The BLAST Triannual Tournaments

(Preliminary Rounds of the World Qualifiers - WQ)

 

The BLAST tournaments (also known a Tri-Annuals) are held at the end of each session and are considered the preliminary rounds of the SDAPA City Championship World Qualifiers (WQ). Each session's BLAST tournament qualifies teams to participate in the final rounds City Championship/WQ.

In order to participate in a session-ending BLAST tournament, a team must win the division standings, win the session-ending Playoffs or be the highest-seeded runner-up to the Playoff winner that is already qualified for the City Championship World Qualifiers. If a team wins the division standings or Playoffs after already qualifying for the City Championship World Qualifiers, the team will be exempt from participating in the BLAST tournament at the end of that session. Members must have a minimum of 4 matches with the team during the session and must have been on the roster at the end of the session in order to be eligible to play in that session's BLAST tournament.   In addition, by the end of the session, participants must have a minimum of 6 matches played in the appropriate format since joining the APA. The BLAST is a single elimination event. The League Operators will record a random draw to determine match-ups.
