SPECIFIC RULES
  • This is a standard USUM Doubles OU tournament
  • This tournament will be Double Elimination
  • Rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!
  • To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, all matches must have replays recorded. If neither player posts replays of the match, both players will suffer an automatic game loss. (If you were in losers' when you played, you are both out. If you were in winners', the winner is in losers' and the loser is out.)
  • If you are found signing up under more than one alt, you will be banned from circuit events for life.
  • Activity calls will be made by me, potentially with neutral assistance from a TD. Coin flips will be done on PS!
  • In the event that something is added to or removed from the Doubles OU metagame in the middle of a round, that change will be in effect starting the next round. Doubles Ubers is available as a challenge option if something is banned mid-round.

Clearing up the two remaining extension matches:

Mint16 vs Bvrvkkv - Both tried to get the match done during the original week and that wasn't possible; Mint tried to schedule a time to play on either Tuesday or Wednesday and didn't get a response until Wednesday night, after he had already called for activity saying he was too busy to do anything last-minute. While Bvrvkkv attempted to schedule a time after this and was arguably more active today, Mint did everything he could reasonably have been expected to do, so Mint16 gets the win.

LightCoreVGC vs VictorKids - This one is much easier, LightCoreVGC PM'd me to say he was conceding the match. VictorKids moves on to Round 3.

Pinging the resulting pairings:
Paraplegic vs Mint16
flarz vs VictorKids

Oh my goodness I'm dumb, I must have glazed over your pairing when I was copying them down from the challonge. Thanks for taking the initiative you two. I also realized that I missed the pairing below yours, so pinging polo_07 vs Whydon now. If you need an extension, I will be happy to grant you one since it was my own error that led to you getting this notification so late.
