Rules
All matches will be played with the CAP ruleset at the beginning of the round. E.G. Greninja may be banned two days after the round has started but Greninja will still be usable for the remainder of the round.
All matches will be a BO3 or Best of Three. You may switch teams in between games. You do not have to play all three matches if one person wins the first two though.
Replays must be saved and posted when claiming a victory / posting losses. No replay, no win, no exceptions. If participants fail to follow this rule, the match will go up on a coin flip.
Matches can be played on Pokemon Showdown OR Smogtours.
Activity calls will be dealt by on a case-by-case scenario, but generally just get your matches done. If it is impossible to due within the timeframe you may ask for an extension but please post it in the thread.
Schedule your matches. If one fails to communicate with another then the match will not be coin flipped and the user that tried to actively get the matches will get the win.
Ranking System
There will be 4 tournaments, 1 for every season. Depending on where you place in each tournament you will be rewarded with points. At the end of all the seasonals the top 16 points will be invited to the Champions Cup.
This edition of the CAP Seasonal will be handling points differently. In the previous seasonal, you gained points for winning matches which allowed people in the earlier stages in the tournament to get points easier, especially due to activity calls. Now to make qualifying into the Challenge Cup harder and more prestigious, you will only be awarded points based on where you place in this tournament.
Placement Rewards:
1st Place: 25
2nd Place: 16
3rd/4th Place: 12
5th/8th Place: 7
9th/16th Place: 3

For the seasonals bracket to work, we're stuck revolving around the points system that defines Champion's Cup. For that to work, we need a bracket that falls into a system with a top 16 and so on. As such, we follow the tournament ruling from the smogon tournament rules to define the starting bracket, and from there whoever is excluded is put in a pool of subs.
We're subbing aggressively in this tournament because of this; be active and get your games scheduled, and done. As for how subs work, each sub has a number and we'll be randomly picking a number whenever needed.First Come, First Serve
All tournaments that don't have a specifically approved sign up method will use First Come, First Serve for the first 62.5% of the players, and then the host must select the last 37.5% from the remainder at random. Here is a table to help you understand how this works:
To get your player list:
- First, make a list of players that signed up for your tournament. Some hosts like to maintain a list in the first post for the duration of the sign ups to lessen the effort required to post round 1 later (example).
- Check the table above to see how many players are given entry automatically via First Come, First Serve (the first 62.5%).
- Copy and paste the remainder of the list into random.org's list randomizer, and take the appropriate number of players from the top of the list to fill the remaining entry slots. The rest of the players can be put into a list of potential substitutes. If you are using IFM's bracket maker, you can select the "First 5/8ths Guaranteed" option to get this outcome too.
- You are now ready to generate your pairings.
