LCQ & Playoffs Information
LCQ Format (Marvel Rivals & SSBU Only)
- LCQ is scheduled to have matches on Saturday, 11/22, but can be rescheduled as long as they are completed by Sunday 11/30 @ 11:59PM. They may also be moved up to be finished during a weekday once matches are generated.
Marvel Rivals
- The top 6 teams from each group in Premier will advance to playoffs, the bottom 2 in each Premier group will have to play in LCQ BEFORE playoffs begin.
- The top 16 teams from across all Contender groups advance to playoffs.
- Spots 17-20 in Contender will join a bracket with the 4 teams that fall from Premier to fight for the last 4 remaining spots in Playoffs.
SSBU
- The top 28 teams from across all groups will advance directly to playoffs.
- Spots 29-38 will compete in LCQ for the final FOUR spots. The remainder will be eliminated until the spring split!
Playoffs Format
- Playoffs will be a single-elimination bracket tournament with Rounds 1 and 2 played in week 1 and Quarter Finals - Semi-Finals running week 2. There will be no grand finals or third place match.
- Tournament days will mirror the same days as during the season. (Rivals on Monday, SSBU on Tuesday, etc)
- Your team's final placement in the playoffs bracket will determine the number of split points awarded for the Fall Split (Split points determine eligibility for States)
PAY ATTENTION TO THESE DETAILS:
- Playoffs will run from Dec 1st - 11th, with 2 rounds scheduled each week. All games must be completed by Dec 14th, 11:59pm
- The first scheduled round of each week MUST be completed by the scheduled date. The next round can either be played that same day or rescheduled for a later date. ** You can request a reschedule of the first round to be before the scheduled date, just not after.
- For example, if your match is scheduled for Thursday, and you are not available that day, you can reschedule for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of that week for it to count.
- Any scheduled 1st round game not completed by its date will be counted as a ff and will result in elimination from the playoff tournament.
Split Points!
Once each split is over, teams will earn split points based on their playoffs placement. These points will stack across splits to form a season-long Split Points Leaderboard. After both splits are complete, the top 8 teams on the split points leaderboard will qualify for the Spring 2026 State Finals.
