OP Stolen from BigFatMantis by BigFatMantis for ADV Grand Slam I
Welcome to the second bi-centennial ADV Grand Slam! The ADV Ubers, UU, NU, and PU Opens will return for their second rendition, and the ADV LC, RU, and ZU Opens be established for the first time for this new edition as players from all over the universe compete to become the first ever Smogon ADV Grand Slam Champion!
The format consists of seven separate tournaments: The ADV Ubers Open II, The ADV UU Open II, The ADV RU Open I, The ADV NU Open II, The ADV PU Open II, The ADV ZU Open I, and the ADV LC Open I. Depending on your performance in each Open, you will be awarded points. The point system is the same as the one used in Smogon Tour, Smogon Classic and previous years of Smogon Grand Slam (see this for further explanation). In a departure from last year, this will be a Best 5 Finish, meaning only your best 5 Open results will count towards your score (although you are free to participate in all of them). When all the Opens have been finished, the eight players with the most points will qualify for playoffs. There, the battlers will duke it out in a single elimination best-of-five series until there is one ADV Grand Slam champion!
In an effort to crown a champion well before the new year, signups for each open will start next week:

If a tier shift happens to occur during a round, it will not be taken into account until the following round. Please also keep in mind that this tournament is entirely ADV and does not include metagames from future generations.
Be sure to join the ADV Discord if you have any questions or wish to ask a host about a decision. The spreadsheet will be run by me, and I'll have a link to it in this post once it's ready.
