Many runners in the discord server have stated that they are all in on the idea of holding a Classic Tournament done in a competitive format. Before we can continue with shaping the ruleset and deciding whether we wish to see this on GSA (if they have room on their schedule) or host it ourselves, who else would be interested in such a tournament? More info can be found and discussed in the discord server: https://discordapp.com/invite/TbnYgJs

Classic 5.0 Tournament Rules (still forging):

• Streaming is required
• Seeding based on rankings of 5.0 runs collectively
• Best of 3 up to Top 4, then Best of 5
• BO3 has 6 bans max, BO5 has 8 bans max
• 1-2-1 Pre-Game 1 format (may be based on coin flip if agreed on), lower seed bans 1st, higher seed bans 2nd and 3rd, lower seed bans 4th, higher seed picks character, Game 1 is played, Game 1 winner bans, loser picks character, Game 2 is played, repeat for Game 3-5 if set continues
• Dropping below 5.0 results in an automatic game win for the opponent
