We received 64 total signups for BW Cup. As a result, all players who initially signed up will have the opportunity to play! If you did not sign up initially but also wish to play, you may have a chance to do so by posting in as sub in this thread, where priority to substitutes will be given on a first come, first served basis.
Current priority for subs:
DONE
**IMPORTANT**
To maximize the number of completed matches, in round one only, I will be checking for activity to determine substitutes on Thursday, June 2nd by 11:59 PM Eastern time (GMT-4). Please schedule publicly so I can verify if contact has been established. If you have not established scheduling by that time, or you have scheduled privately (e.g. via Discord or Smogon PM) and not mentioned it to me or on either player's wall, you risk being subbed out by a player waiting to play.
