Street Fighter 6 · Season 4
Rules
4 weeks, from Sun, Sep 20 to Sun, Oct 11, then playoff night on Sun, Oct 18. Every bracket runs on start.gg and results post here automatically.
Match rules
Sets are best of 5, first to 3 games, in every round.
The loser of a game may switch character. The winner must stay on the character they just won with.
Points
What each placing pays, by how many people entered that bracket. Bigger brackets pay more, in steps of 2, so one extra entrant is never worth chasing. Every placing that exists pays at least 1.
– that placing cannot happen in a bracket that size. Column headings are the number of entrants.
Season score
Your best 3 of 4 weeks count. The lowest is dropped, so one bad night costs you nothing.
A week you do not enter scores 0, which means it is always the one dropped. Miss more than one and the zeros start counting.
No separate point for entering. You do not need one: every placing that exists pays at least 1, so turning up and placing last still scores.
Points scale with how many people actually played, counted from the final standings rather than the signup list, so a no-show does not inflate anyone's points.
Playoffs
Enter at least 2 weeks. Anyone below that is not seeded into either bracket, whatever their points.
The main bracket holds 8, but only the top 7 are seeded straight in. Seeds 8 to 15 play the B-League, and whoever wins it takes the last slot. So the B-League awards no season points, but it is a way in rather than a consolation.
Double elimination. Sets are best of 5, first to 3 games, in every round.
If a seeded player does not turn up, the next seed moves up and the B-League slides. The cutoff is when playoff signups close.
Ties
Players level on points are separated in this order. The first one that differs settles it.
- 1Weeks enteredMore weeks played wins.
- 2Best single placingYour best result of the season, counting every week including a dropped one.
- 3Head to headSets won against the other player this season, again counting every week.
- 4Most recent placingWhoever placed better in the latest week.
Still level for the last guaranteed spot after all four? That one is settled with a first to 3 on the night rather than on paper.
