Welcome to the ZU Seasonal! This will be a double elimination tournament in the ZU format, as part of the inaugural Unofficial Metagames Circuit! This tournament will earn you points for the year-long circuit! This tournament will also be a Type A tournament as part of the 2024 ZU Circuit. This will be a double elimination best of three tournament held in the ZU format on Pokemon Showdown. All replays must be posted to the round's thread for a win to count, and each round will take one week.
Just to be clear, Alcremie and Thwackey are NOT allowed as it has banned from ZU despite the ban not being implemented on showdown yet. Bringing a banned mon will result in an automatic loss for that game.

About Activity Decisions
Activity Decisions / Coin Flips: In the event that there is an uncompleted match at the deadline, it will be coin flipped unless one or both of the players involved in the match specifically request an activity win and explain sufficiently why they deserve to win over their opponent. Attempting to schedule a battle is required in order to receive the win by activity. To make it clear that you are requesting an activity win when you post, you must open your post with "Activity Win Request" in bold.
For example, if you believe your opponent is making an unfair request and that they don't deserve the activity win over you, you can either make your own request or quote their post and explain why they don't deserve it. You should try to make your activity win request posts at least 24 hours before the deadline to give your opponent a reasonable opportunity to contest it with their own activity win request.
Host discretion will be applied for all unplayed games. This means that an activity win will not be automatically granted if you post, and a lack of post does not automatically result in a coinflip.
