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, ORAS OU and SM OU Championship.
Victory in each of these championships earns you the
blue ribbon in your postbit, that converts to the
gray ribbon 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:
Type A+ tournaments, collectively worth 40% for every past generation, are divided into:
Classic Cup (including unofficial ORAS and SM, worth 20%)
SM II / ORAS IV / BW VII
DPP VII / ADV VII / GSC VII / RBY VII
Global Championship (worth 20%)
SM OU 2 / ORAS OU 4 / BW OU 4
DPP OU 4 /ADV OU 4 / GSC OU 4 / RBY OU 7
Type A- tournaments, collectively worth 30% for every past generation, are divided into:
Winter Seasonals (worth 15%)
SM OU 2 / ORAS OU 3 / BW OU 3
DPP OU 3 / ADV OU 3 / GSC OU 3 / RBY OU 3
Summer Seasonals (worth 15%)
SM OU 2 / ORAS OU 3 / BW OU 3
DPP OU 3 / ADV OU 3 / GSC OU 3 / RBY OU 3
Type B tournaments, collectively worth 30% for every past generation, are divided into:
Smogon Tour live tournament (ORAS OU, SM OU, worth 2.5%) x18 [Maximum playable: 12]
ST31: March 12th 2021 to May 9th 2021 / ST32, 17th September 2021 to November 14th 2021
RoA Tour live tournament (RBY OU, GSC OU, ADV OU, DPP OU, BW OU, worth 2.5%) x12
RoAT VI: January 1st 2021 to March 7th 2021 / RoAT VII: June 4th 2021 to August 8th 2021
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 features 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
kjdaas 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 RBY OU Summer Seasonal. The championship format will be 16-man first-to-2-wins, with play-ins to break ties for last seeds (entry into the 16), and win ratio to break other ties.

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 calculated?
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.
