- This is a standard ADV OU tournament
- This tournament will be a Swiss tournament with a to be determined top cut size depending on signups.
- Players will be automatically dropped when they hit three losses as they are no longer in contention for top cut.
- Players will be assigned a random opponent out of the pool of players with the same record as you each round.
- 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 are required from Round 2 onwards.
- There are no extensions, so please get your games done on time.
- Activity calls will be made by me, potentially with neutral assistance from a Tournament Director. Coin flips will be done publicly on PS!
- In the event that something is added to or removed from the ADV OU metagame in the middle of a round, that change will be in effect starting the next round.
- 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.
