'''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]].

Prior to its sixth installment, the Biweekly occurred on a single day of the week as nearly all other events do, but from the sixth event onwards a new format was used. This new format, dubbed the "all-week" format, allowed participants to play their sets reasonably throughout the week in which the tournament took place. The all-week format was primarily created to allow breathing room for players who have work or school and wouldn't be able to play numerous sets all in one specific day of the week. | Prior to its sixth installment, the Biweekly occurred on a single day of the week as nearly all other events do, but from the sixth event onwards a new format was used.

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.

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 time zone 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 off-seasons will be open to all around the world. | ||
From January 1st to April 1st, 2022, [[Dr. Coyle]] was banned from competitive use in any event eligible for the ARMS NA Power Ranking which included The Biweekly Procrastination. This was the first and only instance of a character being banned from the series outside of characters who were released as an event was taking place. Starting with The Biweekly Procrastination 100, stage striking rules in the series received an important new change: the lower-seeded player bans first as opposed to the higher-seeded player. | |||

**The Biweekly Procrastination 100 was initially teased on August 11th, 2022 with a teaser trailer utilizing music from The Dark Knight and imagery from SpongeBob SquarePants.<ref>https://twitter.com/OhioARMS/status/1557916846371782656</ref> Then, on August 12th, a trailer for the event directly parodying the episode of SpongeBob SquarePants titled "Krusty Krab Training Video" was released.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWFUnfb6kn4</ref> This video features an abundance of references to the aforementioned cartoon alongside many nods to the series’ format and history among other details. | |||
**The 100th event also had a unique logo created by Frosty and LOSER based directly on the title card of the SpongeBob episode "Mid-Life Crustacean". The tournament’s start time of 8:01 PM is also a reference to that episode. | |||
***Specifically the word 'The' in said logo has extensive filigree around it as a nod to a famous scene in the episode the event series gets its name from: "Procrastination".<ref>https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Procrastination/gallery?so=search&file=Procrastination_106.png</ref> | |||
