| Power Rankings What are Power Rankings?Unlike major tiers like OU, Doubles does not have its own major tournament every year, akin to the Official Smogon Tournament or the Smogon Tour; instead, Doubles players have to make do with the Doubles Open, which is held only as part of the Smogon Grand Slam. To remedy this issue, four tournaments will be held each year. These tournaments, known as Seasonals, are held to give players incentive to hone their skills and battle well in order to come out on top. The Seasonals are held in the Tournaments forum right here on Smogon, so keep an eye out if you're interested in participating! Who knows? You might just become our next Doubles Champion! Power Rankings 2016Below are the top 16 ranked players for Doubles in 2016, as determined by their Seasonals rankings. Players are awarded points each seasonal equal to the round in which they were eliminated minus two. The last four Seasonals at any given time are used to calculate their total points and, of course, more total points means a higher overall ranking. Note that in the table below a "--" indicates that the player did not play in that Seasonal, or that that Seasonal has not yet concluded. "0" indicates that they did play in that Seasonal, but scored 0 points. The full rankings can be viewed here.
