Welcome to the ninth edition of the Other Metagames Grand Slam! This competition is based on the Smogon Grand Slam. In short, the Grand Slam is a series of smaller tournaments (called Opens) where battlers gain points as they progress past each round. This year will still have a best-finish-limit of 4, which means that only your top 4 performances out of the six Opens will count. After the last Open ends, the 8 players with the most points advance to a final tournament where they battle in a best-of-five until only one person remains! This is the first set of tournaments as part the 2024 Other Metas Tour Circuit where the top players who have earned points will compete for the OM Ribbon!
The format consists of six separate tournaments: Almost Any Ability Open, STABmons Open, Balanced Hackmons Open, Godly Gift Open, Partners in Crime Open, and Mix and Mega Open.
Signups for each Open will be posted according to the following dates:
- Almost Any Ability - March 3 - hosted by dhelmise
- STABmons - March 3 - hosted by Isaiah
- Balanced Hackmons - March 10 - hosted by UT
- Godly Gift - March 10 - hosted by TBA
- Partners in Crime - March 17 - hosted by TBA

Be sure to join the Other Metagames Discord for live tournament discussion, or if you need to contact a host. This is not the sign-up thread, so you don't need to post "in." You sign-up for the Opens individually, which will all have their own separate threads posted in Circuit Tournaments.
Good luck to all participants!
