Welcome to the second installment of DPP World Cup! All discussions and communications will happen on DPP Discord, so if you plan to participate in any way we strongly encourage you to join it. Besides, presence in the discord is mandatory for all captains for communication and activity purposes.
In this tournament based on Smogon's WCoP, you will rally up to fight alongside your countrymen for the glory of your nation and the coveted title of World Champions of DPP! The winning team will also be awarded a team custom avatar, courtesy of PS admins!

Regarding eligibility:
You are eligible for any region in which you resided for extended periods of time after the creation of your Smogon account. "Cultural eligibility" will not be considered. We reserve the right to reject any player that we deem to be insufficiently eligible, for example if they do not have long enough periods of time in a location or if they're blatantly lying about their eligibility. If you're not sure about one or more of your eligibilities, please contact me!
To be clear: If you're only eligible to play for a country that has a team in the tournament, you cannot play for the respective continental team. For example, Bob is only eligible to play for Germany, therefore he cannot sign up to play for Europe. If you have more than one valid eligibility, you may choose to indicate one as your primary and one secondary eligibility. For example, Judith is eligible for both Italy (has a team) and India (doesn't have a team), therefore she can put either Italy or Asia as her primary eligibility and the latter as her secondary, if she chooses so.
The format for the entire tournament will be as follows:
In the first stage of the tournament, the 16 teams will be split into 4 pools of 4 teams each. Over the following three weeks, teams will face each of the other teams in their pool in the 6v6 format above. Teams will be awarded 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. At the end of stage one, the teams will be seeded by points. If teams are tied on points, teams with the higher win/loss differential will be seeded higher. (To be clear, win/loss differential is based purely on the result of full matches; Bo3 slots count for 1 win regardless of whether it was 2-0 or 2-1, and they count the same as Bo1 slots.) If teams are tied on both points and win/loss differential, their head-to-head records will then be taken into consideration. A playoffs tiebreak will only occur if:
After stage one, the top two teams in each pool progress to the playoffs. Sets will be in the same 6v6 format, with the same tiebreak format of 3 Bo1s. Playoffs this year will be seeded as follows:
On activity decisions: Activity decisions will be made in a similar fashion to any other standard Smogon team tournament. Be transparent in scheduling, flag scheduling conflicts early, and keep the hosts in the loop. Teams have either 30 minutes from the scheduled time or 20 minutes from the team ping to produce a player (the original player or a substitute) - whichever is longer.

- Teams are tied on all three counts (i.e. they have the same points and win/loss differential, and they tied in Stage 1); and
- Qualification for playoffs is at stake (if teams are tied for the first seed, their seeding will be randomised).
