:rs/celebi: ADV Cup X - Round 4 :rs/celebi:

Tournament Rules
  • General tournament rules and regulations are in effect and can be found here.
  • Smogon Classic rules can be read here.
  • Standard ADV OU.
  • Best of three, single elimination.
  • Replays are now mandatory!
  • Matches are to be played on Smogtours, unless both parties agree to play on Main PS! server.
  • Do not make baseless activity posts -- get in contact with your opponent and report missed times / scheduling issues only.
  • Replays will be required starting in Round 2 of the tournament.
This is just a small snippet of the full rules, which one can find here!

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. Furthermore, pretending to be another player in relation to a tournament battle is strictly prohibited. Do not try to impersonate or play as another player.

About playing on different servers: Tournament matches must be played on the Smogtours server. The Main PS! server is also acceptable if both parties agree to that. Other servers are not sanctioned by the TD team and playing in them might result in your game not counting. Protect yourself from that by playing on Smogtours, where we also have the power to recreate games that end due to DC's.

Scouting

On scouting opponents: 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. 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

On the Timer: The timer must stay on throughout the whole battle.

On Timeout losses: A player that loses by having all his time run out loses the game. This is only not the case if the player that received the timeout loss can be verified to have suffered a True Disconnection. Rematches are only allowed if there was a True Disconnection.

On True Disconnection: The TD team has a secret threshold of seconds that your timer must be at or above, from the moment you disconnect, for a timeout loss to be considered a True Disconnection. If your game is determined to be a true disconnection, if you played on Smogtours and contacted a TD before the room expired, your game will be recreated up to the point the disconnect happened. It is the responsibility of the player that disconnected to get a TD into the room before it expires.

Both of you put minimal effort into scheduling and didn't get a real schedule time. If you had agreed to whatever schedule time I could've granted an extension but it wasn't the case and I don't think one had a better case than the other for activity, thus the coinflip.

but it's two weeks, right?
well, the previous weeks were like that.
 
Only first round is two weeks, deadlines are in big bold letters in the OP, come on
bro we both clearly just want to play it out, its only r4, can we just get the extension until wed? it won't cause a major issue in the tournament and i understand ur pov, could u reconsider it as it is pretty early in the tournament and my classic run is dependent on it.

Ok that's fine

Schedule a proper time before 11:59pm -4 tonight and I'll grant it
 
ez Mmm, at your 6 pm? Would that be my 10 pm? Do you think it's Tuesday? You had mentioned in my profile that you could on Tuesday.
