Introducing the Official Little Cup Tournament Circuit

Hello, and welcome to the Official LC Tournament Circuit. This will be an annual cycle consisting of 4 LC Official tournaments, and an invite only tournament at the end of the year. The 5 qualifying tournaments are:

- The Official LC Tournament (to be hosted in the Tournaments sub forum)
- The Official LC Ladder Tournament
- The Official LC OM Tour
- The LC Tour

How to qualify

People the reach the semifinals of an official tournament will qualify

The final tournament will be a 16 person tour. If 16 people do not qualify, we will invite 'wildcards' for anyone who has not qualified but still has a good record in each of the qualification tournaments. Invites will be based solely on performance in these 4 tournaments, with reputation not being taken into account.

Schedule

The Official LC Tournament will begin in March/April and last for approximately 3 months.

The Official LC Ladder Tournament will begin in May and will last for approximately 2-3 Months

The Official LC OM Tour will begin in Auagust and last for approximately 3 months.

The LC Tour will start in November and last approximately 2 Months.

The Invite Tour will start in January.

This schedule is made with the idea that there will always be an official LC Tournament running at any given time. There will always be LC minitours running alongside them.

Indivial Tournament Formats

The Official LC Tournament

This will be a standard tournament held in the Tournaments subforum, with each round being a BO3 in current LC, hosted by Rowan

The Official LC Ladder Tournament

The format of this tournament will be similar to the Smogon Official Ladder Tournament, but half the size. It will consist of 4 ladder cycles, and the top 4 players will qualify each time, creating a 16 man, double elimination playoffs. It will be hosted by Celestavian.

The Official LC OM Tournament

This will be a tournament in swiss format with each week having a different gimmick/other meta, including some of our favourites from the subforum minitours, such as AAA LC and LC Stabmons, and others such as LC UU, LC Ubers, ADV LC and more!
Depending on the amount of players entered, the top 16 or top 32 will qualify for the playoffs. The first couple of rounds will be a BO3, with the higher seed choosing which tier to play in G1, the lower seed choosing game 2, and if a third game is needed, the higher seed will pick it. (Each tier must be different). The later on throughout the tournament, it will change to a BO5, with possibly a BO7 in the final. The higher seed will always pick first, meaning that doing well in the swiss rounds is important.

The LC Tour

This is similar to the Smogon tour. It will be in DPP, BW2, and ORAS with 3 live tournaments a week on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Weeks 1&4 will be DPP, weeks 2&5 BW2, weeks 3&6 ORAS. Each week points will be given out depending on how well you do. At the end of the 6 weeks, a top 8 will qualify for the playoffs which will be a BO3 in DPP, BW2 and ORAS. This will be run by QuoteCS + lots of volunteer hosts.

The Invite Tournament
This will be a simple, unseeded, 16 man, double elimination tournament in ORAS LC. With the winner being crowned the LC Champion!

Hello, I've made some changes to the tournament circuit. The frontier will no longer allow you to qualify for the invite only tournament. This is because we don't know how difficult it'll actually be and it's difficult to control how many people win, along with it's vastly different format. There will still be a LC frontier, but it won't count towards the circuit.

This means there are only 4 qualifying tournaments in the circuit - Official LC Tournament, LC Ladder Tournament, LC Other Metagames Tournament, and the LC Tour. Reaching the final 4 of any of these will allow you to qualify.
