Idea stolen from Amaranth and adapted to be more simple
DPP OU Rising Stars
This is a tournament for DPP OU players wanting a last chance to show what they've got before SPL, called DPP OU Rising Stars.
16 players amongst the sign ups will be invited to participate. I will handpick and seed the participants amongst the signups.
I will select people who have a realistic chance of getting picked up for SPL, but aren't guaranteed their slot. If you're already one of the best, this tournament is not for you.
If you're not one of the best remaining 16 players, try again next year (I will probably run this again if the first edition goes well).
