Congrats to the Top 16 players in the PU Circuit for making it this far! All of the tournaments have finally let to this point. Now the Top 16 players will play to determine the winner of the Circuit and will be awarded with the PU Circuit Ribbon

!

Specific Rules:
  • This is a standard SM PU tournament.
  • This tournament will be a single elimination tournament.
  • All rounds will be best of three.
  • 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, regardless of whether you confirm that your opponent won, your series will be coinflipped unless you can provide replays. We will not disqualify both players, but we will coinflip the series, not because we don't believe that you played, but because the replay rule ensures everyone is on an even playing field, as stated. If you wish for your replays to stay hidden, you may PM them to me instead.
  • PU is a usage based tier. Essentially you can use anything that is not in a higher tier; NU effectively serves as the PU banlist. However, there are several Pokemon banned from PU which are not in NU or a higher tier; aka BL4.
Standard Rules and Clauses
  • Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on his team.
  • Sleep Clause: You cannot inflict sleep upon more than one member of the opposing team.
  • Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned.
  • OHKO Clause: The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, and Fissure are banned.
  • Endless Battle Clause: Anything capable of intentionally creating an endless battle is banned.
General Tournament Rules:
  • Identity: I expect many battles to be completed under alts. This can be bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.
  • Scouting: Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any blatant scouting. There is a difference between "[user] is known for using stall" and "let me follow [user] around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter. I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. Everyone will have access to your replays from earlier rounds though.
  • Timer Clause: As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time.
  • Disconnections: Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't do it.

Congratulations to every single one of you! I am very excited to follow this circuit tour and witness pure skill and teambuilding excellence to wrap up USUM PU!

My predictions:

1. Rexus vs 16. HT - Rexus is currently undefeated in PU LTPL and that is a pure credit to his genius battling skills. Defo has the competitive edge here.

2. HJAD vs 15. Chloe - As much as I stan my Aussie brethren, HJAD has just won all of PU seasonals whereas Chloe has not been too interested in the meta as she once was. I still think Chloe has what it takes but I think HJAD has this one.

3. Skipkan vs 14. Youngster_Bill - I witnessed Skip's success in seasonals and think he has a decent shot winning in this pair.

4. lockjaw vs 13. yedla

5. Ktütverde vs 12. Squash17 ^_^ - Going for Ktut over Squash17 only because he has done this before and has experience in high-stress level matches. I think Squash17 does have a very strong chance if he plays his cards right given his really good teambuilding skills.

6. Star vs 11. tlenit1 - Tough call. I think Tlenit1 has this if he sticks to his guns and brings his creative yet well-developed and thought out teams to this.

7. Teddeh vs 10. TJ - Both users are bloody excellent and this is a highlight match with two of the most impressive players in the entire circuit competing against each other. Of the two, I am more inclined to choose Teddeh though but that is not to discredit the immense skill that TJ possesses.

8. soTsoT vs 9. Megazard - Gonna beat Zard in this weeks LTPL and I just want him to be happy.
 
1. Alkione vs 16. Raurone Même si Raurone est à l'aise dans le tier, je pense que l'experience d'Alkione dans ce genre de tours fera la différence. Je le vois donc gagner, même si je suis pour le poto Raurone !

2. zSpxdes vs 15. Horodro Horodro montre peu son très bon niveau dans le tier, et même si zS fait une poussée incroyable en ce moment je doute fort qu'il arrive à déloger le monstre.

3. Arcobaleno vs 14. Hyero Un match malheureusement à sens unique, j'aimerai qu'Hyero sorte la plus belle perfomance possible mais même avec ça, c'est mal partit...

4. yovan33321 vs 13. yedla le yed a quand même plus d'experience dans le tier, yovan33321 n'y ayant quasiment jamais touché. Je relève tout de même que yovan33321 joue régulièrement ZU, tier qui peut se rapprocher du PU sur certains points.

5. Ktütverde vs 12. Squash17 Squash est plus actif atm, mais Ktut reste au dessus selon moi, si il se prep Bronzor il devrait pouvoir gagner bien que Squash ne soit absolument pas à sous-estimer.

6. Lambovino vs 11. tlenit1 tlenit on edelleen yläpuolella, mutta olen tulossa älä huoli!

7. Sciroccoo vs 10. Gelbel3c Gelb a tendance à s'écarter de la scene smogon et sciro à l'air de bien apprécier le tier mais Gelb reste beaucoup plus constant, et ses builds farfelus sauront faire la différence.

8. Lulu vs 9. Urusius Lulu est un garçon plein de ressources, mais surpasser Urusius n'est pas mince affaire, il saura nous offrir un beau combat mais Uru est largement favori.

Hey guys, I made player cards for everyone! I know it's late and one person's already out but I did it anyway! And I also just borrowed TectonicDestroyer's format for OM circuit playoffs player cards but that's ok they're still kinda cool ig! And they'll be in the OP soon! e: lol I too low quality screenshots instead of dealing with uploads and left spellcheck lines, sorry guys. OP ones will be better
