Hosted by LogIce and Terekusai
OP from DOU Seasonal

SPECIFIC RULES

This is a standard National Dex Doubles tournament
This tournament will be Double Elimination
Rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown! (Main or SmogTours)
To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, replays are required for all matches.
Activity calls will be made by me, potentially with neutral assistance from a National Dex Forum Moderator. Coin flips will be done publicly on PS!
In the event that something is added to or removed from the National Dex Doubles metagame in the middle of a round, that change will be in effect starting the next round.
Do not cheat. Cheating will result in a disqualification. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary. Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
- Signing up with more than one account
- Ghosting or being ghosted by another player (e.g. while playing a set, asking for advice about what team to bring or what plays to make)
- Manipulating match outcomes (e.g. throwing a match in exchange for Smogon likes)
Do not harass or insult your opponents. I reserve the right to disqualify anyone breaking this rule. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary.
