OP edited from the previous edition of this tour
This event will now act more like a casual version of MLT. There will be four qualifying periods for a playoffs round, where each round 8 players will advance. The playoffs stage will be a single elimination randomized bracket tournament. From the ladder stage to the playoffs, all participants are encouraged to use any of the seven available types and are not locked into a singular type.
What is Low-Tier?
Lower tiered types are types that aren't used very much in the metagame. They consist of the bottom seven types, determined by our wonderful Viability Rankings council. Those types are: Bug, Electric, Grass, Ice, Poison, Psychic, and Rock.
Tournament Specific Rules:
- You are only allowed to ladder with the 7 types listed above
- You may only register one alt a cycle
- You can change teams between the seven available types at any point during the laddering or playoffs phase
- All Cycles will be posted in new threads in the Monotype forum
- We will use the same system as MLT on PS! to track who has qualified during each round

Additionally, games will be publically displayed in the Monotype room after a certain elo, just like MLT. If anyone is caught cheating in any cycle they will be banned from participating in that cycle of the tournament and will receive an Unsportsmanlike Conduct infraction.
Cycle 1 of laddering will go up on Monday!
This is just an announcement thread, each cycle will have its own signup thread. Feel free to ask me about this event in the Monotype Discord!
