Wan Shi Tongs Trials

[HUMANCHILD]

Hey y’all! Welcome to “Wan Shi Tongs Trials!”. Signup will start immediately and end on June 23, 2025 at 12:00. The tournament will begin the day after. At the end of the signups, I will announce who gets matched with who via random generation. The tournament will be held in two stages. The first stage will be a flighted round-robin. The total number of competitors will be split as evenly as possible into different pools/groups. In each pool, there will be a round-robin event. After the group stage, overall standings will be formed by putting together individual pools, and these standings will makeup your seed. Next is the DE, or the Double elimination stage-which is simply a two loss bracket. Each round will take 5 days, and the number of rounds will depend on how many players join. To join, go to the tournaments tab by clicking on the Garden Gate website sidebar, press “Wan Shi Tongs Trials” then scroll down and press Sign up. 
The winner of this tournament will receive an invitation to the IPSL Invitational event, alongside a Skud Tournament Winner role! 
Remember, you'll have to confirm with me on Discord as well.
