NoisE Amateur StarLeague Season 2

The Up and Down format is a tournament format that supports a relatively small player count, for this reason, the qualifiers will be split into several pools of players. These 10 pools will be randomly assigned and will have players presented in a random order.

Within each pool, there will be a simultaneous number of games running equal to player count divided by two. If the number of players in a group is an odd number, the player in the last division will get a bye every round.

When players are assigned to their pools, they will also be given a placement number which represents their starting placement in the qualifier, a #1 would represent a first place start position whereas a #10 would present a 5th tier start location. These will be randomly assigned and will determine the innitial line up.

In order to qualify for the NoisE ASL 2, a player must finish in a top 3 position. One tier is gained per win and one is lost per defeat. In the end, the top 3 will consist of the players in tier 1 at the final game and the winner of tier 2 in the final game. The amount of games to be played per group will be equal to the amount of players in the group.

This count is equal to double the amount of skill categories, thus, give the players who were assigned lower positions sufficient time to climb back up if they have the skill requirement to qualify.
