Moving forward, the BW Mod team would like the public to have a more organized place to provide feedback on our yearly circuit. The planned 2026 circuit as of right now is:

BW Winter Seasonal - January 13th
BW Slam - February 17th
BW Global Championship - April 7th
BW World Cup - April 21st
BW Cup - June 16th
BW Ladder Tournament - August 4th
BW Premier League - August 25th
BW Last Chance - October 20th

Italicized tours do not contribute to the end of year circuit tournament

We are willing to introduce tournaments based on popular demand, such as reintroducing summer seasonal or a potential new format proposed by the community. However, the tournament schedule is decently packed as is, so new tournaments will very probably supplant a less popular one. Please let us know what you think!
 
Isnt possible to remove last chance and do another ladder tour? Or maybe just award more points in ladder tour. I kinda dislike how fast paced last chance is like specially given how its very likely your opp will have a different timezone than you and you cant have extensions aswell as having a short deadline so what you do if both players cant find a time to agree on coinflip bc the deadline is shorter doesnt seem fair. Also why Bw Gc is so close to bw worldcup.

- One week deadlines for BW Last Chance tours
- Replace Ladder Tour and bring back the BW Summer Seasonals

Ladder tours are nice, but some people aren't able to have the time to grind each week.

Although not official, it would be good to see the return of BW Trios, I thought that went well last time (not saying it because our team won lol)
 
i have the same selfish request pretty much every year, but can we move bwpl to a month or 2 earlier so it isnt during my busiest rl time? it's pretty much the only tour i go out of my way to make happen every year but it'd be nice to be consistently available after thursday for more than ~2 weeks of the season
