​
It is recommended to play all games on SmogTours in the most current version of the format corresponding to those listed above. Games can be played on the Pokemon Showdown main server, but run higher risk of interference from server restarts/crashes.
Scheduling
Scheduling should be done on Smogon Profile walls, plain and simple:
- If there is communication on only one user's behalf, the win will go to them. Feel free to call activity in this thread beforehand
- If there is a very healthy back and forth regarding potential times and one user is a no-show, a manager may take the opportunity to sub out the no-show competitor; if this is not done, the user that showed up responsibly will be awarded the win.
TL;DR: Post on your opponent's Smogon wall, schedule your matches, and be reliable. If you can't play for any reason, let your manager know so they can sub you out ASAP.
Sportsmanship
Exhibitions of unsportsmanlike conduct with regards to the Hackmons Premier League will be met with an infraction at the discretion of the HPL hosts/OM mods. This rule is meant to protect other users from being publicly flamed/bashed/provoked by another competitor for the duration of and following the tournament.

All players must complete their matches by the given deadline. Any incomplete matches by that time will be subject to an activity decision (MAKE SURE YOU POST ON YOUR OPPONENT'S WALL); otherwise, it will be a deadgame. All matches should be done on your voiced alt and all match replays must be saved and posted in this thread.
Substitutions
Managers, if you wish to make any substitutions, you must post here tagging both the player you're subbing out, the player you're subbing in,both managers of the opposing team, the substitute's opponent, and ALL of the hosts. This is to assure that everyone is in-the-loop and that the OP is updated accordingly to reflect the new match-up.

Idk bh I'm guessing.
SV PH: ReSolaris vs Ballfire
Actually plays the tier.
USUM PH Bo3: Child of Night vs NToTheN
N hasn't played usum in a while. Anything can happen in this tier though.
ORAS PH: LycanrocWastaken vs sussyamongusdrip
I think samd is probably better, and I think koen w1 team was kinda awful so I'm not sure how well he remembers how to play this tier.

idk bh all these are just guesses
SV PH: Bread Sandwich vs Eyeos
Has the best svph support in the tour by far.
USUM PH Bo3: Cazenovia vs cscl
cscl is better but anyone can win with a good matchup.
ORAS PH: Iguana vs Podra
I think iguana is definitely better even if their w1 teams were really suspect.

:Ampharos-Mega: Pink Giraffes (0) vs (1) Salty Stoners :Garganacl:
SV PH: hendrit vs GigaBytes7
sent to the mines vs professional miner
USUM PH Bo3: rightclicker vs Yourself
coinflip tier
ORAS PH: blahpy vs clodsie
lowkey i'd say blahpy and clodsie are around the same level so imma put this as a tie

:Marshadow: Speiraskia Specters (1) vs (0) Dubwool Entendres :Dubwool:
SV PH: ReSolaris vs Ballfire
sent to the mines vs professional miner again
USUM PH Bo3: Child of Night vs NToTheN
coinflip tier
ORAS PH: LycanrocWastaken vs sussyamongusdrip
koen hasn't played oras in a while and neither has sussy so idk

:Pikipek: Brr Brr PataPikipeks (2) vs (1) MaHōYo Mewtwo :Mew:
SV PH: Bread Sandwich vs Eyeos
i just realized that the pikipeks have half the sv ph playerbase on their roster what the FUCK lag and aidan
USUM PH Bo3: Cazenovia vs cscl
cscl is the only person who doesn't abide by the coinflip rules, they're just that goated
ORAS PH: Iguana vs Podra
iguana is a top 3 oras player and podra unfortunately isn't

Six gen seven the Hackmons man
Is waiting for the Trick of Choice Band
Pivoting POgres out without a plan
Like the every !daily
Rat that bothers the Hackmons man
Could I do something just to make him CGas
Inside my little tier run by SubPass
So he played the
Hackmons Man, Hackmons Man
With his Kart running Band
So he demands
To make his luck run wild
Dark Void land
Way up high in the night
With his sky-burning light
Ain't it nice
The game forever for
Hackmons
 
10-3 predicts last week. this tour is scripted and i am writing it

:Ampharos-Mega:Pink Giraffes (2) vs (6) Salty Stoners:Garganacl:
SV BH: Betticus IV vs vnmmv
pretty close call but i think vnmmv has a really solid grasp on the meta at this point
SV BH: Wheaty vs damflame 3
damflame has been very active recently and is pretty proficient at playing every style. wheaty youre my guy but you gotta stop clicking sap at 100 against guys that have revealed sd
SS BH: XxLazzerpenguinxX vs Ivar57
i think both are pretty rusty but ivar has more late-meta experience, sevag was really good in like 2021 but he hasn't really engaged with sd regi stuff and gen8 offense to my knowledge
USUM BH: TheCreatorOfBullsht vs Enzonana.
gen7 has a lot of really dumb shit legal. can you tell im excited to play this week
ND BH: DerpySuX vs porcupine
i dont think ive ever played against either of these people
SV PH: hendrit vs GigaBytes7
oh hey its gigabytes
USUM PH Bo3: rightclicker vs Yourself
allegedly plays the tier
ORAS PH: blahpy vs clodsie
both will get tourbanned by rambling about their teams to any opposing player who will listen. the match will commence in secret anyway, and both of them will become unreachable for two or three years afterward because theyll be going over the game

