Teams will be created via an auction on <t:1789830000:F>. Each team will have 100K points to spend on a minimum of 10 players (8 starters and 2 subs). Teams may self-buy neither, one, or both managers, and prices for doing so will be set by hosts on a team-by-team basis. Teams will nominate players in the order listed above.
General Rules
- General Smogon tournament rules and regulations apply.
- Ideally, matches will be scheduled in the Random Doubles Discord Server; however, you may also schedule using Smogon walls.
- Teams should be pinged in the Random Doubles Discord Server if a player fails to show up at a scheduled match time. Once that happens, a 30 minute timer starts, after which an act win will be awarded if the pinged team fails to find a suitable sub.
- Replays must be both saved and posted for every game played.
