Welcome to the fifth iteration of Smogon's premier official RU tournament.​

Tournament rules:
  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here
  • Grand Slam rules can be found here.
  • Standard ORAS RU.
  • Best of three, single elimination.
  • Battles should take place on Pokemon Showdown!
  • Replays should be saved and posted alongside your won/lost post, but are not required.
  • Tiers are locked at the beginning of each round. If tier changes occur during the middle of a round, they will take effect in the subsequent round.
  • Note that the tour will be following the standard banlist from here on out. This means Tangrowth, Shaymin, and Slurpuff are Banned.
Identity

I expect many battles to be completed under alts and I expect many battles to be completed on other servers to prevent scouting. These kind of factors are pretty bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.

Scouting

Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. It is the silliest thing I have ever heard, any battler worth their marbles has more than one team. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any forceful scouting, whether it be spying on another teams irc channel or following your opponent around on PO. There is a difference between "ipl is known for using stall" and "let me follow ipl around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter.

With that said, I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. However, given the fact that this is the big stage, I am sure a lot of people want to watch, so don't be too mean.

Timer Clause

As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment.

Disconnections

If a player disconnects and either player contends that they could still win, the optimal solution is to recreate the exact situation the disconnection occurred at during the battle. If it is agreed between players that this is not feasible due to unreasonable battle length, highly improbable circumstances, or some other reason, the player who did not disconnect may choose to rematch with either the same teams or (the option to use) new teams. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment. Do not do it.

I know that was a lot to read, but it is all necessary for me to have posted here so everyone can see it in the case of a dispute. I don't want any confusion or any problems.

What a beautiful face, I have found in this place
i thought that my opponent would try to get act win last round lol. I'll try to play, he contacted me.
 
Requesting activity win against franiastar he missed scheduled time twice and it's impossible scheduled with him, I can't play at midnight or in the morning because I have lessons... I waited for him 2 hours yesterday and he didn't show up.

We agreed at 7pm his time (GMT-7 and via PM in the morning) which was 8pm for me (I'm GMT-6) I wasn't able to play at 11pm I was sleeping, same thing today he missed scheduled time. Really funny we just have 1 hour of difference and he is making this so difficult.
Everything is on my profile.

I really hate to do this, I didn't claim act yesterday because I wanted get this done but yeah I've been waiting during the night and this is just pretty awkward.

Edit- Not my fault this kid has missed the scheduled time TWICE and he wants me to play at random times(11pm) I have been online all afternoon on smogtours. He wanted play at 9am yesterday when I was taking my lunch and some hours later I was online for play another tour, he could just reply on the VM that he was on but he didn't.
When he got online I was playing for PU open so yeah no idea what is this guy trying to do. I've been pretty active on both Smogtours and PS.
Edit 2- I am still online...

we didnt agree to play today i said i cant play the time she said, yesterday i saw late that is true that is true, thats why i asked for extension. arii offered to play only the last day - sunday i simply didnt manage to get home at time. arii only can play in very awkward hours ill try my best to get to play her if she shows any good will. i really care for the ru run and if you allow me to play before the extension deadline instead of getting activitied like that i promise to do everything i can to get the game done
edit: found arii on showdown, she left imidiatelly after i pm'ed her, after that she respond to me on smogon 'this is the last time im anoyyed by this situation', appparently shes having lunch at 9:23 am her time. whatever it is i understand she doesnt want to play right now, but telling me she doesnt even want to bother to try shedule, even if she just mentioned she has time in the evening and night, from the begging arii was 'too busy to play' now she is doing everything she can to get the activity win. also fun fact arii did not play one game this open, idc if this is like a meme activity run or whatever but id trully apreciate if i got a chance to play her
edit2: i find arii in the ubers room again the moment i join the battle she was watching she instantly leaves (i have screenshot prove). im stunned how she is doing everything she can to avoid even talking to me, we got an extension meaning you have us a chanse to play our game now she's doing everything she can to prevent that from happening

Man, you've made me wait 5 hours today and you left smogtours. You came 3 hours later the first time we scheduled(you wanted me to play at 11pm), then we rescheduled and you missed scheduled time again of course I was upset I waited like a stupid Nothing to say about my games I played awfully (it's not my main tier anyway it was my first RU tournament). Despite that, I didn't try to ''claim the act win as a meme'' I let you play vs me. This whole situation was pretty awkward since you're new I suggest next time you don't need to leave 10 VMs or spam on you opponent's wall, 1 VM is fine. Idk why you call me ''rude'' I didn't say anything offensive and you're acting like you didn't nothing. Regardless, gl in the rest.
