In order to participate in this Ladder Tournament, you will be required to register your alt in this thread. While climbing up the ladder, all your battles should be public. The Ladder Tournament will consist of 4 cycles, with the rewards for the top players being distributed as follows:
- Top 1: Direct qualification to Hispanic Circuit playoffs as top seed
- Top 2: +25 points in the Grand Slam leaderboard
- Top 3: +15 points in the Grand Slam leaderboard
The featured format for Week 1 will be SV OU.
Rules and general guidelines:
- In order to participate, it is required to sign up in this thread. If any alt reaches the top during the cycle but has not signed up in this thread beforehand, it will be disqualified.
- All accounts must be registered after the cycle begins: if an account is pre-registered before the cycle begins, it will be invalid.
- In order to claim any of these rewards, it will be mandatory to clear the cutoff for ladder tournaments, i.e., to be tracked in the actual leaderboard at the end of the cycle (this means reaching around top 500). As guidance, you can check this by searching your name in the corresponding ladder. If the ladder displays the message "No one has played any ranked games yet", that will mean that you were not able to overcome this cutoff.
- You cannot qualify more than once for the play-offs of the Hispanic Circuit. If a player earned their spot in the Hispanic Circuit during a previous cycle of the Ladder Tournament, they will still be allowed to participate in subsequent cycles, but their rating will not be taken into account. However, if a player earns some points due to reaching Top 2 or 3, and then qualifies directly to Hispanic Circuit during the following weeks, their points will not be transfered to the next player in the leaderboard. For instance, if Elian makes it to Top 2 during the Week 1 Cycle, and then ends at Top 1 during Week 2, he will still retain the 25 points from Week 1, even though these will not be taken into account in the Grand Slam Leaderboard. Conversely, if Elian happened to reach Top 1 during Week 1 and 2, then Top 2 of Week 2 would get their spot to Hispanic Circuit playoffs, and Top 3 and 4 would get the +25 and +15 bonuses, respectively.
- General rules and guidelines from Smogon will apply. Specifically, boosting an account, wintrading, or any kind of cheating will be considered serious infractions, and may result not only in disqualification, but also in a ban for future events.
