Welcome to the RBY NeverUsed Cup, part of this year’s NU Classic Cups!

The NU Classic this year consists of eight cups featuring generations ranging from RBY to SWSH. Players can earn points from their placements in each cup in order to reach the playoffs, where they will then compete in a top sixteen bracket.

Tournament Rules:
  • This is a standard RBY NU tournament.
  • Best of three, single elimination.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!
  • Saving replays is mandatory for this tournament. In the event of a dispute you must be able to prove that you won your game. I would strongly encourage you to play your games on the Smogon Tournaments PS! Server since it automatically saves replays.
  • Do not make baseless activity posts, get in contact with your opponent and report missed times / scheduling issues only.
  • Standard clauses apply. All the usual Smogon rules regarding activity, timer, disconnection, and ghosting rules apply. General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.

I just checked the round 1 bracket and it looks like you made a serious mistake... there shouldn't have been any round 2 byes but for some reason you had 38 matchups round 1 instead of either 32 or 48, leading to this really unfair bracket where 10/24 people in the next round get there without having to play a round 2. Where's the round 1 bracketmaker?

But isnt the way simpler solution (and also the one thats more fair) to just remove the people that were subs round 1 and then do round 2 properly?

others got subbed in to play matchups vs subs and would get screwed over + the sub setup was done incorrectly in the first place so no, all solutions here suck and it’s why i advocated a restart. the people on the sub list also signed up well before deadline so kicking them out of the tour wouldn’t be fair, idk how they ended up as subs anyway
 
i'm sorry to do this but i'm calling activity. i've tried to be patient because this is clearly their first tournament but we scheduled for yesterday, i spent a while yesterday trying to get them onto pokemon showdown so we could play our match. they couldn't figure it out, so i suggested we try again today since i'd have more time to guide them through this.

we've been through 28 smogon conversation messages, i've tried to guide them through this but it is just not working. i'm convinced i'm being trolled to some extent (the username is for sure influencing this train of thought) but i also don't want to assume the worst. i can supply conversation logs to the host if needed.

today we tried again, they successfully logged onto showdown but then challenged me to randbats; which i then rejected and challenged them to rby nu. they then went dead silent.
