Qualifier

• 
  After teams are selected, the first weekend of tournament play will be the Qualifier Stage in order to cut down to a pre-decided number of teams to advance into the following stage, as well as to determine each team's "seed" (More about team "seeds" will be discussed later). There will be a total of 6 different qualifier maps, each meant to test a different skillset found in map pools throughout the tournament. Stages of the maps in qualifiers conform to the stages of their original song in touhou game.
  
  Each team should present 2 players to play each map (switching players who play between maps is allowed), and will play each of the 6 qualifier maps up to two times in the lobby. Highest team total score between the 2 rounds will be recorded. (For example, if a team scores 975000, 975000 on round 1 and then 985000, 970000 on round 2, the 2nd round will be the one recorded because the total team score was higher on the second round.)
  
  Teams will be ranked based on the “score rating” of their qualifier performances, meaning that each teams' performance on each of the 6 qualifier maps will be ranked compared to every other team and the ranks that each team achieves on these 6 maps will then be added up. The teams will then be sorted based on their "score rating" from lowest to highest, with lower score ratings being ranked better than higher score ratings.
  
  The results of the Qualifier Stage will also be used to determine the “seed” of each team. After Qualifier ends and every team has either gotten a seed or not qualified, the bracket will then begin. A standard Double Elimination bracket will be used where the top seeded team will face the bottom seeded team, second highest will face second lowest, so on and so forth. Each team must lose two different matches to be eliminated from the tournament, this means that every team will get the chance to at least play two separate pools.
