INVITATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

Player rankings will be determined using CP (Circuit Points). The top 12 players with CP will qualify for the Invitational, with the top 4 getting a round 1 bye.
Any tiebreaks necessary to determine byes/top 12/seeding will be decided by highest live tours score.
The circuit has a BFL (Best Finish Limit) of 4 (Including roomtours and cartridge tours). Therefore, only your top 4 performances will count towards your ranking. In other words, having one bad tournament does not negatively impact you directly.
Point structure:
- Showdown Tournaments
  - Players will earn the amount of CP equivalent to the last round that they won in before getting eliminated, not including activity wins. A loss in the Winner's Bracket will count as a win in the Loser's bracket for that round. For example, if you lose in Round 6 in Winner's Bracket, and lose in Round 7 of Loser's Bracket, you will get 6CP and not 5CP.
  - Winning the finals of a tournament will earn you 2 extra CP.
  - Ladder Tournament qualifiers will earn 6 CP for qualifying as 1st seed and 4 CP for seeds 2-4 in each cycle, and 2 CP per win in playoffs.
- Live Tours (maximum 15 CP per year)
  - Friendly Competitions:
    - Held on cartridge through Battle Stadium. A three hour laddering contest in which each player has up to 25 battles to climb as high as possible.
