Greetings, Redditors! I'm here to announce the Official June 2026 Elimination PvP Tournament!

This tournament will use the **Scarlet Rebalance Mod**, which features a multitude of experimental balance changes aimed specifically at Elimination PvP. Test your building and your piloting skills against a wide variety of players with a huge diversity of archetypes! Build your best ships, bring your scariest designs, and pilot like a maniac.

This tournament will also use a brand new 2v2 format called Quadruple-Double Semi-Blind Picking (QDSP), which is designed to be a balance between menu time and reducing the inherent randomness of full blind picking. More details about the format are in the information document.

I understand not everyone will be interested in participating, but I figured I would forward this here since there hasn't been an official PvP tournament in a while. We as commentators aim to explain match dynamics in an understandable way as well for those unfamiliar with PvP, so don't be afraid to tune in even if you don't know much!
