When the brackets are created, it is your sole responsibility to find your opponent, their character code and add them in-game and begin your matches.

Question - If you have qualified for the Masters and you get in the top few in the next tourney do you guys just choose someone else? and if you have qualified for the masters are you still able to play in this again?

Until you get Masters League you can play in all GPD's, and the Masters Cup you've qualified for.

If you get into Masters League, you can't play in future GPD's, but can play in Masters Cup.

If someone from this weeks top 8 has already qualified, then only 7 get new qualifying spots. You can't qualify twice.

Yeah I know that you couldn't qualify for it twice just wondering how it worked if you got another or what have you.
