Hello. This thread will communicate any announcements and other decisions we make as a host team leading up to and throughout the tournament. We also included some important information and helpful links below.
Players Signups
Weekly Format
This tournament consists of eight matches each week, one for every past generation of OverUsed. As such, the following matches will take place every week between teams: RBY OU, GSC OU, ADV OU, DPP OU, BW OU, ORAS OU, SM OU, SS OU. Each team must consist of at least eight primary players and four substitutes.
The Qualifying Stage
Teams that are not pre-qualified for the main stage must participate in a qualifying stage. This will take the form of a Round Robin with playoffs:
Every team will play in a preliminary Round Robin, and the team that wins said Round Robin will automatically qualify for the Main Stage. From the teams ranked 2nd-7th, three additional teams will qualify for the main stage in a seeded, single-elimination playoffs match. This will pit 2nd place against 7th, 3rd against 6th, and 4th against 5th. Teams which win their playoffs match will proceed to the main stage, while those who either lose in playoffs or do not make the top 7 in the qualifying event will be unable to continue. [THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE]
The Main Stage
For the first round, players will be randomly assigned into four groups of four players for each generation. The top 8 teams with the most wins collected proceeding to the playoffs.
Seeding for playoffs will be determined as follows: In each group, six points will be awarded for first place, four for second place, and two for third place in a group. If there is a tie for any position, the total number of points between those two positions will be split equally among the tied parties. For example, if two people are tied for first place, they will split ten (six for first + four for second) points between them for a total of five points each.
Playoff Tiebreaks
If there is a tie for the last spot of the qualifier or main stage, or a tie in any playoff round, a tiebreaker round will be played exclusively by them.
The tiebreak round will consist in a bo3, with the captains communicating to the hosts ONE confirmed tier each to play, then ranking the other seven by preference; the most preferred tier between the two unpicked ones will be selected as the third. In case of a tie, the pick will be randomized between the tied tiers.
