Losers' Bracket Rules
- Signups for round L1 will open when the main tournament signups end. This round will be open to anyone who missed the main tournament or who loses in round 1.
- Signups for round L1 will close approximately 2 days after the round 1 deadline.
- Signups for subsequent rounds will roughly correspond to the time frames of their main tournament counterparts (+2 days). These signups are only open to those players who lost in the corresponding round in the main tournament.
- Each round of the Losers' Bracket will be reseeded so that top half (by seed) remaining faces the bottom half (by seed) - the bottom half will be randomized, with the constraint that players will not be paired if they already played in the main tournament.
- If an odd number of players are in a given round, a bye will be given to the highest seed amongst players who have been in the Losers' Bracket the longest, have not already received a bye, and have played at least one match in either bracket.
- Seeding for players who missed main tournament signups will be estimated based on their position on the isotropish leaderboard at the time seeds were determined.
- If you are unable to contact your opponent in a round, let me know so that I can remind them. If a match still doesn't happen despite one of the players making an effort, that player will be awarded a bye and the other will be eliminated. If both players flake, it will be a double elimination.
- Match structure and settings will be the same as in the main tournament.