:Marshadow:Speiraskia Specters (3) vs (5) Dubwool Entendres:Dubwool:
SV BH: teamo vs SammyCe123
teamo is fine but i value experience a lot in sv
SV BH: hxmo vs Mok3s
the moker
SS BH: ItsChew. vs Rei
chew put on a much more convincing performance last week, but i think they might be stuck on inspiration for this week and bring some toothless balance that can't win against whatever rei cooks up
USUM BH: Treeko928 vs QT
qt will totally psych themselves out when prepping and then treeko will bring stall and win lol
ND BH: TTTech vs Quinn
holy 100 turn slog incoming. i trust quinn to be slightly more consistent at those
SV PH: ReSolaris vs Ballfire
oh hey its ballfire again
USUM PH Bo3: Child of Night vs NToTheN
con will perform some rituals to win
ORAS PH: LycanrocWastaken vs sussyamongusdrip
sorry
 
:ampharos-mega:Pink Giraffes (4) vs (4) Salty Stoners:Garganacl:
SV BH: Betticus IV vs vnmmv
Bit more careful in-game and has shown that they can accurately prep while bringing coherent teams
SV BH: Wheaty vs damflame 3
Current meta appears quite amicable w/ Wheaty's preferences and he's not one to randomly throw
SS BH: XxLazzerpenguinxX vs Ivar57
Close one – Ivar is a much more precise pilot but big-picture team ideas matter more than small optimizations in a meta that probably appears more centralized than it should be, which favors sevag
USUM BH: TheCreatorOfBullsht vs Enzonana.
We haven't seen bullsht outside of USUM PH but the kinds of mistakes they make in-game are in relatively unfamiliar situations but not very complex gamestates, i.e. lack of tier experience will matter a lot. Enzonana's more used to playing random bs
ND BH: DerpySuX vs porcupine21
More precise pilot + rightclicker is better equipped to pass some kinda bullshit – the banlist for this tier is kinda insane
SV PH: hendrit vs GigaBytes7
Bytes' sets seemed overall more functional last week but they played as though they're unfamiliar with the meta, will come down to team choice
USUM PH Bo3: rightclicker vs Yourself
49-51 predict but I like Yourself's attitude towards the tier, motivation matters a lot when prepping in matchup hell metas
ORAS PH: blahpy vs clodsie
I agree more with blahpy's teambuilding decisions last week, haven't seen clodsie play enough to comment on ingame but I think blahpy will put in effort to bounce back this week

:Pikipek:Brr Brr PataPikipeks (4) vs (3) MaHōYo Mewtwo:Mew:
SV BH: Mewtwo's Greatest Soldier vs duckycrater
More impressed with Mewtwo's general piloting than ducky's BH game last week
SV BH: ANinjaDude vs seraphz
Hallward sets tend to be more pointed towards the "actual metagame" (as opposed to theoretically plausible sets) than they should be, esp. vs. someone who spams random bs
SS BH: lag=bad vs carbene
Liked carbene's playing more + teambuilding decisions were much more precise + less overtly risky. Good on lag for winning last week tho
USUM BH: jb291 vs cityscapes
jb is about as good a pilot but may neglect possible sets and make unnecessary concessions ingame (exp. gap). Teambuilding-wise city is a pretty sound builder and is much less likely to overlook problem matchups when prepping
ND BH: anaconja vs AM
anaconja understands better the nuances of Hackmons building + playing
SV PH: Bread Sandwich vs Eyeos
Liked Eyeos' team more last week but Bread Sandwich will play more carefully than RL did
USUM PH Bo3: Cazenovia vs cscl
cscl's tendencies are a lot harder to prep for than they look and they play pretty accurately too
ORAS PH: Iguana vs Podra
More precise pilot + unsure if Podra can take advantage of Iguana's scout enough to offset experience gap
 
Only post ph cus idk bh

:Ampharos-Mega:Pink Giraffes (2) vs (1) Salty Stoners

SV PH: hendrit vs GigaBytes7
Not expecting much from either as they don't really play the tier, but hendrit has better support
USUM PH Bo3: rightclicker vs Yourself
Hard to say who will win here. I think Yourself generally has better teams (and rc hasn't built anything but monotype in forever) and arguably plays better, but he is prone to choking so we will see
ORAS PH: blahpy vs clodsie
Both could win, but I think blahpy got a good wakeup slap last week and will pull through


:Pikipek:Brr Brr PataPikipeks (2) vs (1) MaHōYo Mewtwo

SV PH: Bread Sandwich vs Eyeos
It would be SO funny if PataPikipeks lost SV PH 2 weeks in a row (they won't because of the strategy meeting against eyeos)
USUM PH Bo3: Cazenovia vs cscl
Um, good luck Caz? Maybe they can pull some good old fashioned USUM bs, otherwise it's going to cscl
ORAS PH: Iguana vs Podra
Iguana has more experience in the tier and arguably better support
