Here it is, the long-awaited playoffs of the seventh edition of the Anything Goes Ladder Tournament! You all laddered hard in cycle one and two, and this is the culmination of that: all qualified players will now face off in single-elimination best-of-three series until this edition's winner is crowned. More importantly, though, they'll get a whole heap of Type A points to help toward their eligibility for the 2025 AG Circuit Championship!


Tournament Rules:

  • This is a standard SV Anything tournament
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!, ideally on smogtours.psim.us as it automatically saves replays + is easier to recreate games in case of disconnects.
  • This tournament will be Single Elimination.
  • All rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
  • All replays must be posted, without exceptions. Any win post without replays will not be counted.
General Tournament Guidelines
Identity

About playing on alts: It is entirely allowed to play on an alt other than your own main forum name, though if your opponent wishes to confirm your identity, you must log on to your main alt to show them you are who you claim to be. This is to prevent people from pretending to be who they're not.

About playing on different servers: The matches must be played on either the Smogtours server or the Main PS! server if both parties agree to that. Other servers are not sanctioned by the host(s) and playing in them might result in your game not counting. Protect yourself from that by playing on Smogtours.

Scouting

On scouting opponents: Going through your opponent's replays of tournament and ladder games is entirely allowed, as long as a game is public there is nothing preventing you from watching it. An exception to this is 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, which is strictly forbidden.

On leaking teams: 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 / Disconnections

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.

Disconnections: Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't do it.

Scheduling

Use VMs to schedule with your opponent to make it easier for me to track activity calls when needed, and use this guide to ensure you don't lose via activity or coinflip. If you use other methods to contact your opponent outside of VMs, then post in this thread confirming you're in contact with your opponent; otherwise, it's not necessary. Extensions for those with time conflicts will only be given when proof is provided of scheduling with their opponent in the beginning of the round, so do not schedule last minute expecting to be compensated in case of time zone conflicts or be given an activity win over your opponent.

I know that was a lot to read, but it is all necessary for me to have posted here so everyone can see it in the case of a dispute. I don't want any confusion or any problems.

The following is all subjective speculation, without any objective facts. If you have different opinions, it must your are right.
1. emoxu9 vs. 16. Donhwa
Xuxu Xuxu❤️ Xuxu is the best Genshin Impact player I have ever seen, so he will win.
2. Bread Sandwich vs. 15. Swas
Swas likes to play Arknights and plays it well,.He told me that I should immediately put down all the games and play arknights , so he will win,.
3. Kunvirgo vs. 14. Tox in DbMaj
Yesterday Kun told me that he had a dream, in which he saw that I was a cs-go2 master. I think he has the ability to predict the future, so he will win.
4. Lord Rekkuza vs. 13. Axis_Lucario
Axis's initials are a,a it's the first letter, so he'll win.
5. Tocause vs. 12. Jhnfui
Generally speaking Tocause has three situations, one in three sleeping, one in three losing, and one in three winning. Yesterday, he played the Honor of kings with me and hurt me to lose. Today, he is asleep, so he will win.
6. cloudu0 vs. 11. liliou
Cloud he's a new guy, but liliou also playing Genshin , so I think "VS" will win this game
7. GigaBytes7 vs. 10. xinnobu
Xinnobu with the most powerful dragon picture technology, even I can't compare with him.He has always been the most dragon of them all , so he's gonna win.
8. Geysers vs. 9. polt
Geysers the avatar is a fountain, but the plot avatar is a cat. I like cats, so plot will win.

1.emoxu9 vs 8. Geysers
"The Genshin Impact has never been a Venerable. If possible, I might be able to fill the gap. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? "XuXu didn't say this sentence, just said it in his heart.
He sat enthroned, and his eyes seemed to pierce the hall and look into the sky.
13. Axis_Lucario vs 5. Tocause
"It failed after all." Tocause sighed in his heart, with some emotion, but he didn't regret it.
This kind of result, he also had foreseen. When he first chose, he was prepared psychologically.
So-called stall player, just don't play HO, just play Stall. Heaven and earth forbid, all the world is enemies, but they follow their hearts.
"If the newly formed Ho-oh stall team works, I still want to play stall in the next game! "Thinking like this, TOC couldn't help laughing.
15. Swas vs 10. xinnobu
"Have you thought about it?" Said Miss Long. "Want the power of a dragon picture?"
Xinnobu nodded his head.
"Even if this taboo power from ancient Baidu Tieba will make you lose something precious?" Miss Long watched xinnobu eyes.“Do you have the ability, the consciousness to accept such painful consequences?”
“What I lost is false, but what the other party lost is true." Xinnobu a sneer flashed across his face.
Long Yutao was speechless. He turned his back. "The power is yours now."
3. Kunvirgo vs 6. cloudu0
Have you ever heard of Ability Shield the story?Legend has it that this prop has mysterious power to stop Mold Breaker.
“You lie! My friend has tested it, and it's impossible. "Moli_云墨 shouted. He looked very angry.
Cloudu0 was confused. He asked, "History proves everything. Who is your friend, what did he test,he can ignore the official?"
“Different platforms have different rules. Although the official created this thing, it doesn't mean that it was created correctly. I feel that this thing should be what I said.I don't think the official is as deep as I understand it.”Moli said.
Cloudu0 has understood, so he asked, "Do you think you are a professional player?"
Moli said, "I think I am."
So everyone laughed.
