Administrative decisions regarding this year's Grand Slam will go in this thread. For now you'll have to do with this cute gif though.
Because Gastrodon, Gliscor and Serperior are moving to OU even though they're still allowed in round 2 of the UU Open, we ask of you to play your round 2 games in the Gen 7 OU format in order to still be able to use the aforementioned Pokemon.
With the new rounds of UU, RU and NU Open going up a week after the respective tier leaders and councils had a chance to look into quick bans for their tiers, you no longer have to challenge your opponents in the Gen 7 OU format for UU, RU and NU Open. From round 2 of NU and RU Open and round 3 of UU Open onward your games can and must be played in their usual formats.I forgot to mention this last night, but the RU Open and NU Open games should also be played in the Gen 7 OU format due to Gastrodon rising all the way up to OU.
In a surprise to absolutely no one...In this specific case, there has also been a conversation going on among staff/admins since the moment the decision was announced regarding whether we should also forum ban the users in question (spoiler alert: almost certainly yes)
