Tournament Rules and General Guidelines
Spreadsheet​


Welcome to the very first installment of DPP World Cup!

The format for the whole tournament will be as follows:
  • DPP OU Bo3
  • DPP OU Bo3
  • DPP OU Bo3
  • DPP OU Bo1
  • DPP OU Bo1
  • DPP OU Bo1
Tiebreaks, should they happen, will be 3v3 in DPP OU Bo1s.

The tournament will consist of 16 teams composed of a total of 8 to 10 players: 6 starters + 2 to 4 substitutes. Each team is required to have at least one captain, and is allowed to appoint a second one if they so desire. Captains are allowed to play.

In the first stage of the tournament, the 16 teams will be split into 4 pools of 4 teams each. During three weeks, each week you will face a different opposing team from your pool in the 6v6 format above. There will be standings for each pool where your rank depends on the results vs the other teams: a win awards you 3 points, a tie awards you 1 point, and a loss awards you no point. The first two teams of each pool at the end of these three weeks will then move on to non-seeded playoffs, which I'll explain in the paragraph below. In order to make every single series more impactful, wins/losses differential for each match will be used to break three-way ties configurations, in other words winning 5-1 instead of 4-2 can make the difference. If a tie persists through points and W/L differential, a 3v3 tiebreaker will occur between the tied teams to decide which one moves on. To be clear, we will only count series results, i.e winning 2-0 or 2-1 vs your opponent will not change a thing.

Pool 1: France, Canada, US Northeast, Italy

After three weeks, the standings are:
1. France 3-0 W/L: +4
2. US Northeast 1-2 W/L: -2
3. Italy 1-2 W/L: -4
4. Canada 1-2 W/L: -4

Result: France and US Northeast both move on to playoffs
Pool 2: US West, Germany, Asia, Spain

After three weeks, the standings are:
1. US West 3-0 W/L: +6
2. Spain 1-2 W/L: -2
3. Asia 1-2 W/L: -2
4. Germany 1-2 W/L: -6

Result: US West moves on to playoffs, while Spain and Asia play a 3v3 tiebreaker to decide which of the two moves on

Playoffs are not seeded. Therefore, team pairings will be drawn randomly for each of Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Finals. Again, these are all 6v6 format, with a 3v3 tiebreaker in case of a 3-3 score.

Rules
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for me to make decisions for activity calls when I can actually see what went down with scheduling.
  • On activity decisions: They will be handled in a similar way than PLs, i.e activity wins will only be handed as last resort. I will be reluctant to give activity wins to those who are clearly fishing for them, be transparent about your activity and most importantly, communicate with the opposing team and myself if there is any kind of trouble during the scheduling process. In any case, activity calls will not be made before the round is over.
  • On substitutions: Given the unusual format of this world cup, substitutions are also treated the same as in PLs. When making a substitution, please tag myself, the captains of the opposing team, and the player affected by the substitute to ensure that everyone is made aware. Players who have already played in the week or were subbed out in the same week cannot be subbed back in.
  • Matches are to be played on smogtours.
  • Replays are mandatory for all games.
