Road to the Striker Cup (Event), or RTTSC, was based off the offline gamemode for which it was named. Created by Shadowinvadr, there are currently three cups (Fire Cup , Crystal Cup , and Striker Cup) that players can compete in. RTTSC has generally been a success, as two cups have been completed and the third is midway through.

How it Works
''This is how it generally works. To get more into detail, please see the rules section.''

There are three stages in each cup: drafting, preliminaries, and finally elimination. Drafts take place before the cup, allowing players to sign up for the cup. After the draft window is closed, players must compete against each other in a round robin format. The top 4 players in the prelims advance to the elimination stage. Whoever wins the elimination bracket is crowned the champion.

General
A match consists of a best to three series, where each player plays one series away and another series home. Whichever player has the away side is allowed to choose the stadium to compete in (either The Classroom or Bowser Stadium ). All cheat codes are set off before the match, and each game should be first to 7.

Draft
The draft takes place before the preliminaries. Players must sign up through the forums in order to compete. Once the draft is closed, players are not allowed to be added in the cup, although replacements may occur.

Preliminaries
Preliminaries are started right after the draft window closes. Players are allowed to play their matches instantly after the draft is closed. Players must play each person in the cup to calculate their point total.

During the preliminaries, players must keep track of their point total to find out whether they can make the elimination bracket or not. Points are calculated by the number of series the player wins in one match (To put simply, the number of series you win in a cup is the amount of points you will have). If a player has a top 4 point total at the end of the preliminaries, he/she makes the elimination bracket. Points are reset after each cup.

If two people tie in points for a top 4 spot, the head to head tiebreaker rule is applied.

If three or more people tie in points for a top 4 spot, then the player who advances is chosen at random.

Elimination
The elimination bracket is made after the prelims are over and the top 4 players are decided. Seeds are randomized, and then the bracket is made. The loser of each match is eliminated, and the winner of the bracket is crowned the champion, or holder, of that cup.
