Welcome to the second National Dex Tournament Circuit! This circuit will have players compete in a variety of tournaments to gain points and ultimately face off against eachother in the Tournament Circuit Playoffs!
Having seen how last year's Tournament Circuit worked out, we've made a bunch of changes. We have decided to not do any Live Tournaments this year, and have added a Majors tournament, 3rd Seasonal, and a Grand Slam with the development of National Dex UU and National Dex Monotype. Here is the tournament schedule:
Points System:
Scoring: Type A Double Elimination
National Dex Seasonals:
National Dex Seasonals are a best-of-3 double-elimination tournament. There will be a Seasonal to play in the Winter, Spring, and Fall.
National Dex Majors:
National Dex Majors is a tournament that is divided into 2 stages. The first stage is a round-robin format in pools. Every pool will be headed by a pools leader. The player with the best record in their pool will move on to the second stage, which is just a simple single-elimination tournament.
National Dex Ladder Tournament:
The National Dex Ladder Tournament is a tournament that is divided into 2 stages. The first stage consists of laddering. Every cycle, players will get to signup and ladder to the top. The 8 players with the best record of a cycle will qualify for the second stage. The second stage is a simple single-elimination tournament.
National Dex Grand Slam:
The National Dex Grand Slam is a two stage tournament. In the first stage, players can signup for the National Dex Monotype, Anything Goes, and UU open tournaments. In these single elimination tournaments, players will earn points to compete in the second stage. The 16 people with the most points will compete in the second stage, which is a single elimination tournament.
The points gained for Opens will count both towards the National Dex Circuit Playoffs and Grand Slam Playoffs. They are counted seperately.
Note: Dates may change if we are running ahead or behind of the schedule.
