2022 BSSC INVITATIONALS
Welcome to the final BSS tournament of the 2022 circuit, where the champion will be crowned with a ribbon
Specific Rules
- This is a Standard SWSH Battle Stadium Singles Tournament.
- The tournament will be Best of 5, Single Elimination with no teamlock
- Games can be played with Series 13 rules ONLY IF BOTH PLAYERS AGREE TO IT. If one player does not agree to playing Series 13, the set will default to Series 12. All games within a set must follow the rules of one series (e.g. 5 games of Series 12, not starting with 2 games of Series 12 and finishing with 3 games of Series 13)
- Because the challenge-only format for Gen 8 BSS is Series 12 rules, in order to play Series 13 you must use a custom rules challenge. This can be accomplished by using /challenge [USER] gen8battlestadiumsingles@@@+mythical,+restricted legendary in any PS room chat or /challenge gen8battlestadiumsingles@@@+mythical,+restricted legendary in PMs.
- Bringing a Series 13 team to a Series 12 game will result in a game loss.
- Matches MUST be played on the Smogtours server (http://smogtours.psim.us/)
- Replays must be saved and POSTED. Matches without a replay will not count as completed.
- 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.
- Matches will be played in the Singles format
- Pokemon above level 50 will be brought down to level 50, and Pokemon below level 50 will be brought up to level 50
- Players pick 3 of their 6 Pokemon at team preview
- Battle Mark Clause: A Pokemon cannot have a set that can only be obtained from before gen 7. (i.e. no past-gen exclusive move tutors/TMs/events)
- Species Clause: No two Pokemon in the same team can have the same National Pokedex number.
- Item Clause: No two Pokemon in the same team can hold the same item.

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.
