Welcome to the first edition of the BW SU Open! BW SU is an unofficial usage-based tier below BW ZU, previously being hosted primarily through the SU Discord, which is now available on Smogon. We're looking forward to getting more people involved in BW SU through forum tours like this one to explore even more of the developing metagame.

Rules
Bringing anything not legal in BW SU will result in a forfeit of the match, so make sure to either use the challenge code or triple check the banlist.
Battles are played in a best of three series, and the tournament itself is a double elimination bracket.
Battles should take place on the Smogtours or the Pokemon Showdown servers only. Do not submit games from other servers.
Standard battle clauses apply.
Replays are mandatory.
