How do I submit a tournament proposal?
  • Hosts must PM their proposal to King UU and Hogg and receive approval before posting. Use the template below to submit your idea.
  • The entire tournament, including sign-ups, all rounds, and results should be posted in the same thread (i.e. no posting each round in a separate thread).
  • Deadlines must be adhered to. Extensions may be granted as necessary, but rounds should be posted on schedule. Post unfinished pairings when extensions to games are given (ex: [player 1 vs player 2] vs player 3). The maximum length of a round is one week, but three or four days is good enough for smaller tournaments.
  • Hosts are expected to be active throughout the duration of their tournament in order to update pairings and make substitutions when necessary.
PM subject: UU Forum Tournament Proposal

PM body:
  • Briefly describe the metagame that will be played: (BWUU with the following Pokemon also allowed: Infernape Donphan etc etc)
  • Tour format: (single elimination, double elimination, brackets of 4, teams of 3, etc)
  • Pokemon Showdown/Smogtours format used: Gen 5 OU
  • Have you read the UU forum tournament hosting rules: (yes)

The schedule for tournaments will be updated as new tournaments are approved. In order to proceed with a regular tournament schedule, the current queue has been wiped, meaning anybody who has submitted a tournament proposal recently and hasn't received a response will need to re-submit their proposal using the above template. Note that due to scheduling constraints, there may be some delay in when your tournament will go live; please do not submit a tournament proposal if you will be unavailable to host after a short delay.

If you have any questions or feedback on these changes, please direct them via PM to King UU and Hogg.
 
UU Project Request Rules:
  • Any user that wants to create or take over a project must PM their proposal to King UU and Hogg and receive approval before posting. Use the template below to submit your idea.
  • The project, including Hall of Fame, Archives, and subsequent rounds should be posted in the same thread (i.e. no posting each round in a separate thread), unless specifically instructed otherwise.
  • Projects need to be regularly maintained and reviewed. Rounds should be posted on schedule. Extensions for project rounds can be granted on an as-needed basis, with moderator approval.
  • Project Hosts are expected to be active throughout the duration of their project in order to update the project and keep it active. Projects will be reassigned if it is found that you are not updating your project regularly.
PM subject: UU Forum Project Proposal

PM body:
  • Pick one of the following options that best fits the Project Request:
    • (1) Teambuilding (example: Compendiums)
    • (2) Cores (example: Underrated Sets)
    • (3) Challenge-Based (example: Iron Chef)
    • (4) Competitive Based (example: Battle of the Week)
  • Project Format - How will this Project work?
    • Breakdown of the project and the way it will be run.
    • Please include a sample OP if you have developed it.
  • Have you ever participated in hosting a UU SubForum Project?
  • Please provide several posts indicating that you are invested in the metagame and have some basic knowledge as to how it works (NP thread, VR thread, etc.).
In order to address the huge amount of requests, the current Project Request queue has been wiped, meaning anybody who has submitted a project proposal recently and hasn't received a response will need to re-submit their proposal using the above template. Note that due to Project redundancy and other miscellaneous issues, there may be some delay in when your project will go live; please do not submit a project proposal if you will be unavailable to lead the project after a short delay.

If you have any questions or feedback on these changes, please direct them via PM to King UU and Hogg.
 
The UU Generational Showdown will be making an appearance as part of our unofficial tour series on Sunday, November 27th 2016. Signups will be posted this Sunday November 20th 2016.

sniperr will be hosting this tour, contact him should you have any additional questions between now and signups. See below for a short blurb on the tour:

This tournament is designed to test your knowledge in the previous Underused generations and, for those those who don't know much about previous generations, help further their knowledge by doing some building and studying.

This tournament will be a standard single elimination tournament. Each round will last one week. It also will be a best of one so you will have plenty of time to create something within a weeks time. The generations will also follow in the order from current to last generation. For example: Oras UU, BW UU, DPP UU, and ADV UU. If there are alot of entries, we will reset after ADV UU and start back at ORAS UU. I hope you all enjoy!
