>>>STANDINGS SHEET COMING SOON<<<​

Welcome back to Smogon Grand Slam! The UU, RU, NU, PU, Ubers, and LC Opens will begin shortly, commencing the competition for the coveted turquoise Trophy (

) and a lifetime of mainer jokes. Furthermore, the winner will also receive the choice of a custom avatar, a username color change, or claiming an inactive PS! username, courtesy of the PS! Admin team.

The format starts with the regular season, which consists of six separate tournaments: The UU Open, The RU Open, The NU Open, The PU Open, The Ubers Open and the LC Open. You can join all six if you wish, but your top five performances only will be counted towards playoffs! This edition will now have a Best Finish Limit of 5 compared to the previous BFL of 3. The point system for the opens is the same as the one used in Smogon Tour, Smogon Classic and previous years of Smogon Grand Slam (see this for further explanation). When all the Opens have been finished, the sixteen players with the most points will qualify for playoffs, where the battlers will duke it out in a single elimination bracket until there is one Grand Slam XIV champion.

Signups for each Open will be posted after the first round of the previous Open is completed. Here is the list of the six Opens and the dates each signups will be posted:
  • The LC Open XIV - Hosted by Merritt - April 14th
  • The UU Open XIV - Hosted by Maia - April 14th
  • The RU Open XIV - Hosted by UT - April 21st
  • The NU Open XIV - Hosted by goldmason - April 28th
  • The Ubers Open XI - Hosted by Vertigo - April 28th
  • The PU Open VIII - Hosted by ken - May 5th

If a tier shift happens to occur during a round, it will not be taken into account until the following round. The same goes for Pokemon Home, and we will be sure to use the best judgement possible when this inevitably comes up. Be sure to join the Smogon Tournaments Discord server if you have any questions or wish to ask a host about a decision. More information on the tournament, standings spreadsheet, and any other logistics will be edited here and posted about in the near future -- stay tuned!

This year, the winner of Grand Slam XIV will receive $100 and the runner-up will receive $50, courtesy of chaos!
