REMINDER: Yellow belts can enter the amateur bracket, but can not get farther than yellow belt. AND, if they lose to a white that does not end up winning the whole thing, THEY WILL BE DERANKED. This is to deter yellows form staying in amateur forever, and make them enter the real waters at some point. However, since only the winner of the amateur gets yellow, a yellow can enter and win, preventing others from gaining yellow belt. 

We will still be doing Evo style rules, as stated below:
