spreading confusion
This thread is meant to gauge the opinions and interest of the OM Classic tour coming in the near future. This poll is open to discussion on the tiers included, as well as any questions about what the tournament format will potentially include.
What is OM Classic?
OM Classic is a singles tour that consists of 5 various other metagames from previous gens ranging from USUM to BW2. Players will be able to earn points from these 5 single elimination Best of 3 tours, where at the end the top 8 will face off in a playoffs bracket. The playoffs will consist of a Best of 5 showdown where the higher seed picks the tier first while the loser of each battle picks the following tiers.
There are a large variety of metagames that are available to be chosen in the five slots, so it was decided that the best course of action would be to include the community's input on this matter. We plan to take your considerations into this heavily when deciding the final slots, but the OM leadership has the final say.

FAQ:
Q: When would the OM Classic potentially start?
A: The current timeline looks to aim for the end of June, as the new SS DLC drops and OMPL is finishing.
Q: Does the OM Classic count towards the 2020 Other Metas Tour Circuit?
A: No, the OM Classic doesn't count for circuit points of any kind.
Q: What about DPP Other Metagames or earlier?
A: The Other Metagames forum wasn't created until BW, so while older metagames exist, they never had a popular playerbase. We don't recommend suggesting DPP or earlier OMs, but in the unlikely event there's a high demand it will be considered.
