Introduction
Welcome to RoA's second Ladder Tournament!
It will consist of 2 phases:
1. Ladder Qualification (6 weeks)
2. Playoffs (~4 weeks)
Qualification
Weeks 1-6 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.
Playoffs
For each round in the playoffs phase, 3 OverUsed tiers will be chosen randomly to comprise the initial first-to-2-wins-set (best of 3, excluding ties) that applies to every match, and the remaining 3 OU tiers will be included in the other FT2W (~bo3) set. The player who wins both FT2W (~bo3) sets will progress. In the case both players win a set each, or indeed any tie-breaking case in this tournament, players must choose 1 tier each to constitute 2 games of the tie-breaking FT2W set, while the final tie-breaking game will be chose randomly at the start of each round. The first two sets will contain all 6 gen OUs, but one may play a generation's OU tier however many times they want in the tiebreaker set. Any tied games will result in that tier being replayed for the following game.

Signing up
The [Gen 3] OU ladder is currently empty, so you will not be required to create a fresh alt this week
Only signup and ladder with 1 alt (your regular one)
Your alt needs to be voice and above to be able to ladder, so contact a smogtours moderator and above to get voiced on your regular account if you aren't already.
Good Luck. The final ladder positions for this week will be observed at a random time during February 8th (with the time announced along with the results) and qualified users will be alerted in the concluding post of this thread.
The top 8 of a week will exclude players who haven't signed up, but still maintain its size, so there may be cases where the week's top 8 differs from the ladder's top 8.
