Season Five: The Shere Cold Tournament

It is time to restart TeamUber’s Seasonal Shoddy Tournament! The Winter season is upon us and is a good time to get Season 6 underway. Seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 being a success, hopefully Season 6 will be even greater.

The Tournament Structure

OU: Week 1, Week 4, Week 7
UU: Week 2, Week 5, Week 8
Uber: Week 3, Week 6, Week 9

Each week, the days of Saturday and Sunday. A total of 18 tournaments (9x2)..

Won Round 1: 1 point
Won Round 1+2 = 1+2 = 3 points
Won Round 1+2+3 = 3+2 = 5 points
Won Round 1+2+3+4 = 5+2 = 7 points
Won Round 1+2+3+4+5 = 7+2 = 9 points

The highest you can earn in a 16 person (4 rounds) tournament is 7 points, the highest you can earn in a 32 person (5 rounds) tournament is 9 points. You can participate in both tournaments on the same week, but ONLY your best score in those two tournaments will be displayed. For example, if you won 3 points on Saturday and 7 points on Sunday, the amount of points you earn is 7.

You must earn as much points as you can during the nine week period. The top eight players that have scored the most points will be awarded into the playoffs. Where they will battle head to head in a single elimination battle (on OU, UU, and Ubers). This is how the playoffs will be matched up. Lets say the following members (the fruits represent members) are in the playoffs with the following points:

Rank 1: Apple [40 points]
Rank 2: Banana [36 points]
Rank 3: Strawberry [33 points]
Rank 4: Cherry [31 points]
Rank 5: Watermelon [29 points]
Rank 6: Grapefruit [29 points]
Rank 7: Rasberry [28 points]
Rank 8: Orange [27 points]

Rank 1 will battle Rank 8, Rank 2 will battle Rank 7, etc. So as you can see the highest scorer will battle the lowest scorer. Thus, gaining the most points gives you an advantage by battling the "weakest" person in the playoffs.

From what I've seen with all the past tournaments, the BEST way to get into the playoffs is by making sure that you take part in as many tournaments as possible. You want to obtain as much points as possible, to do that you must participate in as much tournaments as you can.

Another thing to mention, is that these are live tournaments, so they will most likely take place about 10~20 mins after sign-ups, so don't wander off! All tournaments will take place on the TeamUber Shoddy Server
