Introduction
Welcome to RoA's fourth Ladder Tournament!
Qualification
Weeks 1-7 will consist of qualifying by obtaining top 8 ladder positions in Gens 1-6 OU.
The week number will be equivalent to the generation's number.
For instance, week 1 qualifying will be on the [Gen 1] OU Ladder, Week 3 on the [Gen 3] OU Ladder and Week 6 on the ([Gen 6]) OU Ladder.
The following points are awarded the same across each ladder:
Points Per Ladder Position
1st: 12
2nd: 9
3rd: 7
4th: 5
5th: 4
6th: 3
7th: 2
8th: 1
If there are n ties for a position, additional positions (n-1) are filled beneath the tied position and the points are averaged out, according to the positions that are replaced by the tied position. E.g. If 4 players are tied for 6th, they earn 1.5 points each since 6th-8th offers a total of 6 points, which is shared between 4 players.
These points are collected for all 6 weeks into a qualifying leader board, the top 16 of which, at the end of the 6 weeks, qualify for the 16 man play-off stage, which will be seeded conventionally according to the leader board. Positions #17, #18, #19 and #20 will be listed as substitutes and be substituted in, in that order.

Important Information
Please make sure you understand the Smogon Tournament Rules before signing up for a week.
If purposeful repeated forfeiting to boost ladder points is discovered, both players involved will be disqualified from the tournament. One could also be disqualified by using another alt to benefit the signed up alt (not using another just by accident).
Battle Location
Qualification is on PS! (official server) only. Any other ladder will not be counted.
Contact Location
For Playoffs, contact opponents via profile posts on the Smogon Forums.
Playoffs format
The format of each round of the playoffs will be a bo3o3 or more specifically 3 sets of FT2Ws sets. For each round in the playoffs phase, 3 OverUsed tiers will be chosen randomly to comprise the first first-to-2-wins-set (best of 3, excluding ties) that applies to every match, and another 3 OU tiers will be included in the second FT2W (~bo3) set. The last set consists of the remaining OU tier as well as one OU tier picked by each of the players (players are allowed to pick the same tier). The player who wins 2 out of the 3 FT2W (~bo3) sets will progress.
