Tournament Format:

This tournament is cut into two stages - Top Cut Swiss, followed by a single-elimination bracket.
What is Top Cut Swiss? A tournament format adapted by Smogon for its OLT Playoffs after OLT5, the people of this tournament will participate in a swiss portion for 5 rounds. Players will participate in this only until one of two conditions have been met:
  1. They have won three games, or
  2. They have lost three games.
The players who have lost three times are removed from the tournament, and the remaining top half of players will play a more standard single-elimination bracket to determine who is the winner. Those players who meet either of these conditions will no longer participate in the swiss portion of the tournament, though only the losers are eliminated.

Tournament Rules:
  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
  • The banlist for this tournament is the same as the 2v2 Doubles ladder of the Smogon University server of Pokemon Showdown and can be found here.
  • Best of five, single elimination.
  • If metagame changes occur during the middle of a round, they will take effect in the subsequent round.
  • Battles must take place on Pokemon Showdown!.
  • Sw/Sh cartridge win conditions are in place; there are no ties.
  • Replays are recommended to prevent disputes.

Here's the team I used for each battle, I scouted tort to build these vs them so they might be a bit specific but I think they all fuction fairly well:
Victini sun
Wack naganadel
Fidel Gastro
Pincurchin
Cool lagging tail sableye(this time it's prankster)

Shoutouts:
Chris+Helga numbers: both helped me build and practice for my semis and finals matches. Chris was even there in my darkest times(when I thought I lost my first 4 game links) and I am ever appreciative.

Keen eye sableye: very much on purpose, I didn't want my accuracy to be dropped so I could hit all my encores

Me: I worked really hard okay

Torterra: Great opponent, they were very understanding with scheduling and they gave a good fight. Tort actually pmed me after the game saying that they were glaciate WP victini G5 but just barely didn't have enough EVs so that match was a lot closer than I thought.

2v2 community: you all make it so fun to play 2v2, neither me or the metagame would be here without you, I encourage everyone to try to contribute what they can to 2v2 no matter what it is, and I wish good luck to all the new faces I'm seeing qualifying for ladder tour, you never know when your big break may be for me cause for me it was just my first tour.

Thanks, and talk to you later
