OP stolen from Grand Slam, but it's not a slam tournament
Welcome to inaugural National Dex Doubles Ubers Tournament! We're back with a new ND Doubles meta - this time with *all* the brokens!

As part of the National Dex Other Tiers Spotlight Ladder of the Month project, this tier has a ladder and challenge format for the month of September, and we've decided to host a tour to go alongside it. When September ends, a challenge code will be used for the remainder of the tournament.

Tournament Rules:
  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
  • Standard National Dex Doubles Ubers.
  • Best-of-three, single elimination. Players may change teams in between battles of the same round.
  • Battles should take place on the Smogtours server or the main PS! server if both players agree.
  • SV cartridge win conditions are in place; there are no ties.
  • Replays are mandatory.
  • Activity calls will be made by me, with possible assistance from the NatDex council & tournament directors. Coin flips will be done publicly on PS!
  • In the event something gets banned in the middle of a round, that change will be in effect the next round.
Battle Clauses:
  • Evasion Moves Clause
  • OHKO Clause
  • Species Clause
  • Team Preview
Identity

About playing on alts: It is entirely allowed to play on an alt other than your own main forum name, though if your opponent wishes to confirm your identity, you must log on to your main alt to show them you are who you claim to be. This is to prevent people from pretending to be who they're not.

About playing on different servers: Tournament matches should be played on the SmogTours server. The Main PS! server is also acceptable if both parties agree to that. Other servers are not sanctioned by the TD team and playing in them will result in your game not counting. Protect yourself from that by playing in SmogTours, where we also have the power to recreate games that end due to disconnections.

Scouting

On scouting opponents: Going through your opponents replays of tournament and ladder games is entirely allowed, as long as a game is public there is nothing preventing you from watching it. An exception to this is abusing powers granted to you by being staff on Smogon or PS! to gain access to information a normal user wouldn't have access to, which is strictly forbidden.

On leaking teams: Divulging private information about someone's planned team to their opponent is never allowed, and will be heavily sanctioned. Requesting that such information be divulged is also grounds for punishment. Keep your scouting to publicly available information and you'll be fine.

Timer Clause / Disconnections

On Timeout losses: A player that loses by having all his time run out loses the game. This is only not the case if the player that received the timeout loss can be verified to have suffered a True Disconnection. Rematches in such cases are not allowed.
