Following discussion in this thread it has been decided that we will begin testing BW2 1B, while offering BW2 OU as 1X as an alternative until such a time as BW2 is fit for 1U status. If you wish to discuss this plan, you are more than welcome to post in the aforementioned thread.
So! This leaves us with some testing to do, hence this tour. The format is simple- it's a pseudo-round robin*, with weekly matchups consisting of 3 battles each. Players are welcome to come and go as they please. An important thing to note is that joining this tour is important if you want to have your say in shaping this tier, and if a council is necessary, performance in this tour will be considered.
*restrictions imposed by prior matchups are currently only determined by the last few rounds, not the tournament as a whole
