OP adapted from 2023 UULT.
Hosted by Akeras
Welcome to the 2024 SV UnderUsed Ladder Tournament! After spectacular wins by Lily and starbitstorm the last two years, we return for the second Ladder Tournament of generation 9! In this tournament, players will compete for a top spot on the ladder, and the top 8 from each cycle will then qualify for the playoffs phase. On top of that, qualifying will yield points for the official UnderUsed Circuit, in which players will compete at the end of the year for a chance to earn one of the coveted ribbons.
Playoffs Phase
This part is fairly straight-forward. During this stage, the top 32 will face off in a single elimination, Best-of-3 SV UU bracket. The first stage of the playoffs phase, where the 32 qualified players will battle each other in a swiss bracket to see who moves on to the top 16. Players continue playing in this swiss stage until they have won or lost two matches. Players who win 2 out of 3 games in the swiss stage will move on to the second stage of playoffs. In the second stage of playoffs, where only 16 remaining players remain, they will battle each other in a single elimination bracket to see who wins the whole thing.
