This is a post about when lineups are expected and how any potential tiebreakers will work. I really should've come up with some way to notify all the managers in a more efficient way than this but I didn't, so tagging Sylveon. The Immortal Jrdn OM room neomon TheShadowClaw Mark_K Terracotta MAMP Chloe Willdbeast Hamhamhamham sed drampa's grandpa Anaconja Gurpreet Patel (Sent you a Friend Request) In The Hills Ransei because all your teams can qualify and Uselesscrab and ayedan because MIDBEST
The deadline tomorrow is at 10PM EST. Assuming there are no ties for qualification, I will expect all 4 captains whose teams have qualified to send their lineups to me by 10AM EST on Monday the 19th; I will post the semifinals round soon after that. This is just to be fair to all the regions, it's a lot harder for North Europe or Asia to send in a lineup at 10PM EST. If there is a tie for which teams move on (both teams have exactly the same W/L record), I will need managers of the tied teams to send in which metagame they choose for the tiebreaker. The tiebreaker format will be a best of 3. Teams which qualify for playoffs but are not tied with other teams can still wait to see the results of the tiebreaker before sending in their semifinals lineups, since they probably won't know who they're playing. The tiebreaker format will be one slot of Anything Goes (Bo3) and two slots chosen by the tied teams from the remaining 5 metas. Anything Goes cannot be chosen twice, this would vastly advantage teams with multiple Anything Goes players while at the moment only one Anything Goes starter is required. I hope this makes it clear to all managers exactly what is expected of them, please PM me if you are unsure on anything.
Side note, I can't believe there's about 24 hrs to deadline with 80% of the games done and 9/10 teams could still easily qualify, this is gonna be down to the wire.
e: dont quote me on this but p sure mamp's win there means south can no longer qualify

they simply do not respect the syrup.
Our heavenly overlords will smite them, and they will be cursed by bad luck
(unless they are jrdn or klang, who are devout syrup respecters)

I don’t get it
Alright, there's a couple of games left but they won't change the outcome at this point. Congratulations to Team Canada, Team Oceania, and Team US Northeast for making it to semifinals! As for the last team, we're going to need to be doing a playoff between teams Asia and US West to determine who gets the honor of facing down the syrup, and that'll be up as soon as I get metas then lineups from Sylveon. The Immortal Anaconja Gurpreet Patel (Sent you a Friend Request). Please PM a the non-AG meta of your choosing.
Oceania and Northeast, DO NOT play games early. Just wait until the full semis round goes up please and ty.
