Welcome to the New Challenger SFV NA Underdog Series, Season 7, 8 tournament seasonal league. The season finishes with an Invitational tournament for players qualifying via a points system. Points are awarded via a points system based on CPT rules. Full Rules are as follows:

• Must be a member of the New Challenger discord.
• Must own SFV (PC or PS4 ok!), and be in the North America region.
• Must check-in here on Challonge 30 minutes prior to the tournament start time.
• Brackets will be seeded initially based on LP, then by season standings, with LP as a tie-breaker.
• Weeklies will be Swiss Format to allow maximum participation for new players (No eliminations!).
• Swiss matches will be played as best of 3 matches.
• Matches are worth 1pt on win, 0.5pt in the unlikely event of a draw. Byes count as a victory and are thus worth 1pts.
• The loser of the previous game may switch characters or VTrigger.
• The winner of the previous game may switch V-Trigger only if the opponent switches their character.
• Dojo, Field of Fate, Flamenco Tavern, Kanzuki Beach, Ring of Galaxy, Skies of Honor, and Temple of Ascension are banned.
• Tournament will progress one round at a time, with one or more matches chosen by the Tournament Organizers to stream each round. Wait for the signal in the discord #tournaments channel before starting the next round. If you start early, and are then chosen for the stream match, you will have to replay your match.
• For non-stream matches, invite amongst yourselves, then record the results on challonge. It's the winner's responsibility to make sure challonge is updated accurately. Enter the end score, and click your name at the prompt. If there is any problem or dispute, let one of the Tournament Organizers know in chat.
• If you are a no show for your match by the time another match in that round has finished, your opponent will be given a bye.
• If you have issues with lag during your match, please follow the guidelines regarding lag listed in the Code of Conduct, below.

Points Breakdown:

The season finale invitational tournament will consist of 16 slots. Invitations will be offered by order of total points earned. Points for placement are earned in each weekly event and based directly off of CPT points, as seen in the below image:

General Participant Code of Conduct:

The purpose of these tournaments is for players to test what they've learned and find room for further improvement in an environment with like-minded players. Participants are entrusted via the Honor Code with reporting their scores correctly. If you believe something was incorrectly scored please have screenshots and message a TO in Discord. We also suggest that previous Underdog champions or high-ranking players consider taking part in higher level tournaments (such as the r/sf Dumpster Fire).

It is extremely disrespectful to other participants, viewers, and TO's to sandbag, collude, randomselect, intentionally throw matches, or leave mid-match. Participants who disrespect the tournament format and participants in this manner are subject to immediate disqualification at the TO's discretion. Being disruptive or disrespectful to other players may result in an immediate disqualification, mute, and/or strike towards a ban from the discord and future events.

Understand that you may not get the best possible connection if your match-up is East Coast vs. West Coast. While we would all like to play in minimal ping this is simply not possible. The best we can offer is a single remake of the lobby using training stage, or time for players to reset their connections.

When a remake for lag is called, the rest of the round/game may not be played out and instead the player calling for the remake should submit to allow the match to end quickly in order to remake. If the round is continued and played out normally, the remake is forfeit.

For lag-related disputes we will have both players submit a screenshot from testing their connection against "Kansas Research and Education Network, Kansas City, MO" using https://testmyspeed.onl/ Either (or both) players will be DQ'd if they cannot produce a test result with over 3Mbps upload, and less than 100 combined ping + jitter.

We understand that playing in a high latency connection can be frustrating, but please play to the best of your ability regardless.

Please bring lag problems to our attention as early in the tournament as possible, in order to protect the playout of end-bracket matches.
