How does the tour work?
It’s simple: 1. Contact your opponent on their Smogon wall and decide on a time to battle.
2. If you cannot mutually decide which format to play first, use “!pick gen1, gen2, gen3” to decide.
3. Battle each other in the decided format. Loser picks the format in the next game, with NO REPEATS.
4. The first player to 2 wins advances to the next round.
Please note:
1. All scheduling attempts MUST be done publicly on Smogon Walls. No other proof of communication will count for act calls regarding scheduling attempts.
2. You MUST post replays of your wins.
We strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with the Smogon Tournament Rules and General Guidelines, if you haven’t already. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to contact the tour hosts (Javi and Mathy ) here on Smogon.
When spectating Rands Slam battles, do not ghost. Ask yourself, “Would my comment reveal information that hasn’t already been explicitly revealed in this battle?” Examples of ghosting include commenting on how an unexpectedly fast Pokemon must be holding a Choice Scarf, speculating that the match will be decided by a tera coinflip, etc.
