Stage One
The first is the actual laddering portion of the tournament, which will last an entire month. The four participants with the highest rating at the end of each week will be entered into the playoffs. If a player "won" for multiple weeks, the next highest rated person will be admitted into the playoffs.
Stage Two
At the end of the laddering stage (stage one), the playoffs will start with the sixteen top ladder players of the month. Pairings will be randomized. More information on format and rules are listed below. Since there is a possibility we will need substitutes for the tournament, we'll take the 5th and 6th people in each period and randomize them as subs if needed. If you qualify as #5 or #6, you are still able to participate in other cycles and try to qualify for the top 4 of a given cycle.
Before participating in this tournament, please take some time to read the following threads:
Week 1 Deadline: November 16th, 9:00pm EST
Week 4 Deadline: December 9th, 9:00pm EST
In the event that there is an uncompleted match at the deadline, it will be coin flipped unless one or both of the players involved in the match specifically request an activity win and explain sufficiently why they deserve to win over their opponent. Attempting to schedule a battle is required in order to receive the win by activity. To make it clear that you are requesting an activity win when you post, you must open your post with "Activity Win Request".

Welcome to the ORAS NeverUsed Ladder Tournament
This tournament will consist of two stages
The first is the actual laddering portion of the tournament, which will last an entire month. The four participants with the highest rating at the end of each week will be entered into the playoffs. If a player "won" for multiple weeks, the next highest rated person will be admitted into the playoffs.
Stage Two
At the end of the laddering stage (stage one), the playoffs will start with the sixteen top ladder players of the month. Pairings will be randomized. More information on format and rules are listed below. Since there is a possibility we will need substitutes for the tournament, we'll take the 5th and 6th people in each period and randomize them as subs if needed. If you qualify as #5 or #6, you are still able to participate in other cycles and try to qualify for the top 4 of a given cycle.
Before you start laddering, you MUST create a fresh alt and post the name with the tag:
NLT Username or NU+letter of your choice Username
Example: NLT Pokedots, NUB Pokedots
NLT Username or NU+letter of your choice Username
Example: NLT Pokedots, NUB Pokedots
- This will allow me to track who is actually entered into the tournament, and more importantly, that everyone starts on fresh alts.
- In regards to discussion in this thread, I will allow discussion of what you guys see on the ladder. This can be anything from ladder trends to who's making a large push on the ladder. To clarify, I will allow posts on ladder players. This is meant to be a competition of sorts, so compete and talk about it.
- You can sign up at any point during any cycle
