The Tournaments and Tours Plaza rooms host several tournaments and competitions every year where the best of the best compete for glory and prizes! Below you can find a brief overview of each.
The Leaderboard
In each tournament (except Monotype Random Battle, Challenge Cup 1v1, Hackmons Cup and Super Staff Bros), players will be awarded points for being a semi-finalist, runner-up, or winner, to be tracked by our bot Lady Monita. (to see your current score, send it a PM with .rank ) These point values depend on the number of participants in the tournament and whether or not it is the official format of the day. The leaderboard is also maintained by Lady Monita. To see the top 10, send it a PM with: .top 10 (the 10 can be substituted with other numbers to see other areas of the board).
At the end of each two-week period, the players with the most points and bits will be crowned the winner. They will be given Room Prize Winner (^) and have their name displayed in the room intro, as well as a place in the Hall of Fame.
Best Leaderboarders Tournament (BLT)
BLT is a team tournament where top players on the monthly leaderboard are drafted into eight teams and compete for the ultimate win!
Qualifying for BLT is based on your position and points on the leaderboard. The top eight players for four cycles are placed in a guaranteed draft pool, where they're assured a spot on a team. Any player who doesn't make the top eight but who achieves 30 points or more are placed in a separate, non-guaranteed draft pool for a chance at being drafted.
Tours' Leaderboard Tournament (TLT)
TLT is an individual tournament where players race to top the leaderboard in order to qualify for a spot!
Players qualify for TLT by being in one of the top slots on the monthly leaderboard. Those who qualify are then seeded and given a list of several tiers. They and their opponent will take turns locking and eliminating tiers until they are left with (in the early rounds) three tiers, and play a best of three, or (in the later rounds) five tiers, and play a best of five. TLT is traditionally a double elimination tournament, giving more than one chance to win!
Tours Plaza Premiere (TPP)
TPP is a team tournament that features tiers that fit with the theme of Tours Plaza, such as OM Mashups and formats with custom rules. There are no leaderboard requirements to have a spot in the draft pool, simply signing up is enough. Be prepared for non-traditional formats though! Past TPPs have featured tiers like Doubles NU, Same Six, and STAAABmons.
Tours Plaza Classic (TPC)
Tours Plaza Classic is an individual, single elimination tournament that tests players' skills in custom formats. There is no qualifying process, just sign up to play! In early rounds, games are played as a best of three in a single format. In semifinals, games are played as a best of three in three different formats. And in the finals, the games are played as a best of five in five unique formats.
Tours Plaza Ghosting Tour (TPGT)
Teams consisting of a captain and up to three other players face off in randomly chosen custom tiers. The captain plays, while their teammates "ghost" them, or give them help and advice on what they should do in the battle. Teams play best of one rounds until one team emerges victorious!
Tours Plaza Monthly Championship (TPMC)
Held at the end of each month (except when TPP is occurring), TPMC is an individual, single elimination tournament. The top four players on the Tours Plaza leaderboard from both cycles qualify, with the top 5-8 qualifying as substitutes. The three formats to be played are chosen via community poll and the order they're played in randomly determined. The winner is crowned that month's champion, and earns a spot in the room intro and Hall of Fame!
