat in a set.
Tournament-Specific Rules
Swiss means that everyone plays someone of the same record (0-0, 2-1, 5-2, etc) when possible. Three losses eliminates you from the tournament. After a number of rounds indicated by the signups (to aim for a 16-player Top Cut), the remaining players will be put into a single-elimination Top Cut to determine the winner.
Each match is Best of 3, with the first game's metagame being randomly selected from this year's UM Circuit tiers. The loser of the first game picks the metagame for the second game. If a third game is needed, the loser of the second game picks the metagame for the third game. SV 1v1 bo5, SV Anything Goes, SV NFE, SV Ubers UU, and SV ZU are the accepted tiers for this tournament.
The starting format is picked by the higher seed. Higher seeds are listed to the left.
Seeds can be found here:
Three Byes are included to ensure we have a stable bracket number. Resistance is the percentage of games your opponents won, in total. For example, lettuce's opponents won a total of 36 games and lost a total of 12 games across the tournament, leading to a Resistance of 75.00%
Reminder that all 1v1 sets are bo5. All replays are mandatory.
The hosts are a fairy, Lord Rekkuza and bern.
