Tournament 2v2 Classic I - Information and Discussion

[Mubs]

Approved by The Immortal

​

Welcome to the first-ever edition of the 2v2 Classic! This tournament consists of three separate cups: The SM, the ORAS, and the BW Cup. Each cup is a single-elimination, best of five tournament in which the most successful players will enter a single-elimination playoffs bracket to compete for the title of 2v2 Classic Champion.

Signups for each cup will last one week. Hosts of each cup are allowed to play in the tournament they are hosting because the Smogon bracketmaker can't be rigged. Here are the hosts for each tournament:

• SM 2v2 Cup - Hosted by stableprince569: Sept 6th​
• ORAS 2v2 Cup - Hosted by Arai: Sept 13th​
• BW 2v2 Cup - Hosted by Lkjc: Sept 13th

Notable information about playoffs

• The point system will be the same as the one used in Smogon Classic.
• Playoffs will feature the top 8 highest seeded players. Each series will be a Bo3o3 (Best of three of three) with the person that wins two series being the winner.
• In playoffs, Top seed picks the first meta, afterwards loser counterpicks to play all 3. You cannot revisit a meta once it has been played.
