What does it mean to sign up for 2v2 SB Tour?
Signing up for the tour does not mean you get to play in the tour, you must qualify for it first.
Signing up just ensures that if you do qualify for the tour by achieving a high enough rating by the end of February 2022, then you will have a spot in the brackets (# of spots and format of tour will be determined).
Signing up for the tour also makes you eligible to receive the additional monthly prizes which will be given to the top rated 2v2 players for the months of December, January and February (e.g., four top 2v2 players receive $10 each).
Do I need ally or can I play with random public partners?
You can participate in this qualifier with or without a designated ally, meaning you can use SB's "designated partner" or "random public partner" options to pair up with allies. So it is not a problem if you sometimes play with a designated partner and sometimes play with random public partners during the qualifier. Just focus on maximizing your wins and having fun!
How does SB match system work?
It's similar to 1v1 ladder on battlenet. SB 2v2 ladder will try to pair you up with an ally (if you need a random public partner) and opponents who are similar to you in rating and ping. If the system has trouble doing that, only then will it try to match you with people who have different ratings and pings.
How do 2v2 ladder points work?
2v2 SB ladder has its own modified elo system. Points are won or lost based on the ratings of your opponents. So high rated teams will receive few points for beating much lower rated teams.
What can you do to help?
Please spread the word about 2v2 SB ladder and this tournament and consider donating to the prize pool (even $1 if you can). These things will help attract more 2v2 players and make sure enough matches can always be found on SB by the ladder system. Working together, we can help build a 2v2 community on SB

In the spirit of Christmas, **MyFleetingDream** has decided to finance the monthly prizes of the 2v2 SB Tour. These prizes will NOT be taken out of the final prize pool of the 2v2 SB Tour. These monthly prizes are in addition to the final prizes we are offering to the winners of the tour at the very end. MyFleetingDream had also donated $200 to that final prize pool by the way!
For the qualifying months of December 2021, January 2022 and February 2022, the top rated four individuals on SB 2v2 ladder who are also registered for the tournament will receive $25 each! The prizes will be paid out via Matcherino at the end of each month (e.g., December prize will be paid out in early January) courtesy of MyFleetingDream <3
Make sure you are signed up for the 2v2 SB tour in order to be eligible to receive the monthly prizes!

A registered tour player cannot win two monthly prizes for him/herself in a single month by placing top 4 with two different accounts
It is possible for a registered tour player to win a single monthly prize for one or more qualifying months (December, January and/or February).

Round 1 of the tournament is officially complete! Round 2 is currently underway!
We plan to broadcast a lot of matches from this tournament once it is complete during one long stream event in the near future. So no spoilers.
Here's a message from MyFleetingDream.
BOUNTY CHALLENGE
I am personally introducing a Foreigner-vs-Korea Bounty for this tournament. Scan + Zelot are favorites to win the tournament, as can seen by their SB ladder MMR and records. The challenge is to see who can train to defeat them! Scan + Zelot will not make this easy, as they will also receive a Survival Challenge.
Any team that defeats Scan + Zelot in their match will win $100
If Scan + Zelot can win the whole tournament losing no more than 5 games, then they will win $100 in addition to their tournament prize money.
