Calling act on TGA . We scheduled very close to the deadline. Let them know how close to the deadline it was yesterday, got no confirmation. Asked again for confirmation, got no response. Come time to play (8:45PM), (originally scheduled at 9PM -7, but that was passed deadline so I said 8:45 which they should have seen as they've been online after I sent that message). Chazm wasn't able to get a sub in. Weren't online from 8:45 - 8:58. Called act.

Week 5
Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4​

The list of formats for this year's Spotlight League is as follows:
All games will be played on the Pokemon Showdown main server or SmogTours in the most current version of the format corresponding to those listed above. The result between players may be decided in a best-of-one or best-of-three at the discretion of both players involved. If there is no agreement, the result will decided in a Bo1 by default.

Winning a round rewards a team with 2 points, drawing 1 point, and losing zero points. In addition, the manner in which the round has been won will also be recorded i.e. the difference between a team's wins and losses in a specific week's round (referred to as "Win Differential").

Playoffs:
Each team will play one another for five weeks. Based on the final standings, the top 2 teams will appear in the finals and face off for victory.

Tiebreaker
In the event of two teams being tied for a spot in the finals based on points and win differential, or a tie in the final round itself, we will have a tiebreaker round(s).

Tiebreaker Rules: One metagame will be picked by each manager with the higher seed picking second. The third format will be determined at random by the hosts. All three metagames must be unique, so no format can be picked twice.

Substitutes
Substitutes are to be used in the case of extenuating circumstances, whether on the first day of the week, or the last. At the same time, players should be relatively well-aware of who all are available to play in the opponent's camp. If last minute substitutes are being frequently used or abused and the hosts find explanations unsatisfactory, the hosts still reserve the right to veto them. In order to further prevent this being the case teams are only granted a maximum of two substitutes per week. Any substitutions after the second will be vetoed.

Trades
The hosts have decided to not include trades this year due to reasons outlined in this thread - all roster decisions will be final, so draft carefully!

Sportsmanship
Players and managers displaying poor sportsmanship will be subject to punishment, including potential removal from the tournament, at the discretion of the tour hosts. This includes:
  • Inappropriate nicknames: Games in which a player uses nicknames that break PS! rules will be forfeited, and the player will be removed from the tour. Replays are required for this tour, so it is important that PS! and Smogon rules are followed in these games.
  • Toxic Behavior: Insulting, flaming, and intentional timer stalling are some examples of toxic behavior. Instances of toxic behavior will be reviewed, and the appropriate punishment will be handed out at the discretion of the hosts and OM forum moderators.


Scheduling
Scheduling should be done on Smogon Profile walls, plain and simple:
  • If there is no communication on Smogon Profile walls and a game goes undone, it will be considered a "dead game" and will not count towards either team's score.
  • If there is communication on only one user's behalf, the win will go to them. Feel free to call activity in this thread beforehand
  • If there is a very healthy back and forth regarding potential times and one user is a no-show, a manager may take the opportunity to sub out the no-show competitor; if this is not done, the user that showed up responsibly will be awarded the win.
TL;DR: Post on your opponent's Smogon wall, schedule your matches, and be reliable. If you can't play for any reason, let your manager know so they can sub you out ASAP.

Use these posts as a place to initiate discussion about bo1 or bo3 as well!

Sportsmanship
Exhibitions of unsportsmanlike conduct with regards to the Other Metagame Spotlight League will be met with an infraction at the discretion of the OMSL host/OM mods. This is unlikely to include interactions within a team's private chat unless there is reason found to make an exception. This rule is meant to protect other users from being publicly flamed/bashed/provoked by another competitor for the duration of and following the tournament.

All players must complete their matches by the given deadline. Any incomplete matches by that time will be subject to an activity decision (MAKE SURE YOU POST ON YOUR OPPONENT'S WALL); otherwise, they will be decided via !pick publicly in the OM Room. All matches should ideally be done on your most notable alt (the one you registered for OMSL with) to avoid confusion and all match replays must be saved and posted in this thread. The replays will be archived in a separate thread, and will be used to calculate usage stats.

Substitutions
Managers, if you wish to make any substitutions, you must post here tagging both the player you're subbing out, the player you're subbing in, the manager and assistant manager of the opposing team, the substitute's opponent, and all of the hosts (in the hills). This is to assure that everyone is in-the-loop and that the OP is updated accordingly to reflect the new match-up.

Final week! Get hyped, everyone!

This has been an interesting time and even though my team has not been, uhh, the most successful team overall, we definitely had fun and I'm looking forward to doing this kind of thing again!

It's been crazy to see all of the cool new sets for Sketch that I never would have thought of prior to releasing it, and I want to thank Chazm and the rest of the council for making sure we did what we could to stay on top of things (lucha being very late doesn't count shhh).

So anyway BMBs can definitely still win, right?

Retirement
Covering this weeks predicts since nobody did week 4 and I felt very sad

:Magearna: Magearna Magi [2][4] Black Magic Basculegions :basculin:
(Best of 5) SS 2v2 Doubles - Morgan vs Lancer Fr
Cool name change, I remember at some point StitChuu said Morgan was p good (maybe having an off season idk) so will bold them.
SS Bonus Type - omicorio vs StaZix
I think omicorio is the better player here and should take w ease (where tf is beauts)
SS Godly Gift - pannuracotta vs Flaming Deoxys
play your game and i'll bold u. otherwise, this is pretty much a toss up although I do expect Morytha to have somewhat of an advantage being an OMs main. And happy birthday!
SS Inheritance - adem vs I am prtty trash
adem is pretty cool but has shown some prtty obvious struggle/bad luck in his games, I am prtty trash is more familiar with OMs and inheritance as a whole.
SS Inverse - OM vs Ax
This should be a definite highlight, although I feel Ax edges OM a bit in player skill, both of these players are very familiar with the tier and should be a close one.
SS Sketchmons - TGA vs alaserdolphin
it is a laser dolphin's time, unless Chazm builds something really good for TGA.

:dubwool: Dubwool Entendres [4][2] Sleepy Slowkings :slowking:
(Best of 5) SS 2v2 Doubles - Krytocon vs Vrji
Vrji plays good, root for them they are good.
SS Bonus Type - Akashi vs Bea5
Last week was a blunder, this is probably the most surefire predict I can make (sorry bea5 but jeran is scary)
SS Godly Gift - UnnerfTalonflame vs Nultiprise
UT has been KILLING it in Godly Gift, this is also another surefire predict as he's shown a huge compassion to this meta and has been doing really good.
SS Inheritance - anaconja vs TectonicDestroyer
I've clearly underrated anaconja as an Inheritance player, even if that last game was cruel on us but we can agree he's decent and has good teams.
SS Inverse - PA vs Ren
PA's been doing decent in Inverse and I think Ren was just slotted in for ??? Idk, can't really make any other judgements, personally would have loved to see ren v UT in gg instead.
SS Sketchmons - ironwater vs XxSevagxX
ironwater decent player but sevag knows oms a lot more, especially sketch and he's good at it.

if u are mad in any way shape or form i dont care just prove me wrong lol​
