Specific Rules and Information
  • The Top 16 players will advance to the playoffs, and we will announce the format for that when we get there. Just know that it won't be your vanilla BW / DPP / ADV best of three!
  • In addition, any player that leads or ties for the lead of a pool (limited to a two-way tie) will automatically have a chance to make the playoffs! Even if you seem down and out, one good pool performance can mean you're still in it!
  • Activity decisions will be given out as seen fit. There will be no coin flips in the event of equal activity, the match will not count for anyone win or loss. To avoid gaming this system, Wins is the primary tie breaker (a final record of 11-4 will beat 10-2 based on activity). In the case of the same record, Head to Head will take precedence.
  • No complaining in this tournament. Everyone is a very good, so you don't need to complain. Your rep isn't at stake if Philip7086 managed to hax his way to a win. I will be personally enforcing this rule.

Playoffs

For playoffs, undisputed and me decided to mix it up a little. We decided to make two brackets, in which the two bracket winners will face off at the very end. The only catch is that each bracket has its own loser bracket, meaning that even if you lose in your bracket you have a chance of making a comeback like Benelux Wonder McMeghan. The format will be best-of-three, where each player picks one of ADV OU, DPP OU, and BW OU. The last battle, if necessary, will include the neutral tier. The neutral tier is determined by the tier that is left after each player picks a tier they want to eliminate. As you can see we tried to deviate as much as possible from the standard best-of-three we all know, hope you guys enjoy it!

Eclipse Bracket

Aeroblacktyl vs DracoMalfoy

Loser Bracket

Eo Ut Mortus vs Ojama

Part 2

DracoMalfoy vs Eo Ut Mortus


Deadline: Sunday, April 15th @11:59PM (GMT -5) EST. Please try to get your matches done in this timeframe. No luck and have fun!
 
Errr, change in matchups. I apologize for any inconvenience *hints at posters above*

I have fused the winner and loser brackets to avoid potential consecutive best-of-three between the same players.

i dont get it, where is dracomalfoy ?

That alternative would result in a second best-of-three between Aeroblacktyl and Eo Ut Mortus, which we are trying to avoid as much as possible. In other words, it was either between switching you and Eo's brackets or simply fusing the brackets now. We went with the latter.
 
Thank you for getting those matches done promptly.

Now, DracoMalfoy and Eo Ut Mortus have to face to see who goes to the finals against Aeroblacktyl. Neutral luck!
 
Aeroblacktyl and Eo It Mortus are free to battle as soon as possible. I will have the fancy finals up tomorrow.
