For more information on randomizer tournaments like this one, see the randomizer tournaments page.
The BOTE 2024 tournament ran from June 15th, 2024 to October 11th, 2024. The tournament format began with a group stage, where the 25 teams were sorted into 5 groups of 5, and each team played each of the other teams in their own group twice. The 8 top teams advanced to a double-elimination bracket based on a combination of wins and tiebreaker points scored.
Tiebreaker points are calculated by taking the sum of a team's opponent's scores in matches that the team won, and subtracting it from the sum of the tiebreaker points the team gained in matches that they lost. Per match, a team can gain or lose 31 tiebreaker points: 25 for the losing team's score on the bingo board, and 6 for the losing team's progress towards TE (3 white fragments and 3 dreamers).
Like the previous 2023 All Majors Tournament, this tournament allowed gimmicks! Gimmicks are settings that are added to the randomized pool beyond the default settings to help spice up each match. Both teams offered the other team a list of three potential gimmicks, and one would be picked from each list. Gimmicks were optional for the first round, but every round in the rest of the tournament were required to have a minimum of two gimmicks.
The list of gimmicks that were allowed for the 2024 Blackout TE tournament bracket stage are:
Gimmicks that randomize additional checks: Grimmkin Flames, Whispering Roots + Ghost essence, Lore Tablets + Mr Mushroom, Randomized Focus
Settings that alter logic with skips: These have been condensed into a single gimmick including Precise Movement, Background and Enemy Pogos, Infection Skips, and No Swim/No Tear!
Settings that alter how rando functions: Lemm/Junk Shops, replace the top left goal of the board with Complete Colosseum 3
Gimmicks voted upon by rando community: Replace the middle goal of the board with "obtain 46 grubs"; Map-Area randomizer; Access Randomizer (chains + unique keys + respect), Split Claw, Randomized Levers, More Doors (all doors, no keys), the Real Journal Rando (no notes, no bonus entries), Cursed Nail.
