GSC Swiss #1

SPECIFIC RULES
  • This is a standard GSC OU tournament
  • This tournament will be a Swiss tournament with a to be determined top cut size depending on signups.
    • Players will be automatically dropped when they hit three losses as they are no longer in contention for top cut.
    • Players will be assigned a random opponent out of the pool of players with the same record as you each round.
  • Rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown! (Main or SmogTours).
  • Replays are required from Round 2 onwards.
  • Extensions are now allowed from this round forward.
  • Activity calls will be made by me, potentially with neutral assistance from a Tournament Director. Coin flips will be done publicly on PS!
  • In the event that something is added to or removed from the GSC OU metagame in the middle of a round, that change will be in effect starting the next round.
  • Do not cheat. Cheating will result in a disqualification. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary. Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
    • Signing up with more than one account
    • Ghosting or being ghosted by another player (e.g. while playing a set, asking for advice about what plays to make)
    • Manipulating match outcomes (e.g. throwing a match in exchange for Smogon likes)
  • Do not harass or insult your opponents. I reserve the right to disqualify anyone breaking this rule. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary.

Top Cut was determined as follows: 20 players had a record of 4-2 or better at the end of Round 6, while the top cut size is 16. 4 players would then be eliminated; 6-0 and 5-1 players are automatically in top cut by virtue of their record. From the remaining 14 4-2 players, only 10 will advance. Resistance was used to determine both which players advance and seeding in top cut. You can see the resistance sheet for yourself here.
