Signups | Round 1 | Round 2

Introduction

The forgotten classic finally gets the spotlight.

Stadium OU World Championship will determine our first champion Stadium player. Like previous Gen 1 World Championship tournaments, Rounds will be best of 3 until 16, 20, or 25 are left. Then they'll be two double round-robin group stages, usually going down to 8 and then 4. The semi-finals and finals will be best of 5.

Past Gen 1 New Horizons Tournaments:

• RBY OU World Championship
• RBY Ubers World Championship
• Hypno Cup III (RBY OU Tradebacks)
• RBY OU World Championship 2016
• RBY Mewbers World Championship

Final Gen 1 New Horizons Tournament:

• RBY Ubers World Championship 2016 (July 2016). Gen 1 tournaments are marked in red here.

Stadium OU Format:

• Banned Moves: Double Team, Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, Minimize (Evasion + OHKO moves).
• Banned Pokémon: Mew, Mewtwo.
• Clauses: Freeze Clause, Sleep Clause, Species Clause, Team Preview.

Main Differences to RBY:

• Substitute blocks all status.
• Hyper Beam always recharges, even after KOing the target.
• Sleep lasts between 1-3 turns.
• Critical hits happen less for fast Pokémon, more for slow Pokémon (relative to RBY).
• Focus Energy works.
• Team Preview is on (some clauses might be able to be removed, but we'll stick to RBY rules for now)
• Partial trapping moves (wrap etc.) stop when the target switches out.
• HP values are displayed
• No recoil damage if the target is KOed.
• The weird RBY bugs like 255, dig/fly glitch are fixed.

Tournament Format (20 man):

• Round 1 - 4 x 4 double round-robin groups (20 unseeded players)
• Round 2 - 2 x 4 double round-robin groups (2 x 1st and 2 x 2nd Round 1 seeds in each group)
• Round 3 - 2 best of 5 matches (2 x 1st vs 2nd Round 4 seeds from alternate groups)
• Finals - 1 best of 5 match (2)

Tie rules:

• Battle ties will not be counted in any best of match, but they will now count in round-robin matches as 1/2 a point each.
• Ties between 1st and/or 2nd positions in a group will result in a single battle or single round-robin of battles repeated, until positions within the group are established.

[Peasounay]

Won 3-1 against Lutra with crazy ass bulls, ggs

 

[Lutra]

ggs, won first one and the three games I lost were ultimately decided by tauros hax unfortunately, so there's little crucial moments I have to regret in a close series. An easy loss to take when I know not much can be done :)
