Happy Halloween! Welcome to the first ever Monotype Other Metagame ghosting tournament featuring seasoned metagames in Monotype: Little Cup, CAP, and Ubers on the forums! Signup in teams of 2-3 or individually and we will pair you with a team! The winning team will be rewarded prize winner in the live Pokémon Showdown room. The player that scores the most points individually in the pools round will receive Discord Nitro Classic from me as a prize.
Tournament Rules:
Pools to Elimination Bracket
Best of 1. If you tie, you'll need to repeat but it’s unlikely lol.
Public Room: If you're playing on Main, please make the room public. You're going to have to post a replay anyway so there's no point in hiderooming. If your room is hidden, type /modjoin off and /publicroom.
()Timer: Turn the timer on immediately of the match commencing as this series is already a best of three.
Replays: you must post a replay of your win. You can hide it or unlist it, but you have to post it
You can ghost (clue's in the name).
Teams can be atminimum 2 and at maximum 3.
You must post logs of your ghosting along with your replay in your winpost (losers are also encouraged to post logs but are not required).
() If you're playing on Main, make a groupchat (/makegroupchat) to do your ghosting. It makes it easy to just copy and paste the logs into a pastebin.
If you're playing on SmogTours, use Discord, but make sure to copy and paste your logs while in compact mode.
If you're in a voice call, you'll need to record a video and audio of your call and, if possible, the battle. Upload it to YouTube
Other than that, all tournament rules and guidelines apply (minus the ones about ghosting, obviously). Failure to comply with these rules will result in a loss or a coinflip.
Signups are now open! You can signup solo as a free agent to be added to a team miraculously. Remember, 2 members minimum, 3 members maximum
