Welcome to the ORAS Monotype Cup of the fourth Monotype Cup! Whether you're a veteran with something to prove or a newbie looking for your breakout, I wish you the best of luck competing in this Bo3 single elimination tournament!
​
Standard Rules and Clauses
  • Baton Pass Clause: Baton pass is banned
  • Same Type Clause: Pokémon in a team must share a type.
  • Sleep Clause Mod: Limit one foe put to sleep
  • Species Clause: Limit one of each Pokémon
  • OHKO Clause: OHKO moves are banned
  • Moody Clause: Moody is banned
  • Evasion Moves Clause: Evasion moves are banned
  • Endless Battle Clause: Forcing endless battles is banned
  • HP Percentage Mod: HP is shown in percentages
  1. Identity: I expect many battles to be completed under alts. This can be bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.
  2. Scouting: Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any blatant scouting. There is a difference between "[user] is known for using Fire-type" and "let me follow [user] around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter. I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. Everyone will have access to your replays from earlier rounds though.
  3. Timer Clause: As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time.
  4. Disconnections: Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't do it.
That aside, feel free to get back to me in the Monotype discord server if you still have any questions regarding this tournament (or the Monotype Cup in general) after reading this post!

This tournament will award points towards qualifying for Monotype Cup playoffs.

I'm looking forward to a great tournament, good luck everyone!

Удивительное искусство от Swiffix

Добро пожаловать на ORAS Monotype Cup четвертого Monotype Cup ! Независимо от того, являетесь ли вы ветераном, которому есть что доказывать, или новичком, ищущим свой прорыв, я желаю вам удачи в этом турнире Bo3 single-elimination!
​
Стандартные правила и положения
  • Пункт о передаче эстафетной палочки: передача эстафетной палочки запрещена
  • Условие об одном типе: покемоны в команде должны быть одного типа.
  • Модификация «Сон»: ограничение на сон одного врага
  • Пункт о видах: ограничение на одного покемона каждого вида
  • Пункт OHKO: приемы OHKO запрещены
  • Пункт о Муди: Муди запрещён
  • Пункт о маневрах уклонения: маневры уклонения запрещены
  • Пункт о бесконечных сражениях: Принуждение к бесконечным сражениям запрещено.
  • HP Percentage Mod: HP отображается в процентах.
[Спойлер=Общие правила турнира]
  1. Личность: Я ожидаю, что многие битвы будут завершены под альтами. Это может быть плохо для безопасности турнира, поэтому я ясно заявляю: если я услышу какие-либо слухи о краже личности (сражаться как тот, кем ты не являешься) или прокси-битве (помочь кому-то другому сражаться через личные сообщения), я буду недоволен и приму суровые меры.
  2. Разведка: Далее, я вообще ничего не хочу слышать о контркоманде. Не жалуйтесь на это. Я также не хочу слышать о какой-либо явной разведке. Есть разница между «[пользователь] известен тем, что использует огненный тип» и «позвольте мне следовать за [пользователем] весь день, чтобы смотреть все его битвы, поскольку я его противник». Я ожидаю многого от первого и ничего от второго. Я разрешаю всем бойцам просить любого человека, наблюдающего за их битвой, уйти, если они не хотят, чтобы они смотрели. Однако у всех будет доступ к вашим повторам с более ранних раундов.
  3. Пункт о таймере: Что касается длительных пауз между ходами, если ваш противник просит вас поторопиться, пожалуйста, сделайте это. Если вы делаете расчет урона для ключевого хода, это одно, но затягивание каждого хода подозрительно и раздражает. Не делайте этого. Более того, Battle Timeout — это правило не просто так. Если у вас заканчивается время, вы проигрываете, вот и все. Неважно, что говорит ваш противник. Не сражайтесь, если вы думаете, что вам придется уйти посреди боя, и вместо этого перенесите его на более подходящее время.
  4. Отключения: Наконец, в случае отключения решение принимает игрок, который не отключился. Возможны следующие варианты: переиграть битву ход за ходом, переиграть битву с теми же командами, но разными ходами, или переиграть битву с совершенно другими командами. Если битва была без сомнений окончена, они также могут забрать победу. Любое подозрение, что отключение было совершено намеренно, чтобы переиграть матч, может быть обжаловано мной, и если я считаю, что это произошло, будут серьезные последствия, не делайте этого.
[/Спойлер]
Кроме того, если после прочтения этого поста у вас останутся какие-либо вопросы относительно этого турнира (или кубка Monotype в целом), не стесняйтесь обращаться ко мне на Discord-сервер Monotype !

В этом турнире будут начисляться очки, необходимые для выхода в плей-офф Кубка Монотипа.

Я с нетерпением жду отличного турнира, удачи всем!
