This will be a best of 3 swiss AAA Ubers tour.
The number of rounds will depend on the number of participants, but 3-5 rounds seems most likely. The exact details will be announced once round 1 goes up. The participant with the most wins at the end of the swiss portion will be declared winner. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined in a bo3 tiebreaker round. The winner of this tournament will have the opportunity to join the AAA Ubers council, or if no council exists by that point to form their own council as tier leader, if they wish to do so.
Replays are encouraged, but not mandatory.
Rules and banlist for this metagame are laid out both below and in the OM Mashups thread here. Feel free to join in the discussion!
If you would like to try out the metagame before signing up for this tournament or just want to try out your team, join the OM Mashups room on PS. AAA Ubers is currently spotlight, so it's generally played at least once per day and it is the scheduled daily tour for Monday and Thursday, at 6 PM GMT+2.

DISCLAIMERS:
Some of you may remember a poll that from the mashups PS room that was asking whether you guys would rather play AAA Ubers or CAAAmomons. The vote ended up being extremely close, so the final decision was made with input from staff. AAA Ubers was picked as it had next to no development this generation and with a huge amount of Ubers being released in DLC 2 we felt like the timing couldn't be better.
Due to the low amount of development, it is possible the metagame might need a bunch of bans. This is why tiering decisions might happen after every round. For now these decisions will be made by me (with community input). If over the course of the tournament a council is formed, these decisions will be made by them instead.
EDIT: Dynamax is banned here, added Dynamax clause to the clauses and banlist section to reflect that.
EDIT 2: Sample teams have been added!
EDIT 3: Turns out seeded bracketing is much harder, so I changed this to be random, sorry guys :(
