How this works

The tournament will be in weeks format where the teams will be split into 2 groups with each team having a weekly roster and must complete a set of matches versus their assigned opponents (region) by the end of the week. Failure to complete a match may result in the opposing team being given the win if evidence shows that the missed match was the result of your team. In the event that both teams made an earnest effort (as shown through Smogon profile posts) and a match never occurred (including substitutes) then the winner of these matches will be rolled on Pokemon Showdown. Note that this schedule is subject to tiebreakers (explained below). All standard Smogon tournament rules and procedures apply.


Regions
In order for a region to be able to participate in Other Metagame World Cup it has to be able to run a full team meaning 8 players, 4 subs. This year there will be no mergers, either there are enough team members to man a team, whether that be a specific region or a Rest of the World team or those wishing to participate will sadly have to sit out.

Alt Accounts
Players are expected to play matches on an alt on PS! or smogtours that matches their Smogon username or comes as close to matching as possible.

Team Roles
There will be Discord Team Roles this year to help with team coordination, substitutions and so forth, please join the discord when possible!

Recommendation
It is ideal to play on the official SmogTour server instead of the regular, however, games are allowed to be played on the normal server at the risk of both players.

Tiebreaker

In the event of two teams being tied for a spot in the playoffs based on points and win differential, or a tie in the playoffs/final itself, we will have a tiebreaker round. One metagame (including bo3) will be picked by each manager, and each manager will also pick two metagames to strike. Additionally, each manager will submit a backup meta to strike in case their choice is the same as the opposing team's pick. The third format will be determined at random by the hosts from the remaining unpicked, unstruck metagames. In the event that the picks and strikes from each manager are the same, the hosts will determine both the second and third format at random based on the remaining options. All three metagames must be unique, so no format can be picked twice.

Substitutes

Substitutes are allowed in this tournament. A player that has been subbed out during a week may not be subbed into any other slot. Multiple substitutions may occur in the same slot. Substitutions will be not be allowed in tiebreak series unless the hosts mandate it. However, since we prioritize games being played, we will consider extension requests so long as they're reasonable. We will also be reluctant to give activity wins to those who are clearly fishing for them.

Replays

Replays are required. If replays are not provided, the match will need to be replayed or will be considered a dead game.

The tier lineup is as follows:

SV Almost Any Ability
SV Balanced Hackmons
SV Godly Gift
SV Inheritance
SV Mix and Mega
SV Partners in Crime
SV STABmons
Best of 3 Slot: SV Almost Any Ability / SV Balanced Hackmons / SV STABmons

All games will be played on the Pokemon Showdown main server or SmogTours in the most current version of the format corresponding to those listed above. The result between players is decided by best of one outside of the best of three slot.

Best of Three Slot ~ Managers Vote Results

A survey was given to the managers of the regional teams with it asking them to vote on their favoured three, these are the results. (I know I missed Inheritance in the survey... if people make enough of a complaint about it to me I will repoll it... please don't make me repoll it ;-;)

As can be seen, it clearly favoured AAA (which everyone knew would remain) and as a result AAA is still slot 1.

A little less clear cut, but still, ultimately BH is replaced by MnM for this Bo3!

Basically a mirror of the second one but for STAB, meaning it remains in slot 3.

Also... in case somehow I messed up (I messed up anyways) I included an open repsonse section asking for their preferred 3.

OMWC VII's Best of Three will be Almost Any Ability, Mix and Mega, and STABmons!

Currently we are waiting on the final game which has been given a day extension (will be played later today) due to a tiebreaker being possible between APAC and USW. If a tiebreaker occurs playoffs will begin next week.

Currently those qualified for playoffs are:

ROW
Europe
France
