Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Welcome to the DS Classic Open! This tournament is your chance to showcase your skills in Generations 4, 5, and 6 Random Battles in a single elimination best-of-3 series.
This tournament is part of our ongoing Rands Slam circuit. Stay tuned after this tour for news about the next one!
Prizes
The winner of the DS Classic Open will receive the Room Prize Winner rank in the Random Battles room for a month, be inducted into the Randbats Hall of Fame, and be awarded points for the Rands Slam. The winner of the Slam Playoffs Round will get a custom avatar and a Smogon banner for a full year, along with a month-long Room Prize Winner rank and joinphrase.
How does the tour work?
It’s simple: 1. Contact your opponent on their Smogon wall and decide on a time to battle.
2. If you cannot mutually decide which format to play first, use “/pick gen4, gen5, gen6” to decide.
3. Battle each other in the decided format. Loser picks the format in the next game, with NO REPEATS.
4. The first player to 2 wins advances to the next round.
Please note: 1. All scheduling attempts MUST be done publicly on Smogon Walls. No other proof of communication will count for act calls regarding scheduling attempts.
2. You MUST post replays of your wins.
We strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with the Smogon Tournament Rules and General Guidelines, if you haven’t already. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to contact the tour hosts here on Smogon.
What constitutes ghosting in a Random Battles game can be a particularly fine line. Before speaking in chat, always ask yourself: “Would my comment reveal information that hasn’t already been explicitly revealed in this battle?” Examples of ghosting include suggesting that an unexpectedly fast Pokemon must be holding a Choice Scarf, that a disguised Zoroark’s level proves it’s a Zoroark, etc.
