Smogon Tour

Introduction to the Smogon Tour

The Smogon Tour is one of the most exciting things about Smogon!

Two tournaments will be held every weekend over a nine-week season. As many as 64 skilled players will join and compete until one triumphant battler is left. For the sixth season of the Smogon Tour, three metagames within the D/P generation will test each battler's skill as he uses ubers, standard, and underused Pokémon. One week will be strictly devoted to one metagame; for example, one week will be UU-only, the next will be OU-only, and the following week will be Ubers-only.

The tours finish within about two hours. The rules are slightly different from regular tournaments, because they are meant to finish all at once. As soon as you sign-up, you battle until you lose. If you don't lose, you keep battling until you win the tour!

How do I sign up for the Smogon Tour?

Signing up for the Smogon Tour is very simple. All you need is an account on the Smogon forums and the ability to tell time! A sign up thread for each tournament will be opened in the Smogon Tour sub-forum at the times listed in the schedule. Simply post "in" and hang around until the sign-ups fill. Sign-ups will remain open until the tournament is full to the highest level of participation that the host feels is attainable. It usually takes between 5 and 15 minutes to fill completely. At that time, pairings will be posted and you must begin battling your opponent. Keep in mind that you must be on your forum nick; people under a different alias hold up the host and delay the Tour's progress.
