Welcome to the first bimonthly Spotlight Tour! This first iteration will feature the recently elected Broken Cup format. This tournament is your chance to showcase your skills in [Gen 9] Broken Cup in a single elimination best-of-3 series.
What is Broken Cup?
Broken Cup is the brand new, fine-tuned version of Hackmons Cup. It features only the best of the best that Pokémon Showdown! has to offer in terms of Pokémons, abilities, items and possible moves; that is NO MORE USELESS MONS, MOVES, ITEMS OR ABILITIES. The ruleset for this crazy format can be found in here:

Prizes
The winner of the Spotlight Tournament will receive the Room Prize Winner rank in the Random Battles room for a month and the possibility to pick a format for the next Randbats Spotlight poll!
How does the tour work?
It’s simple:
1. Contact your opponent on their Smogon wall and decide on a time to battle.
2. Battle each other in the format “[Gen 9] Broken Cup”. This format can be found under 'Randomized Format Spotlight', at the top of the third column. Alternatively, use /challenge gen9brokencup.
3. The first player to 2 wins advances to the next round.
Note that this tournament will end before the next Randbats Spotlight Ladder commences, i.e., before May 2023. This will determine the pace of the tournament. For this reason, extensions will generally NOT be granted.
Please note:
1. All scheduling attempts MUST be done publicly on Smogon Walls. No other proof of communication will count for act calls regarding scheduling attempts.
2. You MUST post replays of your wins.
We strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with the Smogon Tournament Rules and General Guidelines, if you haven’t already. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to contact the tour hosts, A Cake Wearing A Hat, Javi or me here on Smogon.
How do I sign up?
Just post “in”!
The deadline for signups is 11:59 PM GMT-7, on Sunday March 5th, 2023.
Good luck and have fun to everyone taking part!
