Tournament Rules
  • General tournament rules and regulations are in effect and can be found here.
  • This is a standard BW OU Tournament. All matches must be played in "[Gen 5] OU".
  • This tournament will be a Single Elimination, No Johns. For those unaware, "No Johns" means you will have much shorter round deadlines (usually 3 to 4 days) as well as no grantable extensions.
  • Each set played will be a Bo3. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
  • Replays will not be required until Top 16, but it is mandatory to save them regardless in case of disputes.
  • Matches are to be played on smogtours, unless both parties agree to play on Pokemon Showdown! main server.
  • Do not make baseless activity posts -- get in contact with your opponent and report missed times / scheduling issues only. Activity calls will be made by me, potentially with neutral assistance from a RoA Forum Moderator or Tournament Director. Coinflips will be done publicly on PS!
  • 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
    • Manipulating match outcomes
  • Do not harass or insult your opponents. I reserve the right to disqualify anyone breaking this rule. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary.
This is just a small snippet of the full rules, which one can find here!
  • 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. You may request that your opponent log on to their main account to confirm that they are who they claim they are, and they must comply.
  • Scouting: Going through your opponents replays of tournament and ladder games is entirely allowed, as long as a game is public there is nothing preventing you from watching it. Abusing powers granted to you by being staff on Smogon or PS! to gain access to information a normal user wouldn't have access to is strictly forbidden. Divulging private information about someone's planned team to their opponent is never allowed, and will be heavily sanctioned. Requesting that such information be divulged is also grounds for punishment. Keep your scouting to publicly available information and you'll be fine.
  • Timer Clause: As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time.

These deadlines are confusing with so many last chance tournaments going on, most of these have been lasting a week except for this and ORAS.

Apologies to Fakee as we were due to play later today.

technically, GSC follows the same rule too. But yes, I agree it is a bit confusing, hence why I try to provide as many warnings I can through bold and colors.

Thank you, it admittedly happened twice unintentionally because Monotype, LC, National Dex amongst others have been a week and I was curious why these tours also don't have a week deadline.

I understand that this format prevents people from playing their games late and to encourage early matches.

You are far from being the only one in that case, as the number of coinflips hint it. This is something we should work on to clarify next year to ensure as many games as possible are played.
