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.

Thought I'd make things more interesting. I asked the dubs room what I should bring next week. Y'all can expect me to bring one of the following, for at least one of my games:
  • Clamperl
  • Mega Lucario
  • Xurkitree
  • Pyukumuku
  • Exeggutor
  • DD Salamence rain
  • Pheromosa
  • Hard Baton Pass to Milotic
  • Psych Up Tapus (maybe with Volcarona)
  • Not Dewgong because it's a god awful Pokemon
  • Mega Tyranitar with Assurance (and maybe Stealth Rocks too)
