It is of no consequence to be the best. Being the best is a meaningless status. Instead, it is of consequence to put forth the effort towards being the best - to strive toward an unreachable goal is more noble than to attain it.
This tournament is being co-hosted from this point forward by a large portion of the TD Team working in conjunction. Feel free to use me (teal6) as the primary resource for questions, but any and all answers from ABR, Luigi or TDK are considered equally as valid in the case that I am unreachable.
OST Specific Rules
Standard Rules and Clauses
- This is a standard USM OU tournament.
- The tournament will be single elimination.
- Players will play a best of three series of games each round
- Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!. If you can't agree on which server to play on, the Smogtours server is the default option.
- Liking this post increases the accuracy of your Hydro Pumps.
Standard Rules and Clauses
- Sleep Clause: A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokémon.
- Species Clause: A player cannot have two of the same Pokémon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffing on his or her team.
- Evasion Clause: A player cannot use the moves Double Team or Minimize in their Pokémon's movesets.
- OHKO Clause: Players cannot use Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, or Fissure in any of their Pokémon's movesets.
- Team Preview: Players must turn on the Team Preview feature where players can view the opposing team's Pokémon and choose their lead Pokémon.
- Timer Clause: If a player exhausts the timer, he/she loses.
- Endless Battle Clause: Any moveset on any Pokémon that is capable of intentionally causing an endless battle is banned from competitive play. Check this thread for more information.
- Baton Pass Clause: The move Baton Pass is banned outright.
- Uber Clause: Players may not use any items, moves, abilities, or Pokemon that appear on Smogon's OU Ban List. If the tiers change or new items, abilities, moves, or Pokemon become available in the middle of a round, the changes will take effect in the following round. There will be an announcement in the relevant round if this occurs.
Activity Decisions / Coin Flips: In the event that there is an uncompleted match at the deadline, it will be coin flipped unless one or both of the players involved in the match specifically request an activity win and explain sufficiently why they deserve to win over their opponent. Attempting to schedule a battle is required in order to receive the win by activity. To make it clear that you are requesting an activity win when you post, you must open your post with "Activity Win Request" in bold.
For example, if you believe your opponent is making an unfair request and that they don't deserve the activity win over you, you can either make your own request or quote their post and explain why they don't deserve it. You should try to make your activity win request posts at least 24 hours before the deadline to give your opponent a reasonable opportunity to contest it with their own activity win request.
In case of disconnections, you may submit your teams in a Private Message to me (Tony) on Smogon before your games are played. If a disconnect happens and teams were submitted, post the replay in the thread and the circumstances that surrounded the disconnection, and I will be able to give you a call on how we proceed.

RE: ACTIVITY WINS AND SCHEDULING - I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO COINFLIP ANY GAME WITHOUT PROPER SCHEDULING PROTOCOL FOLLOWED. TO THAT END, YOU MUST CONTACT YOUR OPPONENT AND PROVIDE TO THEM SEVERAL TIMEFRAMES IN WHICH YOU CAN PLAY, WHILE NOTING YOUR TIMEZONE. I WILL NOT ENTERTAIN ANY ACTIVITY REQUEST THAT DOES NOT DO THIS IN SMOGON VMS - DISCORD DOES NOT COUNT.
