General Tournament Rules

ORASLT Rules

• This is a standard ORAS OU tournament
• This will be a Ladder Tournament into Single Elimination, Best of Three, Top 16 Playoffs
• You need to make a new alt account for this tournament. Your alt name must begin with a given Prefix which will be released and explained with the start of the tournament.
• WILL NOT NEED TO MAKE NEW ACCOUNT EACH WEEK. YOU CAN USE THE SAME ACCOUNT YOU USED THE PREVIOUS WEEK/CYCLE
• The ladder portion of the tournament spans 4 cycles lasting roughly 7 days each. The cutoff times for each cycle are listed below; at the cutoff time, one of the moderators will take a screenshot of the ladder. In order to qualify for the playoffs, your alt must be among the top 4 newly made alts in thr screenshot. If a player in the top 4 of a given cycle is already qualified, their alt will be ignored when counting the top 4 alts for that cycle. Cycles will have adjusted end times to give players from different regions and timezones a better chance at being on at the end of the cycle.
  • In order to break potential ties, the unrounded ELO of each player who qualifies in a given cycle will be recorded in order to break any potential ties. Your unrounded ELO can be found by using the following URL: https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/~~showdown/action.php?act=ladderget&user=[your username here]
  • For the playoffs stage, players will be seeded by their ELO at their respective screenshot time
