2024 Edition of OU Room Live Tours!
OU Room Live Tours is an event organized by the OverUsed PS! room where you can participate in scheduled SV OU Room Tournaments, earning points to qualify for playoffs season, with the winner of playoffs earning a custom avatar Prize!
The event will be composed of two phases. The first phase will be a 4-week period of room tours during which players will try to gather as much points as possible to qualify for the playoffs phase. The 16 best players of the first phase will then be able to participate in the second phase a 4-week playoffs season, and compete to win the whole Tournament!
Room Tours Phase
Each week, 4 SV OU room tours will be organized in the PS! OverUsed room. These tournaments will follow a predefined schedule given below. Only the tours scheduled here will count for this event and the leaderboard will be held here (it is not the leaderboard shown in the room). Scouting will be allowed during these room tours. Note that in the case where a game exceeds 200 turns, staff members will be able to either disqualify a player if there’s a clear winner or to randomly select the winner to avoid delaying the whole tour.
The way points are awarded is as follow: winning a room tour will give you 5 points, second place will give 3 points, third and fourth place (ended at semi-finals) will get 2 points, and fifth to eighth (ended at quarter-finals) will get 1 point. You can only win points from ONE out of the four tours each week. For example, if you reach top eight in all four tournaments in the week, you'll only gain points your best performing tournament.

The playoffs phase
After 4 weeks of room tours, the 16 players with the most points will qualify for the playoffs phase. The playoffs phase will consist of four rounds (each round will last for one week) where people will get paired up with each other and will play in a SV OU BO3. In the first round, each player will be seeded depending on their points, (EX: The highest point player with be seed #1) and the highest seeded players will face the lowest ones (EX: seed 1 face seed 16).
Once Round 1 is done, the remaining 8 winning players will thus move to round 2. Then the 4 players who won round 2 will move to round 3, and the 2 players who won round 3 will move to the finals and play in a Gen9 OU BO5 to win the entire tournament as well as the custom avatar prize.
The playoffs will be hosted on this thread.
At the end of the first phase, I’ll make a new post pinging the qualified players and giving them their pairings. They will then have a week to schedule and play their BO3 with their opponent (when you have a clear schedule, give it in advance to a staff member). The games will have to be linked in the Pokemon Showdown! OU room, and the replays will have to be posted in this thread.
Other information
You will need to have a Smogon account to take part to the playoffs phase, and we will ask you your Smogon account when you earn points for the first time in a room tour. If you don’t have one, you can still create one during the cycle, as there will be no restriction in term of date of creation of your account or number of messages.
Users banned from Smogon or blacklisted from the OverUsed room on PS! are not eligible to participate.
If there is a tie in the leaderboard, players with the same number of points will be ranked according to who had the best individual placement throughout the entire Tournament, the most amount of times. For example if two players tie at 5 points, with one player winning a Tournament and the other player getting 2nd as their best placement, then the one who won the Tournament will be ranked higher. If there’s still a tie with an impact on who qualify to the playoff, an additional BO3 (or several BO3 in case there’s more than two people) will be played at the beginning of the playoffs phase. If there's too many ties, we will use one more week to make sure all ties are solved before launching the playoffs phase.
I hope you will enjoy this event! If you have any questions feel free to contact me on Smogon, PS! (skymin3), Discord (shayminsky), or reach out to any other OU room staff (Room % or above).
Many thanks to all the OU room staffs who helped organizing this event and who will be hosting the different tours! (also thanks to Setsustsna who I copied this from:))
