2025 BSS Tournament Circuit
Ripped from luisin's previous threads
​
Welcome to the third year of Scarlet & Violet tournaments, this year the circuit will consist exclusively of showdown and cartridge tournaments, this year the circuit will have 3 tournaments: Open, Classic, and Masters and of course the most important tournament of the year, the invitational.
Circuit points (CP) from laddering on cart will back to be a part of the BSS circuit! While the CP award system has been revamped to be more competitive.

Invitationals will follow the same format as last year, with the top 12 in CP totals qualifying and the top 4 receiving a first round bye. The Invitationals winner will earn the coveted BSS circuit ribbon

INVITATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
circuit_other.png.m.2
​
  • Player rankings will be determined using CP (Circuit Points). The top 12 players with CP will qualify for the Invitational, with the top 4 getting a round 1 bye.
  • Any tiebreaks necessary to determine byes/top 12/seeding will be decided by highest live tours score.
  • The circuit has a BFL (Best Finish Limit) of 4 (Including roomtours and cartridge tours). Therefore, only your top 4 performances will count towards your ranking. In other words, having one bad tournament does not negatively impact you directly.
  • Point structure:
    • Showdown Tournaments
      • Players will earn the amount of CP equivalent to the last round that they won in before getting eliminated, not including activity wins. A loss in the Winner's Bracket will count as a win in the Loser's bracket for that round. For example, if you lose in Round 6 in Winner's Bracket, and lose in Round 7 of Loser's Bracket, you will get 6CP and not 5CP.
      • Winning the finals of a tournament will earn you 2 extra CP.
      • Ladder Tournament Top 4 will earn 6 CP and the rest 4 CP, and 2 CP per win in playoffs.
    • Live Tours (maximum 15 CP per year)
      • Friendly Competitions:
        • Held on cartridge through Battle Stadium. A three hour laddering contest in which each player has up to 25 battles to climb as high as possible.
        • CP Payouts:
          • 1st Place: 4 CP
          • 2nd Place: 2 CP
          • 3rd & 4th Place: 1 CP
    • Official Roomtours:
      • Held on Showdown. Participants will enter official roomtours that start at scheduled times and will earn points from each roomtour based on their finish. There will be four official roomtours per weekend for two consecutive weekends.
      • Official Roomtours will be held at different times to allow for players in all timezones to participate. For example, 12pm EST to cover US + European timezones and 8pm EST to cover US + Asia timezones.
      • The top four players in terms of total points will advance to a playoff bracket and have one week to complete their games for each round.
      • CP Payouts:
        • 1st Place: 4 CP
        • 2nd Place: 2 CP
