Rules:
  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
  • If metagame changes occur during the middle of a round, they will take effect in the subsequent round.
  • Battles must take place on either Smogtours or Pokemon Showdown!
  • Replays are required. Any win post without replays will not be counted

  • On Substitution:
    • If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP so they can communicate that to us or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.
    • When making a substitution, please inform the host team, the managers of the opposing team, and all of the players affected by the substitution to ensure that everyone is made aware.
    • Keep in mind that once a player is subbed out, they cannot be subbed back into the same round, but can be put back onto the roster for the next round.
    • Substitutions will not be allowed in tiebreak series unless both teams agree (or TDs enforce double sub). We will be reluctant to give activity wins to those who are clearly fishing for them.
Regular Tiebreakers:
Teams each select 1 tier to play.
They are then informed of their opponents' selection, and must reorder the remaining 6 tiers in order of preference.
We will strike out the least preferred tiers from both teams' lists until there are either 1 or 2 tiers remaining. In the former case it will be played as the 3rd tier for the tb, in the latter case we will random.org the 3rd tier between the two options.

Advantaged Tiebreaker:
We wish to reward better Round 1 records throughout the entirety of playoffs; whenever a team is tiebreaking against a team with a worse R1 record (this can only happen in playoffs), the Advantaged Tiebreaker format will be used instead.
The advantaged team selects the first tier.
Then, the disadvantaged team selects the second tier, and bans a tier from the 3rd option.
Then, the advantaged team picks between the remaining options.
