Welcome to the sixth and final cycle of the first season of the Never Used League! Sorry for the wait on this one, but this tour was decidedly less important than NU Open and I didn't want to flood people's schedules. This is the final cycle until play offs, so if you're aiming to get your name in top 8, this is your last chance! Be sure to check the leader board to see how many points you need to make it into play offs. On colored leader board scores and making it into playoffs:

After several grueling months of intense competition, we're left with one final bracket to determine who can take the gold in the first season of the NU League. All of our competitors up to this point have rightfully earned their spot here in the playoffs, so hopefully we'll see some great matches.

After an extremely close tiebreaker round, we're left with 8 finalists. From here on, these finalists will be competing with one another in a double elimination bracket to determine our champion.
