Please do note that we reserve the right to have tournaments in the newest format if and when a new game is released. The circuit will consist of the following tours:
We're gonna use the point system explained in this thread with Type A, B and C Tournaments having a maximum of 2400, 1600 and 800 equivalent points respectively.

Type A Tournaments:
- Official Smogon Tournament: The single most important CG OU individual tournament of the year, a Bo3 Single Elimination tournament that will decide the best player of the season.
- Official Ladder Tournament: The infamous Official Ladder Tournament will be our second Type A Tournament. With the Qualification Phase taking place in the dangerous SM OU Ladder, this tournament is known for bringing new names to the tour scene and gives them a chance at the second CG OU individual trophy of the year.
- OU Spring&Fall Seasonals: This year we're introducing 2 Seasonals to complement OST and OLT during Spring and Fall. The Spring and Fall Seasonals will be Bo3 Double Elimination tournaments where players get a second chance at victory after losing a series.
- OU Stour Tour: This year we're also introducing a pretty interesting concept as a side tournament: the STour Tour. For those that haven't heard of it before, it's a Bo3 Single Elimination tournament that mimics the Smogon Tour playoffs format with the 3 most recent OU gens being played.
OU Last Chance Tour: To round up the circuit we have one last Bo3 Single Elimination tournament for those in need of a last little push to make playoffs or just anyone who wants to play in one last SM tournament.
- Smogon Tour 27&28: We decided to include ST live tours performance in our circuit this year, meaning that everyone will get Type C points for their overall performance from all SM weeks each Season. Note that BW and ORAS live tours are not being taken into consideration here since they're already part of the RoA Circuit.
