Introduction

RBY OU Global Championship is a standard RBY OU Tournament with a goal to find the best RBY OU player of the year. Previous winners are Tiba , Prague Kick and Peasounay.

Each round will consist of 2 stages. The first stage each player will be given 2 sets of pairings in which they play a first-to-2-wins (best of 3 excluding ties) vs their opponent. After the first stage is completed and the host has determined wins, players who win both their matches go through to the next round, while players who lost twice are eliminated. The players who won 1, lost 1, battle it out in a tiebreaker FT2W in stage 2 to join the two-time winners in the next round or the player wins the tournament in the case of a final.

The prize returns: a $50 (or equivalent) amazon gift card will be given out to the winner of the entire tournament!​

predicting that i split my 2 sets vs beds and then fight him again in losers bracket
Too late this year. I mean I know no one sees, but I really want to read the pairings as little as possible. I tend to only repair when I mess something up badly because not like I really want to painstakingly fix stuff (it might not be possible in some cases).

I think it'd be hard to see the double pairings in the larger earlier rounds also. I guess the ideal solution would be for some script / spreadsheet formula etc. to do the first pairing, then repeat if it sees one line is the same in both sets. The complications, though, are the pairings could be written backwards and the rounds are different sizes, so it's not totally straightforward to do.
 
My predictions (if they are worth anything at all)
Set 1
Bedschibaer vs Nails
sceptross vs Picollo
Heroic Troller vs roudolf13
Golden Gyarados
vs (Luigi vs Teddeh)
(Tzara vs undisputed) vs Lavos
TropicalTeo
vs The Quasar

Set 2
Picollo vs The Quasar
sceptross vs Lavos
(Luigi vs Teddeh) vs roudolf13
Bedschibaer vs Nails
TropicalTeo vs Heroic Troller
(Tzara vs undisputed) vs Golden Gyarados
