Fresh Seconds Tournament
The Fresh Seconds Tournament was a MCM-sanctioned tournament that took place between February 8–10, 2017. The tournament served two purposes. Firstly, as entry was restricted to those who had not participated in any previous MCM-sanctioned tournament (including the February Best Of), it gave new entries to the MCM Royale a chance to spar competitively (hence "Fresh"). Secondly, it successfully tested the effectiveness of the "Second Chance" knockout format to be used in the final stage of the Royale. The bracket was completely randomly seeded from a pool of 16 invited and randomly-approved participants. Chicane came out the winner, though JoeViiZaa put up a commendable fight.
Invitation[edit | edit source]
Invitations were sent out on the 1st of February 2017, the day the February Best Of (FOB) started. Anyone who accepted the invitation for the MCM Royale and did not participate in any previous MCM-sanctioned tournament (including FOB) was invited. More invitation responses were expected and received than the 16 places available, therefore the participants were picked randomly.

Tournament[edit | edit source]
For full details of the tournament's format, see MCM Royale#Knockout Stage. Basically, the Knockout sends two people straight to the Semi-Finals, but everyone who lost a duel to them on their way gets a second chance by being placed in the Second Chance and finals table.
Seeding took place the same day of the invitations, on February 1.
