Welcome to the Gen 7 Random Battles Open! Pull out your most trusted Megas and show off your favorite Z-Moves while battling it out to the top in a Single Elimination best-of-3 series (best-of-5 in Quarterfinals onward). This is the eighth tournament in the inaugural (but also established) Random Battle Circuit V, following the Gen 2 Random Battles Tour!
The winner of the Gen 7 Random Battles Open will receive the Room Prize Winner rank and a joinphrase in the Random Battles room for a month, be inducted into the Randbats Hall of Fame, and be awarded points for the Random Battle Circuit V. The winner of the Playoff Round for the circuit will get a Smogon banner for a full year and their choice of either a custom avatar, a color change, or a disabled name on PS, along with a year-long Room Prize Winner rank and joinphrase.
How does this tour work?
It's simple:
1. Contact your opponent on their Smogon Wall and decide on a time to battle.
2. Battle each other in the format "[Gen 7] Random Battle".
3. The first player to 2 wins (3 for Quarterfinals onward) advances to the next round.
Please note:
1. All scheduling attempts MUST be done publicly on Smogon Walls. No other proof of communication will count for act calls regarding scheduling attempts.
2. If you participated in any of the prior tours in the Circuit, and have since changed your Smogon name, LET US KNOW in your signup post.
3. You, and I cannot stress this enough, MUST post replays of your wins. Any battles without replays will need to be replayed.
We strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with the Smogon Tournament Rules and General Guidelines, if you haven’t already. If you have further questions about this tournament or the Random Battle Circuit overall, please don’t hesitate to contact the hosts (betathunder Flights of Fantsy PrinceOfAllTacos) on Smogon. No question is a dumb question! We’re here to help.
