Qualification | Signups | Championships
Introduction
The Past Gen Championships circuit returns with a championship for each old gen OU.
This year's categories are: Type A+, Type A- and Type B, each offering points towards qualification for either the RBY OU, GSC OU, ADV OU, DPP OU, BW OU or ORAS OU Championship.
Victory in each of these championships earns you a "Past Gens Champion" user banner in your postbit, which is removed after a year.

Points
Type A+ tournaments give 40% (%20 each) of the maximum points, with Type A- giving 30% (%15 each) of maximum points, and Type B giving 30% (2.5% each) of maximum points.
The system and the base points we use are almost the same as M Dragon's described below, with some necessary extensions:
We will divide the tournaments in 3 groups:
Type A: The biggest tournaments. This includes seasonals and grand slam.
Type B: Current gen tournaments. Big tournaments featuring exclusively current gen that are not as big as seasonals.
Type C: Smaller tournaments.
We give points to players that have won at least 1 round.
For example, I designed this:
So the winner of any tournament gets 500 points, 2nd place gets 375, etc
The difference between #3 and #2 is much greater than the difference between someone who lost in quarterfinals and someone who lost in semifinals.
In this way we reward players that consistently finish tournaments in good positions.
And... how are total points calculed?
The idea is simple: each player will have a number of type A tournament points (I will call them Points A), a number of type B tournament points (Points B) and a number of type C tournament points (Points C).
There will be another kind of points I will call equivalent points.
We will give the different tournament types a maximum number of equivalent points.
For example: Type A will have a maximum of 2500 equivalent points, Type B a maximum of 1700 equivalent points, and Type C a maximum of 800 equivalent points
This means that a player that has won every tournament A will have 2500 equivalent points, and a player that has won everything will have 5000 equivalent points (2500 + 1700 + 800)
And how are the equivalent points calculated for the other players?
I will explain it with an example.
In this example I am the player with most points (1750 points), so I get the 2500 equivalent points A.
Since Luigi is a noob and only has 467 points, 467 * 2500 / 1750 = 667 equivalent points.
We do the same with points B and points C, and the final ranking is determined by the total equivalent points of all 3 kind of tournaments.
Type A: The biggest tournaments. This includes seasonals and grand slam.
Type B: Current gen tournaments. Big tournaments featuring exclusively current gen that are not as big as seasonals.
Type C: Smaller tournaments.
We give points to players that have won at least 1 round.

Type A+ tournaments, collectively worth 40% for every past generation, are divided into:
ORAS II / BW V / DPP V
ADV V / GSC V / RBY V
RBY OU 5 / GSC OU 2 / ADV OU 2
DPP OU 2 / BW OU 2 / ORAS OU 2
Type A- tournaments, collectively worth 30% for every past generation, are divided into:
RBY OU 1 / GSC OU 1 / ADV OU 1
DPP OU 1 / BW OU 1 / ORAS OU 1
RBY OU 1 / GSC OU 1 / ADV OU 1
DPP OU 1 / BW OU 1 / ORAS OU 1
Type B tournaments, collectively worth 30% for every past generation, are divided into:
ST27: March 15th 2019 to June 12th 2019 / ST28: 13th September 2019 to November 10th 2019
RoAT IV: November 16th 2018 to January 6th 2019 / RoAT V: June 7th 2019 to July 28th 2019
Points Scaling / Modification
The lowest proportion is 2.5% (Smogon Tour / RoA Tour), which goes into the Type A ones 8 times and 6 times, so we set Smogon Tour / RoA Tour as Base Points (500 points maximum), Classic Cup / Global Championship 8x Base Points and Seasonals 6x Base Points.
For Global Championships, we made no distinction between 2-0 wins and 2-1 wins or being eliminated 0-2 and 1-2, so your rank is determined by what round you got to, the same as with the single elimination Classic Cups.
For Seasonals (Double-Elimination), half-way steps for points are added in.
Since RoA Tour II and III featured 16 man and 24 man tournaments, we extended the charts to feature those sizes.
RoA / Smogon Tour / Classic Cups are parts of playoffs systems, so you may not be motivated to play once you are guaranteed in the playoffs. RoA and Smogon Tour additionally don't motivate you to play again if you've won on a Friday or Saturday.
Hosting
tjdaas is scheduled to host the signups (qualification-only) and all of the actual championships in one thread each. The signups will open following the conclusion of ORAS OU
