Welcome to the 2026 RU Winter Seasonal! This Type A tournament is the opening tournament of the 2026 RU circuit, therefore a great opportunity to start gaining a consistent amount of points in the race to the 2026 RU Ribbon. This tour is hosted by seed.
Specific Rules:
A bunch of rulings I expect you all to read:
- This is a standard SV RU tournament.
- Matches are to be played on PS!, preferably on the Smogtours server.
- The format for this tournament is best of three, double elimination.
- Any tier changes that occur during a round will not be in effect until the following round.
- Replays are not required until Round 2, but they are encouraged and useful to have, so be sure to properly save them for proof of your victory.
- Changing teams between games is allowed.
Activity Win Rules:
Activity Decisions / Coin Flips: In the event that there is an uncompleted match at the deadline, it will be coin flipped unless one or both of the players involved in the match specifically request an activity win and explain sufficiently why they deserve to win over their opponent, or if hosts determine an activity win was earned based on public contact. Attempting to schedule a battle is required in order to receive the win by activity. To make it clear that you are requesting an activity win when you post, it is recommended that you open your post with "Activity Win Request" in bold and provide a link to the evidence of an activity win.
Identity
Users are expected to play on identifiable accounts. They may choose not to, but if asked must comply with identification requests by an opponent, either via switching to an account you are identifiable on, or via a Smogon message. Do not assume an account that you use regularly in other tours or with your friends is "identifiable." Use an account that matches your Smogon username or is in your About page to avoid this problem.
Scouting: Going through publicly posted teams or available replays from other tournaments / rounds / the PS! replays site is understandable and an acceptable play in tournament prep. Using power given on Smogon or PS! to find things unavailable to the regular user, such as deleted posts, PS alt account connections, or hidden rooms, is unacceptable and can result in loss of access.
Do not badger an opponent's friends, teammates, or previous opponents for information, respect their wishes for privacy if asked. Divulging private information about someone's planned team to their opponent is never allowed, and will be heavily sanctioned. Requesting that such information be divulged is also grounds for punishment. Keep your scouting to publicly available information and you'll be fine.
Timer and Disconnections: The timer is expected to be on from the start of every game until its conclusion, unless indicated otherwise in a tournament's rules (such as a ghosting tour). Please be respectful of each other's time while in-game, battle timeouts are there for a reason.
If you run out of time, you lose. If you disconnect and run out of time to reconnect, you lose. For particularly high stakes games, under certain conditions, a Tournament Director may be able to recreate a game played on Smogtours, but do not rely on or expect this. It is the responsibility of the player that disconnected to get a TD into the room before it expires (15 minutes), as one a room expires there is no chance of recreation. A game played on Main can never be recreated.
Communication:
Schedule your games via public wall/visitor messages (VMs) to make it possible for hosts to track activity claims when needed. Use this guide (https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/tournament-rules-and-general-guidelines.3642760/) to ensure that you don't lose via activity or go to a coinflip. If you use other means of contacting your opponent, such as private messages on Smogon, Discord or PS! messages of any sort, or another platform altogether, then provide all scheduling conversations should you need to make an activity claim.
Remember that late contact is not grounds for an activity claim. If extensions are even possible, they will only be provided in circumstances where contact was early enough and you and your opponent were unable to find a time during the standard schedule to play and have already found a time during the standard extension window to play. The further you stray from that ideal, the less likely an extension request is to be granted.
Server:
The default server to play tournament matches on is Smogtours. An acceptable alternative, should both players agree to go to it, is the main Pokemon Showdown server. No other server is allowed, even if both users agree to it. If one user requests to play on Main and the other user requests to play on Smogtours, the game must be played on Smogtours.
Bugs:
Any battle mechanics not properly implemented in the simulator used for a tournament battle are fair game, unless explicitly banned by that tournament's rules. Illegal movesets that are not restricted by the simulator fall into this category as well. However, this does not include faulty tier scripts; for example, if there was a bug in the BW OU tier script that allowed you to use Drizzle and Swift Swim on the same team, taking advantage of this would result in disqualification in that battle. If a game breaking glitch is discovered, we will make a blanket tournament ban on that glitch via an announcement in the Tournaments forum until it is fixed.
