RANDOM TIER TOURNAMENT
lol so random xd
THIS TOUR'S RULES:
- Single Elimination
- Players play a Bo3 every round in three randomly selected tiers.
- the three tiers chosen will vary each round and be announced at the beginning of that round.
--> Game 1 will be in SS [Random Tier]
--> Game 2 will be in [Random Gen] OU
--> Game 3 will be in [Random Gen] [Random Tier] (within tiers that are widely played and thus have established metas/resources)
------> all 3 games will be in a different tier, and i will re-generate it each time.
(to be clear, [random gen] and [random tour] are randomly chosen and announced by me, the host, before the start of each round)
plenty of sample teams / resources will be linked, so do not worry if you don't have teams for all of these tiers!
most people won't, and this tour should ideally be a fun opportunity to learn and play new tiers.
Signups will close on Saturday, May 30th at 11:59 PM GMT-4. Round 1 will be posted on Sunday.

Identity
About playing on alts: It is entirely allowed to play on an alt other than your own main forum name, though if your opponent wishes to confirm your identity, you must log on to your main alt to show them you are who you claim to be. This is to prevent people from pretending to be who they're not.
About playing on different servers: Tournament matches must be played on the Smogtoursserver. The Main PS! serveris also acceptable if both parties agree to that. Other servers are not sanctioned by the TD team and playing in them might result in your game not counting. Protect yourself from that by playing in Smogtours, where we also have the power to recreate games that end due to DC's.
Scouting
On scouting opponents: Going through your opponents replays of tournament and ladder games is entirely allowed, as long as a game is public there is nothing preventing you from watching it. An exception to this is abusing powers granted to you by being staff on Smogon or PS! to gain access to information a normal user wouldn't have access to, which is strictly forbidden.
On leaking teams: Divulging private information about someone's planned team to their opponent is never allowed, and will be heavily sanctioned. Requesting that such information be divulged is also grounds for punishment. Keep your scouting to publicly available information and you'll be fine.
Timer Clause / Disconnections
On the Timer: The timer must stay on throughout the whole battle..
On Timeout losses: A player that loses by having all his time run out loses the game. This is only not the case if the player that received the timeout loss can be verified to have suffered a True Disconnection. Rematches are only allowed if there was a True Disconnection.
On True Disconnection: The TD team has a secret threshold of seconds that your timer must be at or above, from the moment you disconnect, for a timeout loss to be considered a True disconnection. If your game is determined to be a true disconnection if you played on Smogtours and contacted a TD before the room expired your game will be recreated up to the point the disconnect happened. It is the responsibility of the player that disconnected to get a TD into the room before it expires.
