Hello everyone, and welcome to RBY Grand Slam IV! RBY Grand Slam is a five-Open into Playoffs tournament to decide the strongest RBY Lower Tier player of the year! Previous editions and winners can be found below.

RBY Grand Slam I: Won by Ice Yazu
RBY Grand Slam II: Won by MrSoup
RBY Grand Slam III: Won by gastlies​

This year's format consists of five separate tournaments: The RBY Ubers Open IV, The RBY UU Open IV, The RBY NU Open IV, The RBY PU Open III, and the RBY ZU Open I. Players will be awarded points for their performance in each Open; the point system can be found here. After the conclusion of all Opens, the top eight players will advance to playoffs: a single elimination, best-of-five series to determine the champion of RBY Grand Slam IV.

Signups for each Open will be posted after the second round of the previous open. The signup dates are as follows:

• The RBY NU Open IV - April 20th - Hosted by hammer798 and Teh
• The RBY PU Open III - May 4th - Hosted by Theycallmephil and gastlies
• The RBY Ubers Open IV - May 18th - Hosted by Acetylaldehyde and Wanted in 49 States
• The RBY UU Open IV - June 1st - Hosted by Maris Bonibell and Sabelette

Please note the Opens have changed order to better accommodate other concurrent tournaments and reduce burnout.

In addition, all Opens will award points towards RBY Lower Tiers Circuit III!

Replays will be required for all matches. If a tier shift occurs during a round, it will not be taken into account until the following round.

Be sure to join the RBY Discord to discuss and spectate the tournament!

five tour slam is fake, real champions win slam when there's 6 tours. people like Ctown6 haven't proven themselves in a real grand slam, and whoever wins this year is a farce
