pleasure being your host
- First of all this is a standard ORAS Doubles OU tournament
- Understand that this tournament will be Double Elimination
- Correct played sets will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
- Keep track of replays: Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown with all games being recorded!
- Something to remember: If neither player posts replays of the match, both players will suffer an automatic game loss. (If you were in losers' when you played, you are both out. If you were in winners', the winner is in losers' and the loser is out.) All replays for the round are in the OP for ease of access for anyone looking to scout future opponents or take usage stats.
- Most peope will not try this but if you are found signing up under more than one alt, you will be permanently banned from circuit events.
- On missed matches: Activity calls will be made by me (or someone I trust) with probably the neutral assistance from a TD, flips will be made on PS using !pick for transparency.
- Guys just remember that in the event that something is added to or removed from the Doubles OU metagame in the middle of a round, that change will be in effect starting the next round. Doubles Ubers is available as a challenge option if something is banned mid-round. If the banlist changes right near the end of the tour, I reserve the right to keep the old banlist for the remaining duration of the tour.
- Official tours, such as this one have stricter rules regarding behaviour, so don't be a dick. If I found out you harassed your opponent, or were overly obnoxious or rude, I would have literally 0 problems banning you from future events.
- No matter what happens, try your best and have fun.
- Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on his team.
- Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned. (No other evasion boosting things are banned).
- OHKO Clause: The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, and Fissure are banned.
- Endless Battle Clause: Anything capable of intentionally creating an endless battle is banned.
- HypnoGravity Clause: The move Gravity is banned with all moves that can induce Sleep. I am not 100% sure if this is fully implemented on Pokemon Showdown!, so if it is not and you are found to be using it you will be disqualified and banned from future Circuit events.
- Uber Clause: Anything that appears on Doubles OU banlist is banned. This is the banlist for Doubles OU:
- Mewtwo
- Lugia
- Ho-oh
- Kyogre
- Groudon
- Rayquaza
- Dialga
- Palkia
- Giratina
- Giratina-O
- Arceus
- Reshiram
- Zekrom
- Kyurem-White
- Xerneas
- Yveltal
- Shaymin-Sky
- Mega Salamence
- Dark Void
- Swagger
^absolutely foolproof
Set 1: Braverius vs Mishimono
Set 2 (if needed): Braverius vs Mishimono