Cheating, Throwing, and Poor Sportsmanship:
Respect yourself and your fellow players. The Tournament Rules (https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/tournament-rules-and-general-guidelines.3642760/) go into more detail on each of these topics, but the short answer is that players who do any of the above acts risk removal from the tournament, infractions, or worse.
Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on their team.
Sleep Clause: You cannot inflict sleep upon more than one member of the opposing team.
Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned.
OHKO Clause: The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, and Fissure are banned.
Endless Battle Clause: Anything capable of intentionally creating an endless battle is banned, draws will be enforced after 1000 turns

Se o tempo acabar, você perde. Se você se desconectar e não houver tempo suficiente para reconectar, você perde. Em jogos com apostas particularmente altas, sob certas condições, um Diretor de Torneio pode conseguir recriar uma partida jogada no Smogtours, mas não conte com isso nem espere que aconteça. É responsabilidade do jogador que se desconectou conseguir um convite para entrar na sala antes que ela expire (15 minutos), pois, após o término da sala, não há como recriá-la. Uma partida jogada no servidor principal nunca poderá ser recriada.
Comunicação:
Agende seus jogos por meio de mensagens privadas no mural/mensagens de visitantes (VMs) para que os anfitriões possam rastrear as alegações de atividade quando necessário. Use este guia ( https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/tournament-rules-and-general-guidelines.3642760/ ) para garantir que você não perca por falta de atividade ou que a partida vá para o cara ou coroa. Se você usar outros meios de contato com seu oponente, como mensagens privadas no Smogon, Discord ou mensagens do PS! de qualquer tipo, ou outra plataforma, forneça todas as conversas de agendamento caso precise fazer uma alegação de atividade.
Lembre-se de que o contato tardio não justifica uma reclamação de atividade. Se prorrogações forem possíveis, elas só serão concedidas em circunstâncias em que o contato foi feito com antecedência suficiente e você e seu oponente não conseguiram encontrar um horário para jogar dentro do cronograma padrão, mas já encontraram um horário disponível durante o período de prorrogação padrão. Quanto mais você se afastar desse ideal, menores serão as chances de um pedido de prorrogação ser concedido.
Servidor:
O servidor padrão para jogar partidas de torneio é o Smogtours. Uma alternativa aceitável, caso ambos os jogadores concordem, é o servidor principal do Pokémon Showdown. Nenhum outro servidor é permitido, mesmo que ambos os usuários concordem. Se um usuário solicitar jogar no servidor principal e o outro solicitar jogar no Smogtours, a partida deverá ser jogada no Smogtours.
Insetos:
Qualquer mecânica de batalha que não esteja implementada corretamente no simulador usado para uma batalha de torneio é válida, a menos que seja explicitamente proibida pelas regras do torneio. Conjuntos de movimentos ilegais que não são restringidos pelo simulador também se enquadram nessa categoria. No entanto, isso não inclui scripts de tier com falhas; por exemplo, se houvesse um bug no script do tier BW OU que permitisse usar Drizzle e Swift Swim na mesma equipe, tirar proveito disso resultaria em desclassificação naquela batalha. Se um bug que impeça o jogo de funcionar for descoberto, baniremos todos os jogadores que o utilizarem do torneio por meio de um anúncio no fórum de Torneios até que seja corrigido.
Trapaça, arremesso indevido e conduta antidesportiva:
Respeite a si mesmo e aos seus colegas jogadores. As Regras do Torneio ( https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/tournament-rules-and-general-guidelines.3642760/ ) detalham cada um desses tópicos, mas, resumidamente, jogadores que praticarem qualquer uma das ações acima correm o risco de serem removidos do torneio, sofrerem infrações ou algo pior.
Cláusula de Espécies: Um jogador não pode ter dois Pokémon com o mesmo número na Pokédex em sua equipe.
Cláusula do Sono: Você não pode induzir o sono em mais de um membro da equipe adversária.
Cláusula de Evasão: Os movimentos Double Team e Minimize são proibidos.
Cláusula OHKO: Os golpes Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold e Fissure são proibidos.
Cláusula de Batalha Infinita: Qualquer coisa capaz de criar intencionalmente uma batalha infinita é proibida, e o empate será imposto após 1000 turnos.
