It's time for the Summer Seasonal :D
The bracket will be SEEDED according to your current placing on the Doubles Power Rankings (which is always from the last four seasonals, so in this case, 2015's Summer/Fall/Winter seasonals and this year's Spring seasonal).
SPECIFIC RULES
- This is a standard ORAS Doubles OU tournament
- This tournament will be Double Elimination
- First rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
- Winner's Finals, Loser's Finals, and Grand Finals will be Best of Five.
- Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!
- To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, all matches must have replays recorded. If neither player posts replays of the match, both players will suffer an automatic game loss. (If you were in losers' when you played, you are both out. If you were in winners', the winner is in losers' and the loser is out.)
- Because of the nature of the prizes of this tournament, if you are found signing up under more than one alt, you will be banned from circuit events for life.
- Activity calls will be made by me with probably the neutral assistance from a TD, flips will be made on PS!
- In the event that something is added to or removed from the Doubles OU metagame in the middle of a round, that change will be in effect starting the next round. Doubles Ubers is available as a challenge option if something is banned mid-round.
- Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on his team.
- Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned. (No other evasion boosting things are banned).
- OHKO Clause: The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, and Fissure are banned.
- Endless Battle Clause: Anything capable of intentionally creating an endless battle is banned.
- HypnoGravity Clause: The move Gravity is banned with all moves that can induce Sleep. I am not 100% sure if this is fully implemented on Pokemon Showdown!, so if it is not and you are found to be using it you will be disqualified and banned from future Circuit events.
- Uber Clause: Anything that appears on Doubles OU' banlist is banned. This is the banlist for Doubles OU:
What are we playing for?
Most importantly, for recognition. The results of this tournament will be recorded in the Doubles Power Rankings for posterity. Over the course of the year there are probably going to be many events where placing high on this ranking gets you some sort of carrot, in addition to the prestige of being one of the best Doubles players.
But also for cold, hard cash... The winner of the seasonal will get a $20 prize, second place $10, and third place $5. It's not a DotA prize pool but you'll always be able to say you won money playing Pokemon!
THE CASH PRIZES WILL ACTUALLY BE GIVEN THIS TIME I PROMISE
