Welcome to the first RBY Monotype Open! This is a Type C tournament as part of the Monotype OM Circuit. This circuit will not be for an official trophy or banner, but even better, the winner of the circuit will gain a custom rank for a year in the live Monotype OM Room, alongside a Discord role signifying their honorable win. (This can be an emoji like a Snowman or etc) At the end of the year, a seeded playoff will be held, consisting of the top 16 players with the most points. The winner of the playoffs will be crowned the overall best player of the year. The rank in Monotype OM PS! room will last for a year (in conjunction with PS! Rules).

RBY Monotype is a metagame originally founded by the Ruins of Alph community a few years ago that goes off the basic Gen 1 Overused Pokemon + Same Type Clause (A fancy ruling that just means Monotype). The tier starts off with Psychic, Water, and Flying being the mainstream types alongside with primarily types with either partial-trapping moves like Bind, Fire Spin, and Wrap validating its viability such as Fire, Rock, and Poison.
