Hello everyone, the OM tournament circuit will return in 2025! OM players will have a chance to prove that they are the best by competing in a series of tournaments throughout the year and earning points. At the end of the year, there will be a seeded playoffs consisting of the top 16 players with the most points. The winner of the playoffs will be crowned the overall best OM player of the year and have the ribbon above added to their postbit, and they can choose between a custom avatar, a name change, or a name color change on PS!. The ribbon will last for a year until it is greyed out and permanently affixed to your postbit.

Tournament Details​

OM Majors

OM Majors is a tournament divided into two stages. Stage 1 is a round robin with pools of 4 that lasts two weeks. Each pool will be provided a random set of metagames to play a best-of-3 from. The two players with the best records in each pool will move into Stage 2, which is a Type A, best-of-3, single-elimination tournament.

OM Grand Slam

OM Grand Slam is a two-stage tournament. Stage 1 consists of the Almost Any Ability, Balanced Hackmons, Godly Gift, Mix and Mega, and STABmons Opens. Opens are Type C, best-of-3, single-elimination tournaments where participants earn points in an attempt to qualify for the second stage; however, only each participant's best three finishes count towards qualifying. The 8 players with the most points at the end of all of these tournaments compete in the second stage, which is a Type A, seeded single-elimination tournament.

Both the Opens themselves and the Grand Slam Playoffs will count towards qualifying for the Circuit Championships.

Seasonals

Seasonals are Type A, best-of-3, double-elimination tournaments. There are five seasonals, one for each of the main tournament metagames. Seasonals are Type A despite being single-OM tournaments because they're the most reflective of each metagame's playerbase before the Circuit Championships.
