Randbats Spotlight Tournament
Welcome to the ninth bimonthly Spotlight Tour! This iteration will feature the recently elected CAP Random Battle format. This tournament is your chance to showcase your skills in CAP Random Battle in a single elimination best-of-3 series.
What is CAP Random Battle?
Gen 9 random battle has been invaded by Smogon's own CAP pokemon! For this format, every team will generate with at least one CAP pokemon, with level and moveset adjusted to fit in the gen 9 metagame. In addition to the guaranteed one, every other team member has a 20% chance to be a CAP Pokemon as well.
You have no experience with CAP and want to know this world better? Here are useful resources that can help you with it:
1) EnCAPlopedia >>> https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/encaplopedia-the-complete-reference-index-for-create-a-pokémon.48782/
2) Git page with sets, abilities, items etc. >>> https://github.com/smogon/pokemon-s...c90b31109c4cc1e3a18e475ecf6c99d466c01042016b6
3) Type /randbats (name of the CAP pokemon) to see its role and sets
Prizes
The winner of the Spotlight Tournament will receive the Room Prize Winner rank in the Random Battles room for a month and the possibility to pick a format for the next Randbats Spotlight poll!
How does the 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 “CAP Random Battle”. This format can be found under 'Randomized Format Spotlight', at the top of the third column. Alternatively, use /challenge (gen 9) CAP Random Battle. You can also run the entire series and keep track of the results of each game with /challenge (gen 9) CAP Random Battle@@@bestof=3
3. The first player to 3 wins advances to the next round.
Note that this tournament will end before the next Randbats Spotlight Ladder commences, i.e., before September 2024. This will determine the pace of the tournament. For this reason, extensions will generally NOT be granted.
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, Celever, adorluigi and 35Q71N here on Smogon.
How do I sign up?
Just post “in”!
Disclaimer: it's possible that if the current signups slightly exceed the number required to have a perfect bracket and we are not far from the deadline, the players in excess will become subs. We strongly advise to post your signup quickly if you are interested to play in this tournament.
DEADLINE is Sunday 7th at 11:59 GMT+-0
