*****
We received 74 total signups for BW Cup. By Smogon tournament convention, to make an even bracket of 64 players, 10 players will be relegated to substitutes and will be subbed in should activity concerns arise early in the first round. The first 5/8 of 64 are locked in and cannot be made substitutes (64*5/8 = 40), which means the remaining 3/8 (64 * 3/8 = 24) slots will be determined via lottery from the remaining signups, with ten players relegated as substitutes. Choices were randomly generated on Pokemon Showdown:

Therefore, players Human, Far too complex, MXF, Amaranth, xXCloutGod42069, blueebee, Sagdiyev V2, Hys, SingleThunder, and Decem as the 42nd, 53rd, 57th, 62th, 60th, 66th, 41st, 50th, 49th, and 47th players to sign up, respectively, will be held as substitutes for the first round. If you did not sign up initially but also wish to play, you may have a chance to do so by posting in as sub in this thread, where priority to substitutes will be given on a first come, first served basis.
Current priority for subs:
DONE
**IMPORTANT**
To maximize the number of completed matches, in round one only, I will be checking for activity to determine substitutes on Thursday, June 3rd by 11:59 PM Eastern time (GMT-4). Please schedule publicly so I can verify if contact has been established. If you have not established scheduling by that time, or you have scheduled privately (e.g. via Discord or Smogon PM) and not mentioned it to me or on either player's wall, you risk being subbed out by a player waiting to play.
