Try to schedule on smogon to make it easier on the hosts (myself,
frostyicelad &
Irpachuza)
How does this tour work?
Matches will be best of three except for semis and finals which will be best of five. This is how the three formats for the best of three will be chosen (in a helpful step by step guide):
1. Contact your opponent on Smogon and each of you lock one format. The player on the left of the matchup will pick first to make things easier, so if it says Irpachuza vs Rage, Irpa will pick first. Example: Irpachuza locks gen7BF, and Rage locks gen7BSSF.
2. Each player then bans one tier. Example: Rage bans Hackmons Cup, and Irpachuza then bans Lets Go Random battle.
3. The remaining tier (Monotype Random Battle) will be played as the third format.
4. Battle each other. The format not chosen by either player is played first (i.e Monotype Rands in the above mentioned example), and the loser of g1 picks the second tier played.
Note: Whoever locks first bans second. So if A locks Battle Factory, and B locks Let's Go, the next step is for B to ban a tier, and then A will ban a tier. That way the same person doesn't lock/ban first both times.
