Can you believe it? Random Battles Extension League, again!
After a successful first iteration, we will be back for the second edition - and things will be quite different this time around. The details of the tournament are as follows:
Tournament Formats
Each team will play 12 matchups per week, with all formats played as best of 3 except as noted. The formats in RBEL 2 will be:
What is Mystery Box?
Mystery Box is a weekly slot that enables RBEL to remain as format-inclusive as possible while also giving drafted subs a more pivotal role. Each week, the format in the Mystery Box slot will change to a random selection from the pool below. In the round-robin phase of the tournament, a format will be randomly chosen from the Mystery Box each week, with no repeats; thereafter, Mystery Box converts to a multi-format bo3 slot wherein Game 1 will always be Gen 9 Random Battle, and the following game(s) are loser-choose from any extant Mystery Box format. Tiebreakers will also follow this structure.
The Mystery Box formats are as follows:
You might be thinking, "wait, aren't those the names of Rands Slam Opens?!" Yes, entirely correct! During these weeks, Mystery Box players will compete in a Slam-Styled bo3. First format will be randomly picked (you can use !pick command to do it) while next formats will be picked by the loser. Formats cannot be repeated. Each format will be separated out for individual choosing during playoffs.
Teams and Managers
There will be a total of eight teams participating this year! Each team will have twelve starter slots and four substitute slots, and will be drafted via snake draft format on January 18th. Each team, in a randomized order, will select 1 player each round, with draft order reversal at the end of each round (i.e. teams will draft in the following order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, repeat).
RBEL manager signups are open to the public. Details regarding what managers need in their posts (e.g. comanager, mascot, etc) are in signups thread OP.
Tournament Schedule
Manager Signups: December 20—January 4
Player Signups: January 4—January 18
Player Draft: January 19
Week 1: January 20
Questions on the above? Direct them to myself, my fellow RBEL host Dark Pulse, or staff members in the Random Battles PS Room. Otherwise, see you in a few weeks!
