General Tournament Rules

ORASLT Rules
  1. This is a standard ORAS OU tournament
  2. This will be a Ladder Tournament into single elimination, best of three, top 16 playoffs
  3. Your alt name must begin with LT2.
    • This tournament will be hosted on the regular Pokemon Showdown! ORAS OU ladder. All qualification will be done on this ladder. The Top 16 players will advanced to a single elimination, best of three playoffs.
    • You need to make a new alt account for this tournament. Your alt name must begin with LT2. For example, I may register the alt "LT2 Ruffles" for laddering. To give us a way to identify each account, please include in your sign-up post your alt name(s) in plain text, as well as a picture of your laddering alt(s).
    • You are not required to make a new alt for each ladder cycle.
    • In order to sign up for the ORAS Ladder Tournament II, please create a post in this thread listing your alts. You are allowed an unlimited number of alts, so don't worry about starting over with a new one; just remember to follow the name format for each alt you create, and please update your post each time you create a new alt. Include in your post a picture of your "clean" alt before playing any games on it. If an alt in the Top 4 at the end of a cycle is not registered in this thread at the time the cycle ends, it will be ignored.
    • You must create and register a new alt in this thread before you play any battles on it.

      Remember that it's LT2 suffix this year, not ORASZ
    • The ladder portion of the tournament spans 4 cycles lasting roughly 7 days each. The cutoff times for each cycle are listed below; at the cutoff time, one of the Hosts will take a screenshot of the ladder as the Bot stops tracking it for the cycle. In order to qualify for the playoffs, your alt must be among the top 4 newly made alts in the screenshot. If a player in the top 4 of a given cycle is already qualified, their alt will be ignored when counting the top 4 alts for that cycle. Cycles will have adjusted end times to give players from different regions and timezones a better chance at being on at the end of the cycle.
      • In order to break potential ties, the unrounded ELO of each player who qualifies in a given cycle will be recorded in order to break any potential ties. Your unrounded ELO can be found by using the following URL: https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/~~showdown/action.php?act=ladderget&user=[your username here]
      • For the playoffs stage, players will be seeded by their ELO at their respective screenshot time
    • All ladder games involving a player with a LT2 prefix are forced to be public. If you have the "Don't allow spectators" box checked when you start a ORASZ game, your game will be public and you will be met with this message: "This battle is required to be public due to a player having a name starting with "LT2."
    • It is going to be a Top 16 Single Elimination Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
    • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!. Smogtours is mandatory for the entirety of playoffs.
    • Replays are required for all matches.
    • Activity calls will be made by the Hosts not playing in Playoffs or Tournament Director. Coin flips will be done publicly on PS.
    • Do not cheat. Cheating will result in a disqualification. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary. Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
      • Asking your opponent to forfeit on the ladder
      • Ghosting or being ghosted by another player (e.g. while playing a set, asking for advice about what plays to make)
      • Manipulating match outcomes (e.g. throwing a match in exchange for Prize Share)f
    • Do not harass or insult your opponents. The Hosts reserve the right to disqualify anyone breaking this rule. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary
