The Global Melee Biweekly Tournaments are free tournaments open for entry. Because a majority of the Melee Netplay community is located in the North America, we are only running a NA bracket currently. When the community grows and we have enough players from other regions, we will expand to include the other regions. Splitting the netplay into regions reduces latency and headaches for those playing.
This is a singles tournament, following a double elimination format, and will use pools after it gets to a certain size. Pools details are within the tournament instructions
