This Bracket will be limited to USA, Canada and Mexico.
XBOX Live ID, and Challonge Display Name for this tournament MUST all be the same.

All names being the same is crucial for both finding your opponent and clarity for the TO. Please respect everybody’s time and make yourself easy to find. Keep in mind, to ping someone in Discord you only need to type "@" followed by the first few letters of their name and hit TAB to autocomplete.
Discord: type "/nick <XBOX Live ID>" DO NOT change your name to "name you like XBOX Live ID: Your XBOX Live ID" as this is MUCH HARDER to search for in discord
Challonge: Once you are registered hit the big orange button that says "GO TO YOUR SETTINGS" to change your name to your XBOX Live ID

Bracket is capped at 32 players
You must Check In on Challonge and be available in the Discord prior to the start time of the tournament. Check In takes place 1 hour before the tournament begins. Registering up is not the same as Checking In.
The higher seeded player is encouraged to create the lobby and invite their opponent but is not required to do so. Communicate with your opponent in the Discord to determine who will create the lobby.
Upon the request of the TO in the Discord, join the stream lobby.
Winner must report the match on Challonge.
Only one console/account per entrant.
DO NOT compete in Round 1 until the tournament has officially begun. Brackets are automatically reorganized by Challonge prior to the start of the tournament to account for competitors who have not checked in. (This usually takes a few minutes past start time to assure proper seeding)
