Welcome to the ARMS Subreddit's first installment in our new biweekly tournament series! These will likely take place every other Saturday at this time (1pm PST/4pm EST), with future rulesets subject to change based on the community's input.

RULES



1. All ARM combinations for all characters are eligible, including + ARMS.



2. This is a single-elimination, 1v1 tournament. Each round will be a best-of-3 until the final two rounds, which will be a best-of-5. Each round will be held using ARMS's Arena Mode, with the "win" setting set to 1 coin to win.

3. During matches, the person on the top of the Challonge bracket will be the first to choose their stage. They may only choose "Legal" stages (see rule 5). During the the second and third rounds (if applicable), the loser of the previous match is able to choose their stage. They may choose any "Legal" or "Counterpick" stages (see Rule 5).

4. Players are expected to communicate with each other through special channels found on the ARMS Subreddit Discord (#tournament-chat-1/2) or through Discord PMs. Once matches are complete, both users must report the winner to #tournament-scores and wait for the next match. BE SURE TO SIGN IN TO THE TOURNAMENT ON DISCORD.
