SPECIFIC RULES
  • This is a standard DPP OU tournament. All matches must be played in "[Gen 4] OU".
  • 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! (Main or SmogTours)
  • Replays will not be required until Top 16, , but it is mandatory to save them regardless in case of disputes.
  • Activity calls will be made by AC7 and Zacpz , potentially with neutral assistance from a Tournament Director. Coin flips will be done publicly on PS!
  • Do not cheat. Cheating will result in a disqualification. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary. Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
    • Signing up with more than one account
    • Ghosting or being ghosted by another player (e.g. while playing a set, asking for advice about what plays to make)
    • Manipulating match outcomes (e.g. throwing a match in exchange for Smogon likes)
  • Do not harass or insult your opponents. I reserve the right to disqualify anyone breaking this rule. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary
DPP forum for resources.

This is just a small snippet of the full rules, which one can find here!

  • Identity: Pretending to be another player in relation to a tournament battle is strictly prohibited. Do not try to impersonate or play as another player. You may request that your opponent log on to their main account to confirm that they are who they claim they are, and they must comply.
  • Scouting: Going through your opponents replays of tournament and ladder games is entirely allowed, as long as a game is public there is nothing preventing you from watching it. Abusing powers granted to you by being staff on Smogon or PS! to gain access to information a normal user wouldn't have access to is strictly forbidden. Divulging private information about someone's planned team to their opponent is never allowed, and will be heavily sanctioned. Requesting that such information be divulged is also grounds for punishment. Keep your scouting to publicly available information and you'll be fine.
  • Timer Clause: As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time.

Countering with extension request. The post on my wall for today was 12-4 PM (I assume Central time). It is not fair to then log on at 11 AM CT and demand an activity win and not be available during the requested time. Since it is later in the tournament I do not think an activity win is justified in this situation.

I am confused why you are gaslighting that I came at "11 my time" when this is something you can readily search before your post..?

I'm on Smogtours right now if you want to play.

I interpreted "Sunday at Noon -4" as availability during the range of 12–4 PM CT based on how it was written.

Activity Calls:

SENTURIES > toshimelonhead

A number of factors here.
1: Senturies being proactive offering availability even outside their best window.
2: From context, interpreting noon -4 as 12-4 is not the issue of Senturies. From context, senturies has already given their TZ as -4. It is also not reasonable to infer this from the 5:30pm -4 above being 5:30pm to 4am as they arent even written in the same format.
3: The response on the wall was Noon, which confirms an exact time rather than a window.
4: Senturies was on at the scheduled time and acted above and beyond the ruleset while waiting.
