Tournament Rules:
Post "in" if you would like to participate. Depending on how much participation we have, we will aim for 32-64 slots, with subsequent signups being accepted as priority substitutes. If you'd like some additional information on the Pokemon that have been created, or just want to get a basic understanding before using them in battle, the CAP website and CAP Metagame forum are useful resources.
Welcome to the Create-A-Pokémon Tournament!
Tournament Rules:
- General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
- The format is standard ORAS CAP, as described here. In a nutshell, this is standard ORAS OU + all 20 Pokemon designed by the CAP Project.
- Best of three, single elimination.
- The banlist for this tournament is the same as the CAP ladder of the Smogon University server of Pokemon Showdown. If tiering changes to OU (and therefore, CAP) occur during the middle of a round, they will take effect in the subsequent round.
- Battles should take place on Pokemon Showdown!.
- Replays are cool and you should post them.
- Do not make baseless activity posts. Please get in contact with your opponent and report missed times or scheduling issues only.
Identity
I expect many battles to be completed under alts and I expect many battles to be completed on other servers to prevent scouting. These kind of factors are pretty bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.
Scouting
Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. It is the silliest thing I have ever heard, any battler worth their marbles has more than one team. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any forceful scouting. There is a difference between "gday is known for using stall" and "let me follow gday around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter.
With that said, I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. However, given the fact that this is the big stage, I am sure a lot of people want to watch, so don't be too mean.
Timer Clause
As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment.
Disconnections
If a player disconnects and either player contends that they could still win, the optimal solution is to recreate the exact situation the disconnection occurred at during the battle. If it is agreed between players that this is not feasible due to unreasonable battle length, highly improbable circumstances, or some other reason, the player who did not disconnect may choose to rematch with either the same teams or (the option to use) new teams. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment. Do not do it.
I know that was a lot to read, but it is all necessary for me to have posted here so everyone can see it in the case of a dispute. I don't want any confusion or any problems.
