Any Pokémon you draft can Tera, but Tera Preview is enforced.
- Drafting will take place in the DOU Discord, so joining it is required for participation!
- You have up to 95 points with which to draft 8 Pokémon. Costs are listed on your pool’s tab on the drafting spreadsheet.
- Drafting will take place in pools of 8 with players nearest to a centralized pool timezone for convenience.
- You do not have to spend all of your points but you are required to fill all 8 slots on your team to have a valid draft
- If a Pokémon is picked by someone else, you may not pick it.
- For the first round, there is a 12 hour timer. After the first round ends, there will be a 6 hour timer within which you must pick, or you will be skipped, and will be required to make-up your pick when you are next online. All timers are off between 10pm-7am local time (check your pool's pinned message for local time).
- Your timer will halve every time you are skipped. It is recommended to leave picks (with backups) with your pool moderator to avoid this.
- The following Pokémon have access to all of their forms (although you may only bring up to 1 to each battle):
- - Pikachu
- - Basculin
- - Oricorio
- - Basculegion
- Smogon's Species Clause applies to your draft.
- For 2 days at the end of the Swiss phase of the tournament players may make trades on their draft board for any undrafted Pokémon in their pool. There will be no timers during this period so players may trade freely.
- Two players in agreement may directly trade two Pokémon on their rosters if both notify their pool mod. Players that are eliminated cannot trade their Pokémon and should have their Pokémon considered to be removed from the pool.
- in order to ensure that we have an even split of pools, the first 62.5% of competitors that signup are guaranteed entry, while the remaining 37.5% are randomly chosen from the remaining player pool.
- All games must be played in the 6v6 Doubles Draft with Tera Type Preview on either smogtours.psim.us or psim.us.
- All sets are best-of-one, though players may complete to a best-of-three if both parties accept.
- The following rules and clauses are in place
- Endless Battle Clause: Players cannot use any moveset on any Pokémon capable of intentionally causing an endless battle. Thus:
- A Pokémon may not carry Recycle and hold a Leppa Berry in conjunction with Heal Pulse and Milk Drink, Moonlight, Morning Sun, Recover, Roost, Slack Off, Soft-Boiled, or Wish.
- A Pokémon may not hold a Leppa Berry while carrying Recycle and Pain Split.
- A Pokémon may not hold a Leppa Berry while carrying Recycle and Fling
- Evasion Clause: Players cannot use the moves Double Team or Minimize.
- OHKO Clause: Players cannot use the moves Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, or Sheer Cold.
- Species Clause: Players cannot have two Pokémon with the same Pokédex number on the same team.
- Gravity Sleep Clause: Sleep moves with below one hundred percent accuracy may not be used in conjunction with Gravity.
- Dark Void and Last Respects are banned.
- Endless Battle Clause: Players cannot use any moveset on any Pokémon capable of intentionally causing an endless battle. Thus:
- You can only use Pokémon you drafted, if it wasn't clear.
- This is a standard SV Doubles Draft tournament with a 1 week drafting period
- This tournament will be Swiss format for as many rounds as required, followed by a top cut single elimination tournament.
- All players that finish the Swiss X-2 or better will qualify for the top cut, number of rounds will be determined by the amount of player signups. No players will be eliminated before the end of the Swiss Rounds
- Between Swiss and Single Elimination phases players will have a 2 day grace period to make trades on their draft boards. Trades will take effect on the first round of single elimination and remain for the duration of the tournament. A maximum of 5 Pokémon may be replaced.
- Matches are to be played on Pokémon Showdown! (Main or SmogTours)
- To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, replays are required for all matches.
- Activity calls will be made by LogIce, potentially with neutral assistance from a Doubles OU Forum Moderator. Coin flips 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 (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.
