'''The Biweekly Procrastination''', formerly known as the Ohio ARMS Online Biweekly, is an online biweekly {{game}} tournament series organized by [[Frosty]] and [[LOSER]]. The series began in August of 2017 and is still having new events today. Due to this, the Biweekly Procrastination is the longest continually running online ARMS tournament series. Upon its creation, former ARMS player Azilidaz supervised the events, but after becoming uninterested in the game, he gave full control to the duo who continue to run it to this day. The tournament series is also the primary result pool for the [[Ohio ARMS Power Ranking]]. | '''The Biweekly Procrastination''', formerly known as the Ohio ARMS Online Biweekly, is an online biweekly {{game}} tournament series organized by [[Frosty]] and [[LOSER]].

The Biweekly Procrastination typically runs double elimination brackets unless there are less than 8 entrants, in which a round robin tournament is held. On occasion an event holding 7 entrants may also be double elimination, depending on the rules at the time of the specific tournament. Players utilize Ohio ARMS' Discord server to communicate with their opponents as the brackets are ran on Challonge, a site that lacks player-to-player chat functions. In terms of the tournament's stage list, traditionally legal stages, including [[DNA Lab]] and [[Buster Beach]] among others, were chosen to be used. Today, the "Backroom" stage list is used alongside a modified version of the Backroom rule set. | The Biweekly Procrastination typically runs double elimination brackets unless there are less than 8 entrants, in which a round robin tournament is held.

Due to the fact that the events are ran from the Ohio ARMS Discord server as well as the event's title early on, many believed the tournament series to be locked to Ohio players only. This was never the case, in fact, the majority of the tournaments held were not region locked at all. Despite allowing European and Japanese players to enter, it was advised that all players be available at reasonable times in the EST timezone as to allow for ease on the Ohio players' part. In early 2020, the Biweekly Procrastination formally region locked to North America only as to comply with the North American Power Ranking rules. Despite this, Biweeklies occurring during the NA Power Ranking offseasons will be open to all around the world. | Due to the fact that the events are ran from the Ohio ARMS Discord server as well as the event's title early on, many believed the tournament series to be locked to Ohio players only.
