Season points in the first stage will be awarded for every battle won. In the elimination rounds, two points will be awarded for winning the set.
Once again, you need to win three battles across the first two weeks to advance to the following round! All matches after the first stage are ft2w (Bo3)
Be sure to check out the viability rankings for discussion of the tier!
Please be visibly active in scheduling matches (VMs)! If you contact via means that I can't see (e.g. Discord PM) then it is up to you to inform me of how things have gone in the event that a match comes to activity. Also, feel free to request extensions, I really don't mind giving them most of the time.

Tour format
This tournament is divided into two stages- the initial stage and the elimination stage
Initial stage
This stage consists of two rounds (one week each), with each round consisting of three battles. In order to advance to the next stage, each player must win three of their six battles. After the initial stage, the tournament progresses on to the elimination stage, unless it is absolutely impossible to create a reasonable bracket. At present this is randomly seeded.
Elimination stage
This is single elimination, with each match being Bo3. Players are seeded as best as possible based on the results from the initial stage. The bracket should be able to be resolved with 1v1 and 1v1v1 matches, with at most a handful of byes.
Why I use this format
I've implemented this format to address issues with standard single elimination, where half of all players would play just a single match and be done with the tournament. That kind of result is thoroughly unsatisfactory for many players, especially those who expected to go deep into the tournament. The initial stage addresses this by requiring that all players play at least two sets, which is a more substantial experience, while also being relatively generous in terms of who progresses to the following round
