The qualification phase of ORASLT will happen on the regular ORAS Ladder on Pokemon Showdown!
The qualification phase will comprise 4 cycles of roughly 1 week each.
To register, follow the signup format of the ongoing cycle and register your alt on Pokemon Showdown.
Your alt must be signed up before you start laddering. You are only allowed 1 alt per cycle. You may not edit this after you sign up.
Register your account immediately after signing up below.
Your alt must begin with the cycle's prefix. Spaces and capitalisation do not matter.
All usernames must be clearly and distinctly related to your Smogon username. The hosts reserve the right to disqualify any users in violation of this rule.
At the end of each cycle, the Top 4 registered accounts on the leaderboard (by ELO) will qualify for playoffs.
Playoffs will be seeded, best-of-3, and single-elimination. Seeding will be based on ELO first, followed by week qualified in the case of tied ELOs (with the earlier qualifier seeded higher).
Once you have qualified for playoffs, your qualifying ELO is locked. You may continue to ladder, but you will not be able to get a higher seed.
Don't be silly. Don't cheat. Don't try to cheat. Anyone found cheating will be subject to strict punishments. Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
Ghosting or getting ghosted;
Asking an opponent to forfeit;
Forfeiting or throwing a game to boost someone else's account;
Sniping your own alt accounts for free wins; and
Any other attempt to game the system.

Note that the cycles will attempt to make sure all timezones have a fair shot, so times when the cycle gets up will be announced per week
We will be announcing each respective qualifier on the most convenient matter (either here or on a new thread).
