It is time once more for arguably the most popular and prestigious tournament on Smogon: Smogon Tour. This will be the 24th season, and the second of the 7th generation!
The Smogon Tour is a series of Live Tournaments starting this time on the 1st of September. The format is the same as usual, consisting of the three most recent OU generations (SM OU, ORAS OU and BW2 OU, in this very order). The Live part of the tournaments will last 9 weeks where everyone will earn a certain amount of points according to their weekly performances. Once this phase is over, we'll move to Playoffs with the 16 best players of the tournament. The winner of the Smogon Tour will obtain the glorious Pink Trophy (
As usual, all the tournaments will take place on the smogtours server, unless stated otherwise. The times at which they will start are unchanged and are as follow:
- 6 pm EDT on Fridays.
- 4 pm EDT on Saturdays.
- 2 pm EDT on Sundays.
Remember that you can only join two tours per week. You cannot make a new account to circumvent the rule either. Also, you are not allowed to ask for wins, offer wins, or interfere in other people's battles (ghosting them or their opponent). If you do any of the aforementioned, be prepared to get infracted and potentially banned from our Tournaments. We will take retroactive actions if needed.
Take a look at this page for more information about how Smogon Tour works and how you can participate (stick to the Rules section, the Schedule and Standings one are not up to date).
Could we finally beat the record for the longest tour ever thanks to stall's ubiquity in SM OU? Are we going to witness more back-to-back finalists? How many tears will be cried on the very last week of the qualification period?
Good luck to all!
