Battle Spot Singles Classic IV
Specific Rules
  • The tournament will be Best of Three of USUM BSS, ORAS BSS, GBU Singles. You can only play one game of each generation!
  • Single Elimination with an optional Last-Life Bracket available in place of a double elimination loser's bracket. See here for further information on the Last-Life Bracket.
  • Both players must agree on the format for the first game. If an agreement is not met, the first format will be USUM BSS. The loser of the first game gets to pick the format for the second game.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown/SmogTours
  • Replays must be saved and POSTED. Matches without a replay will not count as completed. If you don't want to risk forgetting to save replays play on Smogtours as it's automatic there.
  • In an event of a timeout, the player who times out will lose that game unless the opponent grants a rematch. This holds true even for a disconnect, due to being unable to know which three Pokemon have been selected at team preview. Consequently, players do not need to send in their teams to a TD.
  • Activity calls and coinflips will be done by myself and the pick command on Pokemon Showdown respectively.

Simulator Glitches: Any battle mechanics not properly implemented in the simulator used for a tournament battle are fair game, unless explicitly banned by that tournament's rules. Illegal movesets that are not restricted by the simulator fall into this category as well. However, this does not include faulty tier scripts; for example, if there was a bug in the BW OU tier script that allowed you to use Drizzle and Swift Swim on the same team, taking advantage of this would result in disqualification in that battle. If a game breaking glitch is discovered, we will make a blanket tournament ban on that glitch via an announcement in the Tournaments forum until it is fixed.

Ghosting: The player in a tournament battle should be the one making their own decisions. Do not tell a player what move to make in a tournament battle (i.e. do not "ghost" them), and do not make your moves based on another person's suggestions. If we are made aware that someone playing a tournament battle is making some of their moves based mainly on the suggestions of someone else, punishments may be handed out to both parties involved.

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. This applies to the use of alts as well. Any player who breaks this will be disqualified and may be subject to further punishment.

Rule Breaking: If a player breaks a rule during a battle, they are disqualified from that particular battle. If it was a single battle in a series, they will still have the opportunity to play the rest of the series.

Draws: If a battle ends in a draw in an elimination tournament or another tournament format that is unable to handle draws, there should be a rematch between the players with the option for both players to change teams.

Forfeiting: A player may forfeit their battle during or after the battle, as long as the result has not been confirmed by the host. If a player forfeits before a battle commences in the first round of a tournament, they are eligible for substitution if appropriate. We highly recommend that you do not forfeit your tournament battles just because you got lucky, but we do not enforce this.

Host / Tournament Director Decisions: The host may make a judgment call on the outcome of a battle with a disputed result, even if one player has broken the rules. If you believe the host has made an unjust decision, you may inform the Tournament Director responsible for the tournament of the situation and request that they make a final call on it.

Sportsmanship: If a player displays exceedingly poor sportsmanship before, during, or after a tournament battle, they may be disqualified or otherwise punished.


You can still sign up as a sub this round. Round 1 ends Sunday May 30, 11:59 PM EDT (GMT-4)

Since apparently it wasn't clear in the description, you are only supposed to play one game of each gen. The loser cannot pick the same format as the first game. I can accept the first game, but the second game is null and this set is incomplete. Please reschedule and replay G2 and G3 (if needed) using ORAS and/or GBU rules. I can give an extension if needed

Ah damn really? I asked my opp if they're sure we can repeat the same one but then didn't see it directly in the rules so yeah maybe that'd be a good addition to the rules
I guess we'll try but the timezone matchup is super poor so most likely we will need an extension
 
uhhhhh my opp hasn't responded to my requests for the game 2 that we're meant to repeat so we definitely need an extension
