Welcome to the first iteration of the Random battles multi-format tour! This tournament gives you a chance to show how well versed you are in the lesser played Random formats, namely, Gen 7 BSS Factory, Gen 7 Battle Factory, Hackmons Cup, Gen 8 Monotype random battle, and Lets Go Random Battles.
Prizes for winning will included a limited time custom join phrase in the Random Battles room, being inducted into the randbats hall of fame, and possibly more to be announced!
How does this tour work?
Matches will be best of three except for semis and finals which will be best of five. This is how the three formats for the best of three will be chosen (in a helpful step by step guide):
1. Contact your opponent and each of you lock one format. Example: Irpachuza locks gen7BF, and Rage locks gen7BSSF.
2. Each player then bans one tier. Example: Rage bans Hackmons Cup, and Irpachuza then bans Lets Go Random battle.
3. The remaining tier (Monotype Random Battle) will be played as the third format.
4. Battle each other. The format not chosen by either player is played first (i.e monotype in the above mentioned example), and the loser of g1 picks the second tier played.
Note: Whoever locks first bans second. So if A locks Battle Factory, and B locks Let's Go, the next step is for B to ban a tier, and then A will ban a tier. That way the same person doesn't lock/ban first both times.
How to sign up?
This is pretty easy! all you have to do is post "in", in this thread!
edit: forgot to add: cohosted with frostyicelad and Irpachuza, and signups deadline will be September 5th
