Welcome to the first-ever Random Doubles Team Tour! This tournament is a celebration of all things both random and doubles, a place for those who want to think twice as much for half as long. Thanks to goldmason there will be a 5k React Prize for every player on the winning team!

Tournament Formats​

Six teams will compete in a round-robin main stage lasting five weeks, followed by a two-week (or more with tiebreakers) single-elimination playoffs. The tournament will consist of the following formats:
Code:
[Gen 9] Random Doubles Battle Bo5
[Gen 9] Random Doubles Battle Bo3
[Gen 9] Random Doubles Battle Bo3
[Gen 9] Official Competitive Ruleset (OCR) Random Doubles Battle Bo3 (Bring-6-pick-4, open teamsheet, VGC timer)
[Champions] Random Doubles Battle Bo3
[Gen 9/Champions] Format Roulette Bo3 (explained below)
[Gen 9] Challenge Cup 2v2 Bo7 (LJDA Rules, explained below)
[Gen 9] Doubles Hackmons Cup Bo3

For roulette, game 1 will be played as Gen 9 Random Doubles, then the loser will pick the format for each subsequent game from the following pool until one player has achieved two wins:
Code:
[Gen 9] OCR Random Doubles Battle
[Champions] Random Doubles Battle
[Champions] OCR Random Doubles Battle

Under Los Juegos Del Azar rules, players may select three wildcards to use over the course of a match. They may choose from:
  1. Remake Game
  2. Ban Tera
  3. Ban a Pokemon
  4. Showset
To use a wildcard, simply type in chat that you want to use one (e.g. "showset hypno" or "ban garchomp"). Each wildcard may only be used by each player once per match, and each player may only use up to one wildcard per game. Wildcards must be used during team select before a player has locked in their team. If a player uses a wildcard and then instantly locks in their team before their opponent has a chance to adjust their picks accordingly, the wildcard user will be awarded a game loss, but their wildcard will not be consumed.

Generally, to facilitate the remake wildcard, players usually play their match as a best of 9 using this challenge code: /chall gen 9 Challenge Cup 2v2 @@@ best of = 9, and whoever is remaking forfeits the game immediately upon using the card. I also recommend checking that your opponent is ready for you to select in any game where you've used a wildcard to avoid the situation described above.

Teams will be created via an auction on <t:1789830000:F>. Each team will have 100K points to spend on a minimum of 10 players (8 starters and 2 subs). Teams may self-buy neither, one, or both managers, and prices for doing so will be set by hosts on a team-by-team basis. Teams will nominate players in the order listed above.

General Rules​

  1. General Smogon tournament rules and regulations apply.
  2. Ideally, matches will be scheduled in the Random Doubles Discord Server; however, you may also schedule using Smogon walls.
  3. Teams should be pinged in the Random Doubles Discord Server if a player fails to show up at a scheduled match time. Once that happens, a 30 minute timer starts, after which an act win will be awarded if the pinged team fails to find a suitable sub.
  4. Replays must be both saved and posted for every game played.
