Introduction:
If you guys know your life cycles, the reincarnation part of it goes into effect here. This series was never originally intended to be reincarnated as a potential sequel series for Splatoon 2, but second thoughts can prove otherwise. In other words, Turficane is back, but as a new spinoff series to the original, and the original is for real discontinued. Recapping the final installment of the old series, Extermination finally managed to break out with a win, beating the winners of Turficane 4 Crème Fresh with a 4-1 score. After being known as the runners-up to the former unified Chimera on a pair of occasions, and as a top 3 finisher in 4 of 5 installments, they succumbed no more, thanks to the eventual recruits known as Kirito and Banana. With this new potential spinoff series here, we should see how it fares, and if it becomes a success, expect more. Also, the reason for the inclusion of Neo should remind you of the Neo variants of certain weapons, and the fact that in some way, this is the Neo variant of the old series, hopefully better than that in the same matter of the Neo weapons being more superior to the originals in Splatoon 1, if you agree that is. Another thing to mention is that if this goes through, Turficane will be the first organization to have used 3 different tournament organization sites, which includes Challonge for the first 2 installments, smash.gg for the final 3, and now Battlefy for this new tournament.

Then, in Day 2, the bracket stage resumes with said top 8 in each bracket.
Bracket A should feature 16 teams, and the top 2 teams of each group entering Day 2 will play in that bracket, and that bracket will be double elimination.

The format for this bracket will be single elimination, and there's going to be a 3rd place tiebreak.

Rules
Disconnections
If you disconnect within the first 90 seconds of a match, and the objective hasn't been pushed halfway to knockout, you can call a replay.
You're only entitled to one replay per round, otherwise if a DC occurs again, then the match must continue with teams playing shorthanded.
DC replays will not be given if your team is losing by more than 33 in-game points, or if the allotted set time surpasses the 2/3 mark (20 minutes for best of 3s, 30 minutes for best of 5s, 40 minutes for best of 7s)
Replays are automatically given out if the entire lobby (or host) DCs.
Delays
Don't take more than 5 minutes to get a match started, otherwise your team (and/or the opposing team if both teams fail to have 4 people ready to play within that time frame in the lobby) will get charged a game. Your team (and/or the opposing team) will get disqualified if it gets charged 2 or more games, depending on the set.
Substitutions
If you need to substitute players, you can substitute no more than 4 players prior to the next match.
You can substitute depending on if you have enough players to substitute with on your roster, but more importantly, time in a round. Substitute sparingly.
If you run out of substitutions, and you're shorthanded, then it's not feasible for you to continue.[/spoiler]
Lag
Play through your matches as best as you can, otherwise if the lag gets too serious, have video evidence ready to show the TOs, so action can be taken such as telling the laggy player to sub out if necessary.
If a request for a host change has been made, you must comply with it; refusal will cost the lobby host and its team a game in the set.
It's recommended that you not bother entering/playing, if you have internet issues which results in lag, unless it gets solved.
If you're playing and streaming, and you get laggy, it's suggested that you stop streaming.
If there's a need for a host change, you must comply to that request.
Note: TOs are obligated to change the ruleset if necessary.
