Welcome, Smogon, to the fourth UU Classic! This is part of our official UU Tour Circuit where you can test your mettle against the top players in the community. The UnderUsed Classic is a chance to celebrate the history of the UnderUsed tier through the generations. Participants will compete in separate, single elimination UU tournaments for the USM, ORAS, BW, DPP, ADV, and GSC generations, culminating in playoffs and finals. Additionally, players who make playoffs will be awarded points that will count towards the UU Tour circuit of 2020.
This tournament format should be familiar to anyone who has participated in Smogon's Grand Slam or Classic tournaments. The format consists of six separate tournaments: the USM UU Cup, the ORAS UU Cup, the BW UU Cup, the DPP UU Cup, the ADV UU Cup, and the GSC UU Cup. Each participant will earn points for how far they advance in each Cup, following a similar point system used in Grand Slam and other tours (see here for more details), but 2 points will be given out for round 3 onwards instead of round 4. When all five cups have been completed, the top eight players with the most points will advance to the playoffs. There they will compete in a best-of-five series consisting of a combination involving every generation until we have an undisputed Smogon UnderUsed Classic Champion.
Signups for the first Cup go up on June 29, 2020, with dates staggered by a week:
USM UU Cup, hosted by Juno - June 29, 2020
