re: Format and Managers
As mentioned in the signup OP, the format was always going to depend on the number of signups per team. Now that we've a clearer idea of the number of teams and signups for each of them, we've decided to move to 4 SV slots and to mirror the World Cup of Pokémon style of pools. This means that the new format is:

:koraidon: SV Ubers :koraidon:
:koraidon: SV Ubers :koraidon:
:koraidon: SV Ubers :koraidon:
:koraidon: SV Ubers :koraidon:
:yveltal: SS Ubers :yveltal:
:necrozma-ultra: USUM Ubers :necrozma-ultra:
:groudon-primal: ORAS Ubers :groudon-primal:
:genesect: BW Ubers :genesect:
:dialga: DPP Ubers :dialga:
:latios: ADV Ubers :latios:

All SV players will be put into the same player pool when deciding pools - there is no difference between SV slot 1, 2, 3 or 4. Given the increase in slots, we'll also be changing the minimum number of players per team to 13 and the maximum to 15. Similarly to WCOP, we will have 3 weeks of pools, with each player being required to play at least 1 of their 3 games by the end of week 2 or run the risk of their team being penalised. Exceptions may exist on a case by case basis, managers can speak to the hosts if needed.

We've also finalised the teams and managers - if teams would like to change their managers or assign a co-manager, shoot a message to myself, Ticken, or Taka. All managers are required to be in the Ubers Discord so that they can easily be contacted by hosts or other managers. The teams and managers for this Ubers World Cup are:
Rosters will be due in the Rosters thread by <t:1767546000:f>. Grandfathering will remain in place for teams returning from UWC III, any players who played for a team in UWC may play for that team again, even if they do not meet the requirements any more. For this case, Belgium is not considered the same as Benelux and US North East and US Midwest are not considered the same as US NE + Midwest - this rule does not apply to these teams. Please specify slots in the following format, without minisprites (can be in a spoiler at the end of your post if you'd like to do fancy formatting):
Managers:
SV Ubers:
SV Ubers:
SV Ubers:
SV Ubers:
SS Ubers:
USUM Ubers:
ORAS Ubers:
BW Ubers:
DPP Ubers:
ADV Ubers:
Substitutes:

re: Germany and Africa
After the teams above were decided, both Germany and Africa received enough signups to form their own teams. Thus, they will form and new German players will no longer be eligible for Europe. Grandfathering rules still apply and German players from the Europe roster in UWC III may play on Europe if they wish. Suzuya will also be stepping down as France's co-manager as he will manage Africa instead, our new managers are thus:
The tour format will not change and the above teams will also be expected to submit rosters by the same deadline.
 
Little bit early but I'd like this wrapped up ASAP after deadline so.
re: Unplayed games
The following games were unplayed at the end of the pools phase and have been resolved in line with activity win rules:
  • SV #11 - Kunvirgo vs rylon, rylon missed the schedule time and Latin America failed to provide a substitute in time.
  • ADV #2 - BlazingDark vs Yippie, BlazingDark missed the scheduled time and Africa failed to provide a substitute in time.
  • ADV #2 - BlazingDark vs MMII, BlazingDark missed the scheduled time, and the attempt to rescheduled didn't work. Since this game does not matter in the slightest, MMII will have the win - this is not to be used as precedent for games that matter.
  • DPP #5 - devin vs squinn, neither manager was able to supply logs of scheduling so this game will be flipped.

  • USUM #3 - 4tup vs Abele, no logs were provided and this game does not matter, so it will be flipped.

  • USUM #4 - Zesty43 vs Goat Heart ♥, no logs were provided and this game does not matter, so it will be flipped.

re: 8th Seed Tiebreak
At the end of pools, China, United Kingdom, and US West are all tied at 16-14, resulting in a tiebreak. Each team will play one another in a bo3 round robin, and the team that wins both of their bo3s will advance to playoffs. A few things to note however:
  • These will have a deadline of <t:1769918400:F>. This is to allow for further tiebreaking on Sunday if the bo3s end 1-1.
  • There is one fixed SV Ubers slot in each bo3 and each team may pick one tier each for each bo3. These do not have to be the same tier in each bo3.
  • Teams may field the same player in both bo3s.
  • In the event this ties at the end of Saturday, teams will play a bo1 SV round robin which will reset until a winner emerges.
The deadline for tier submissions is <t:1769457600:F>, with player lineups being due 12h later.
 
re: 5th Seed Tiebreak
Europe, US Midwest, and US South are tied for 5th seed, the managers were offered the chance to play one another to decide seeding but they declined so the seedlings were randomised. US Midwest are 5th, Europe are 6th, and US South are 7th.

re: re 8th Seed Tiebreak
China, United Kingdom, and US West have tied again. Each team will now submit a player to play in a best-of-1 SV round robin. This will be reset until a player emerges 2-0.

While this does not have to be live, given the 16h timezone gap and the time constraints at hand, I heavily suggest that the games be played back to back at (loosely) around:
  • 6am for Country A
  • 2pm for Country B
  • 10pm for Country C
Obviously games can be earlier or later depending on the given player’s sleep schedules (or not even back to back) but keep in mind that teams are literally as far apart as possible for this. Managers, please ping me on Discord once you’ve submitted your player. Substitutes are allowed if a player needs to head off due to the awkward time constraints at play. The deadline for this is <t:1770004800:F>, at absolute worst I’ll allow a 24h extension.
