Claiming against lavaskull. I gave a range of time I was available at which they accepted but never got back to me on any exact time I offered them on Friday. I don't think its fair to me to be available for all 5 hours when he hasn't responded and i have waited 25+ mins on the time I offered. If he messages me and I haven't fallen asleep by then, I will play them though.

The Draft League subforum is launching its next tournament, Autumn Seasonal 2026, our flagship SV individual tour! This is a Type A tour for the 2026 Draft League Circuit and will provide points toward this year's Draft League Championship. Games will take place in the [Gen 9] Draft tier on Pokémon Showdown with the Tera Type Preview rule enabled! This tour will use a Swiss schedule bracket, where all players with an X-2 or better record will progress to a single elimination bracket. The tournament's hosts are Happygate, kKimi, and Ultrxviolet

The following spoilers will cover signup information and rules for the tournament.
Tournament sizes are dependent on number of total valid signups (individuals who signup, join the Discord server and are verified in ⁠the Discord #verification channel). The first 62.5% of competitors that signup are guaranteed entry, while the remaining 37.5% are randomly chosen from the remaining player pool.
Example: 350 players signup, leading to a 320 person tour. The first 219 signups are guaranteed to be in the tour and the remaining 101 spots are randomly picked from the 131 remaining signups. Substitutes are picked on a first come first serve basis from the remaining signups. Once signups are sorted, the tour will follow the structure.

  1. Players will be placed in draft pools sorted by their time zones. They will be tagged in ⁠announcements when the draft begins, along with the sheet for their draft pool. It's advised to read the pinned message in your pool chat to further understand rules specific to the draft (as well as the Draft Rules and Battle Rules sections of this post for bans). Lying about your timezone during drafting is prohibited. Any player found to be trying to game timezone based drafting pools to get a more favorable draft pool will face punitive action. If a different timezone is better suited towards your current situation, please reach out to the hosts to notify them.
  2. Once the draft ends, the hosts will release the round 1 matchups via Smogon. These will be posted to the Discord in ⁠announcements. Each round will always last one week, with no extensions being available until the single elimination stage.
  • For the first round, there is a 12 hour timer. After the first round ends, there will be a continuous 6 hour timer within which you must pick, or you will be skipped, and will be required to make-up your pick when you are next online. All timers are off between 10pm-7am local time (check your pool's pinned message for local time).
  • In order to help speed up the first few rounds of the draft for everybody, tournament staff will impose a 24 hour check in. What that means is this:
    • From the commencement of the draft until 24 hours after, every single competitor will need to reach out to their pool mod (either in drafting channel discussion thread, or Discord DM)
    • This message can be simple "I'm here for pool X and ready to draft", no need to be elaborate
    • Any competitor who has already made a pick does not need to check in.
    • Any competitor who has not checked in with their pool mod by the time check-in is over in 24 hours will be replaced.
  • Your timer will halve every time you are skipped. It is recommended to leave picks (with backups) with your pool moderator to avoid this.
    • It is the responsibility of the player to inform the other members of the pool if they have left a pick with the pool mod so the players can properly notify the pool mod it is your turn to pick. The pool mods are not responsible for watching every pick at every hour of the day waiting to input your pick.
    • If you are skipped by the other players when you left a pick but did not inform them that you did, the skip is justified.
    • If the pool mod does not respond in a timely manner, notify an online Moderator for further assistance.
  • You have up to 90 points with which to draft 8 Pokémon. Costs are listed on your pool’s tab on the drafting spreadsheet.
  • You have up to 28 points with which to draft 2-3 Pokémon as Tera Captains. The Tera cost of a Pokémon is listed to the right of its name and the Tera cost takes away from both your Tera budget and overall budget.
  • If a Pokémon is picked by someone else, you may not pick it.
  • The following complex bans are in place:
    • No Pokémon may use the move Last Respects.
    • No Pokémon may use the move Shed Tail.
    • No Pokémon may use directly sleep-inducing moves EXCEPT for Yawn. This includes Dark Void, Hypnosis, Sing, Sleep Powder, and Spore.

About Activity Decisions

Activity Decisions / Coin Flips: In the event that there is an uncompleted match at the deadline, and an extension has not been requested, it will be coin flipped unless one or both of the players involved in the match specifically request an activity win and explain sufficiently why they deserve to win over their opponent. Attempting to schedule a battle is required in order to receive the win by activity. To make it clear that you are requesting an activity win when you post, you must open your post with "Activity Win Request" in bold.

For example, if you believe your opponent is making an unfair request and that they don't deserve the activity win over you, you can either make your own request or quote their post and explain why they don't deserve it. You should try to make your activity win request posts at least 24 hours before the deadline to give your opponent a reasonable opportunity to contest it with their own activity win request.

Please note that all extension requests and activity claims must be posted to the thread, and that all of these will be judged on a case by case basis.

[Credit to the Official Smogon Tournament hosting team for the base form of this rule.]
Contact your opponent as soon as possible upon the round going up. Activity cases are going to be handled in a very strict manner.

When scheduling, offer as wide a swathe of time when you are available to play. 1 hour of activity on one or two weeknights is unlikely to be considered acceptable.

Schedule specifically - do not schedule for "Friday afternoon" or "Sunday morning", pick a date, a time and note the time zone, ideally as GMT offset.

If either host catches news of ghosting or some other sort of nefarious play, we reserve the right to investigate to the full limits of our ability.

This seasonal will feature NO REDRAFT. You will be using your team for the entirety of Swiss + Top Cut!
