Rules

This tournament uses standard L97 rules. Please familiarize yourself with the League 97 rules by clicking here.

Tourney Format

The 2013 League 97 Championship event will consist of a qualifier followed by the main event. Select players will automatically qualify for the main event, based on past performance. Players without an automatic bid must participate in the qualifying event in order to potentially receive a tournament bid. The main event will consist of 18 battlers. Battlers who have finished in the top four of a past event automatically qualify for the main event, those battlers are listed below. Battlers with an automatic bid need not be concerned with the qualifier and its procedure, but battlers with an automatic bid will still have an opportunity to battle prior to the main event. Battlers who must participate in the qualifier should pay close attention to the next section. Here are the automatic qualifiers listed below:

2013 League 97 Automatic Qualifiers

Inaugural Event: Pisha1, Mopardude, Penguinqwert, Mcdooby

Castle Lupenstein: **2ouche, Okay__, Wapakski_06

Summer Scorcher: Cashe322

Garoo Unchained: Xskimdlove, Brightsolitude, Toon_link_dancing, Nalare

**Denotes user is frozen

Note that repeat names have been omitted. The list above means there will be no more than 11 automatic qualifiers.

Qualifier Format

Update: Battlers have been split into just two pools. Note that these two pools are larger than the pool sizes stated below, and that there will be just one top half and one bottom half pool in week two. These mega-pools mean more battles will be fought and all week-one top-half competitors will face off in week two to decide who makes the main event!

Battlers participating in the qualifier will be randomly placed into pools of ~8-10 battlers for week one of the qualifier. Battlers should attempt to battle all players of their own pool over the course of the week. Battles will battle each opponent exactly three times. Scoring is as follows:

At the end of week one, battlers will again be randomly placed into pools of ~6-8 battlers, with one new distinction: battlers who finish in the top half of their week one pool will be randomly placed with other top half battlers and battlers who finish in the bottom half of their week one pool will be randomly placed with other bottom half battlers. Battlers who do not record a single battle in week one will be dropped from the event. Battlers in the top half pools will be competing for spots in the main event, while battlers in the bottom half pools will be ineligible for the main event. However, the bottom half pools in week two will be consolation pools, and the battler with the most points in each of these pools will receive a trophy! The battlers in the top half pools will be battling to move onto the main event; the number of available spots in the main event will be announced once signups close, since this number is subject to change. The top half pool battlers with the highest point totals in their week two pools will advance to the main event. The top battler in terms of points in each top half pool is guaranteed a spot in the main event, remaining spots will be filled from any top half pool based on week two points. In the event of a tie for the final spot of the main event, a playoff will be arranged between tied parties.

Main Event Format

The main event will be seeded single elimination. All match ups in the main event will be best two of three, with extra battles taking place to settle ties after three battles. Since the main event will feature a field of 18 battlers, this means that the four lowest seeds will have an additional match up in order to cut the field to 16. Seeds will be determined following the conclusion of the qualifier. Seeding will be based on past performance, the World Rankings, as well as performance in the qualifier and automatic qualifier scrimmage. The committee will agree on a tournament seeding the week leading up to the main event. The following players will serve on the committee:

Neoskulltula, Penguinqwert, Pisha1, Mopardude, Toon_link_dancing, Soopaa_beast

Automatic Qualifier Scrimmage

Update: All AQs will face off against all other AQs, replacing the mini-pools!

In an effort to give the automatic qualifiers some reps leading up to the main event, the automatic qualifiers will be divided into two randomly generated "mini-pools". Automatic qualifiers will battle other automatic qualifiers within the same pool. These match ups will be exactly three battles, just like the qualifier, but with one important difference. Since the automatic qualifiers already have a tournament bid secured, these battles are essentially optional. However, these battles will help determine seeding, and while an automatic qualifier reserves the right to decline these battles, doing so could hurt their seeding more than any outcome of the battles! Automatic qualifiers are strongly encouraged to participate in the scrimmage!
