Sinnoh Cup - Round 1
Format:
- 2 Leagues
- 6 Divisions
- 3 Divisions per league
- 42 total players (increased from 24)
- 7 players per division
- 21 players per league
- 2 wins = 3 points
- 1 win with activity (Match was played / opponent was a "No Show") = 1 point
- 0 wins = -1 point
Pools will change each round and there will be 5 rounds total. Everyone will not get to play everyone else, but no one will play each other twice (until possibly Wild Card Week / Playoffs). At the end of the regular season period, points will be added up and the player with the most points in each division will be the Division Leader. These players will move into the playoff round. The players with the second most amount of points in their division will become Wild Cards that are eligible for the Wild Card Round. If there is a tie for either Division Leader or Wild Card, rankings will be broken down by first by head-to-head, then by win/loss records (first by number of wins, then by losses).Possible Records In One Round said:
During the Wild Card Round, Wild Cards will be separated into pools of 3 against the players of their own league. Instead of competing for skill points, players will play Best of 3 Matches against the other two players in their pool. The player with the best record will move on to next week's playoff round. Rankings will be broken down by wins, then by losses during Wild Card Week. Ties for this round will be broken down first by total season points gained, then by head-to-head (from regular season results), then by win/loss records (also from regular season results; excluding Wild Card week results).
For all consecutive Playoff Weeks:
- Match-ups will consist of best 2 out of 3 matches
- League Semifinals will once again separate players by league and match them up randomly with one of the other three players
- Finals will match up the remaining four players, once again in their respective leagues. The winners of these matches will be dubbed their league's "League Leader".
- The Sinnoh Cup Championship will match-up the League Leaders. The winner of this match will be the Sinnoh Cup Champion.
Deadlines & Activity:
I am enforcing strict deadline rules for this tournament. Each round will only be a week long (with possible leeway as school will be starting for some people in the duration of this tournament). If you have issues scheduling a match and believe you'll need an extension, you must notify me via the thread for the current round, VM, or PM at no later than 48 HOURS before the current week's deadline. If you are playing your match within a few hours after the deadline will have passed, I won't penalize you, but notify me first and make sure it gets done within that time frame. Other than that, any potential exceptions for extensions will be handled at my discretion.
I STRONGLY recommend that you post or message me whenever you attempt to contact your opponent. I will not know if you've been sending messages to your opponents if you do not tell me and when I have to make a decision at the end of the week I can only make assumptions as to your general activity in this tournament.

The Platinum League:
Wait, What!?
The Platinum League is a special side event / mini-tournament I've decided to include. Starting Round 2, 16 lucky substitutes will paired off in a 1v1 single elimination bracket with new pairings each round (same deadlines as the main event). They will follow the aforementioned battling rules in a Best of 3 format. Any remaining players will once again become subs for this side event, eligible for substitution only during Round 2 (Remember that both the main event and Platinum League share the same numbers for the current round).
When the final 2 contestants remain, they will be allowed to challenge any eligible Wild Card player for their spot in the tournament, also following the aforementioned battling rules in 1v1 Best of 3 format. Challenges must be completed before the challenged Wild Card plays any of his Wild Card matches and he MUST answer the challenge. I'll include a reminder and details as needed when the Wild Card Round begins.
Records for current rounds will be actively updated, however points will not be totaled until the round is completed and the next round starts.
Now that I'm done stuffing your face with text, we can move on to the meat and cheese of this tournament. As usual, if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to bring them up. Let's make this a successful and enjoyable tournament!
