Introduction

Major League. Here we go again.

This is an OU league of Gens 1-7 consisting of 4 conferences, with 9 players every conference (unless each tier has 8+ players in which case there will be 15 players each conference), leading into playoffs. Each player in every group will play all others in the group once home and away, earning a point for each win, with tied battles not counting (gen 1-4 ties must be repeated). Home is playing your selected tier and away is playing your opponent's selected tier (possibly playing the same tier twice). Each conference will have 1 or 2 players for each OU tier, so players play 9 or 10 battles of their selected OU tier and 6 or 7 of other OU tiers. In the whole tournament, there will ideally be 5-6 players for each of the gens 1-7 OU (or 8-9, should the tournament be expanded) who play the tier home. Conferences will also roughly correspond to time zones. The Top 4 ranked players from each conference will be seeded into the Major League RoA playoffs, consisting of a round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals, all first-to-3-wins.

In the event that there are tied scores in a conference, these will be decided by least fail-to-play decision- each tied players is assigned a score of 1 point per dead game and 2 points per adjudgment and walkover loss, and the player with the least points moves forward. In the event that least-fail-to-play leads to a tie, this will move to a head-to-head decision- each of the tied player's records against each other will be isolated and placed in a mini round-robin to decide who progresses.

Due to the type and limited size of the tournament, players will be approved to compete by the hosts. Two factors will be considered when approving players: primarily, a very good commitment to play tournament matches (i.e. it's rare for them to have dead games, activity awarded against them or be subbed out); secondarily, a good reputation for being fiercely competitive (i.e. they have good tournament results). This year a team of myself, Roginald , HSOWA , and ForgottenOnes will each be responsible for a conference and also equally share the hosting of the overall tournament. Lutra will, as always, host the spreadsheet.

The tournament is planned to last a total of 6 weeks - 4 weeks for qualification and 2 weeks for playoffs. Players will play 2 opponents home and away each week in qualification, while in the playoffs players will take turns to pick tiers from gens 1-7 OU, the player with the highest seed picking first. #1-#4 playoff seeds will be assigned to each of the 1st ranked players in their conference, while #5-#8 will be assigned to 2nd and so on, with most wins, least adjudged wins, least deadline violations determining the subranking.

The Major League RoA champion gets the opportunity of displaying a glorious trophy
in their signature, and 1st, 2nd, 3rd place in a conference can display the medals
