Rules
This is a [Gen 9] Hackmons Cup tournament
Matches in the first rounds are Best-of-Three (first to two (2) wins), changing to Best-of-Five from quarterfinals onwards)
We strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with the Smogon Tournament Rules and General Guidelines
We recommend games are played on the main Pokemon Showdown server. Smogtours is allowed, but if players can’t agree on a server, main is the default option


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 win

Frequently Asked Questions

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 9] Hackmons Cup”. Make sure to upload your replays between games
3. The first player to 2 wins is the winner! Post in the thread with the replays of your games, and you’ll be awarded the win

Winning a round in this tournament means gaining points equal to your current number of wins (so your 1st win is worth 1 point, 2nd win is worth 2 points, etc). This means, for every round you win, the points will be as follows: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45

The winner of the Gen 9 Hackmons Cup 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 Random Battle Circuit V. The winner of the Playoff Round for the circuit will get a Smogon banner for a full year and their choice of either a custom avatar, a color change, or a disabled name on PS, along with a year-long Room Prize Winner rank.

(We decided to reset our game if one of us got the ZA megas - but we probably need some host decision for how to proceed since some people would rather not get spoiled and theyre not supposed to be in hackmons apparently)
 
Hacked won vs Ivar, ggs! This might have been the funniest series i ever done, for the most wrong reasons one could think of.

I can't believe it. I really defeated...FRAN'S ACCURSED JINXING!

Well, winning hackmons kinda feel like to have haxed hacked everyone for the entire tournament lol but it was such a FUN ride. I would never expect neither to reach the final stages nor to actually enjoy the process. Give a chance to Hackmons everyone, you won't regret it!(sometimes)

Shoutout to my Snom-friend Sylveesnom, who won't make it to playoffs because of me (family is...complicated). I dedicate this victory to you!
Also, shoutout to my goated teammate platinumCheesecake from team Zygarde: watching his games during RBTT made me think, “Hm, Hackmons seems more fun and strategic than I thought!” Definitely helped shape my mindset for the whole tournament!
Shoutout to Drifting as well. He played the series crazy well, but seems like Fran cursed him with the Shedinjas somehow.
Last but not least, shoutout to the hosts for hosting such a smooth tour!

Regardless of everything, winning my first tour feels great! And the fact that it's a Randbats one makes it so much more special to me.
As a new player in the circuit i'll do my best to keep up with this performance in playoffs and future randbats tours. I’ve tried multiple formats of competitive Pokémon but randbats will always be in my heart, also thanks to its amazing community ❤️
