Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Welcome to Round 1 of the first annual Gen 7 Open! This tournament is your chance to showcase your skills in Gen 7 Random Battle, in a single elimination best-of-3 series (best-of-5, quarterfinals onward).
This tournament is part of our ongoing Rands Slam circuit. Stay tuned after this tour for news about the next one!
The winner of the Gen 7 Open will receive the Room Prize Winner rank in the Random Battles room for a month, be inducted into the Randbats Hall of Fame, and be awarded points for the Rands Slam. The winner of the Slam Playoffs Round will get a Smogon banner for a full year, along with a month-long Room Prize Winner rank and joinphrase.
How does this tour work?
It’s simple: 1. Contact your opponent on their Smogon wall and decide on a time to battle.
2. Battle each other in the format “[Gen 7] Random Battle”.
3. The first player to 2 wins advances to the next round.
Please note:
1. All scheduling attempts MUST be done publicly on Smogon Walls. No other proof of communication will count for act calls regarding scheduling attempts.
2. You MUST post replays of your wins.
We strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with the Smogon Tournament Rules and General Guidelines, if you haven’t already. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to contact the tour hosts, Syrinix or myself here on Smogon.
We will be taking subs until Friday April 22nd, 12 PM GMT-7. If you want to sign up as a sub, just comment down below saying “in as a sub”. Not responding to your opponent by this time will risk you being subbed as well.
