Welcome to the inaugural Doubles Grand Prix! The commencement thread for this tour can be found here, with details on scoring and the playoffs that will follow the conclusion of these three cups.
SPECIFIC RULES
- This is a standard USUM Doubles OU tournament.
- This tournament will be Single 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. Only games shown in a replay will be counted.
- 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 / the other Grand Prix hosts. 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.

For transparency, here is the bracket: https://challonge.com/smcup2019
The deadline for this round is Monday, June 24, at 11:59 PM Eastern time (GMT-4). Since I'm stupid and posted a day late, I'll be pretty lenient with extensions should they be necessary. Just let me know if you need an extension so I don't catch you in the activity sweep I'll be doing later this week (likely Friday or Saturday).
If you'd still like to enter the tournament, post "in as sub" and I will add you to the sub list.
Good luck to all!
