Welcome to the BW DOU Swiss Tournament! 
Part of the DOU Oldgens Circuit, and hosted by zee and Smudge
Tournament rules
- This tournament will follow a hybrid format. Each player will participate in four rounds of Swiss. After the conclusion of the Swiss rounds, all players with a 2-2 record or better will move on to a single elimination bracket.
- All rounds will be best of 3. You may switch teams between games.
- Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown, on either the main server or the SmogTours server.
- To encourage metagame development, prevent disputed results, and ensure an even playing field, replays are required for all matches.
- Activity calls will be made by one or both of the tournament hosts, potentially with neutral assistance from a Doubles OU Forum Moderator. Coin flips will be done publicly on PS, in the Smogon Doubles room.
- In the event that something is added to or removed from the BW DOU 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 team to bring or what plays to make)
- Manipulating match outcomes (e.g. throwing a match in exchange for Smogon likes)
- Do not harass or insult your opponents. We reserve the right to disqualify anyone breaking this rule. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary.
