Welcome to the fourth edition of RoA Slam, in which you will be able to play nearly all the lower tiers across the old gens. This tour will take part in the RoA Room, so if you want to participate join the room to play at the scheduled time! 3 Room Tournaments will be made per day at set times

We are doing 9 tiers across the 8 gens over 2 cycles this iteration: Rands, OU, Ubers, UU, RU, NU, PU, LC, Doubles OU, to keep it more in line with the playoffs.
Points will be awarded based off your placement in the tour: first place will receive 5 points, runner up gets 3 points, and semifinalists each get 1 point.
The top 32 after both cycles (top 16 each) have been completed will move onto playoffs. Refer to the spreadsheet below to see standings and points.
Cycle one will be from the 1st to the 15th, Cycle 2 16th to 30th, playoffs in May!
Cycle one tiers can be found below, while cycle 2 tiers while be announced / decided on at a later time. After the playoffs we'll run a feedback thread too!

First tour: <t:1775059200:t> second tour: <t:1775080800:t> third tour: <t:1775095200:t>



Playoffs will play in a bo5, randomly selected gens, and we'll do a pick-ban method to select the tiers (higher seed picks first). The winner will receive room prize winner (^) until the next iteration as their prize and a custom avatar!

You can track the standings and upcoming tiers here: SPREADSHEET

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! If a tour is late for some reason, ping PS Room Driver, PS Room Mod, myself or Tbolt on discord!


THE FIRST TOUR KICKS OFF TOMORROW MORNING!

Congrats to all people who qualified for the ROA SLAM event.
I'll be showing all the winners of this event:

In the case of the multiple 15th places the users that passed to the next rounds are: mdill97 , cute vn because they had some points for the First cycle and Jhall99 , Azure_Crystal and Kiyo were selected of the 5 remaning players in the pool.

For the PART 2 of the ROA SLAM will be a bo-5, the person who loses picks the next tier remaining. All the players must have to send 2 tiers choices that were included in the ROA SLAM and the 1st tier will be decided by a roll (gen) (tier). There will be a deadline of the tiers to be submited.

Best of the luck guys, also will be tagging all the winners in the next post!

I didn't realize Damm u captcha didn't have ping perms my bad



I've also caught wind that there is confusion on how the playoffs are working this year, and that is entirely fair! It's a last minute change after a suggestion from goldmason to make it more in line with how qualifying went.

So for the first week, DPP UU will be the starting format! The players will send in 2 formats (any gen / tier that was in Slam) and begin with DPP UU, and then from there loser can pick out of the remaining 4 formats, in a best of 5.

Ah yes guys contact ROA SLAM hosts to submit ur tiers!! BTW yes regarding to 1 of the questions, a tier selected of the bo-5 only can be played once.
 
So the first week matchups start with 1v32, 2v31 etc. Here are the pairings so people know who their opponents are, if that matters in picking gens and tiers!

To answer questions:


You can change your gen and formats each week if you like, the starting format will be different each week as well!
As for when the deadline is for tiers, you can submit them to me ideally by tomorrow (by Monday at the latest, I will edit them in as they come) and week 1 can commence!
For the upcoming weeks, once you win your series, you can then decide what your next two formats will be if you choose to change them!
If anyone has any other questions or is unsure of things, feel free to reach out to me on PS or discord!
