The Underdog Team Sumo Tournament will be played on Saturday June 27th, 2026.
  • Sign ups are OPEN through Saturday June 27th, 2026 or until rosters fill.
  • Recommended for players with TST ratings of 1900 and below.
  • Register a team below, or sign up as a free agent on the RCL event hub.

About

  • Underdog TST is a Retrocycles League community Team Sumo Tournament in classic 2v2v2v2 format.
  • This event spotlights developing players — both teammates should be at or below 1900 TST rating when they sign up (RCL beginner pickup tier).
  • Each team consists of 2 players.
  • The first team to reach 2000 points in each zone is awarded 6 placement points. Second place receives 4 points, 3rd receives 2 points, and 4th receives 1 point.
  • Placement points are tallied across round robin stages; the top 4 teams advance to a final zone.
    • Tie-break is determined by head-to-head round robin results. If that is not sufficient, the team with the highest finish across any zone (or most first place finishes) wins the tie-break.
  • Once you have played for a team, you may not play for another team in the same tournament.
  • Team captains may find a substitute if their teammate does not show.
    • If the team captain does not show, their partner may only play and find a substitute if they provided a valid authentication at registration.
  • Rounds begin on time; teams have no longer than 5 minutes past the scheduled time to arrive and get ready. After 5 minutes, teams are locked and the match begins.
    • If the team captain is on time but not their partner, the captain may start alone and have the partner or a substitute join mid-game. (Use /lock and /invite!)
    • If the partner registered with authentication and the captain is absent, the partner may start alone or invite a substitute after 5 minutes.
    • If delay is due to a previous round running long, the 5 minute window starts once all relevant previous rounds have finished.
  • Discussion: Retrocycles Discord — #tournaments
