Format
Single Elimination: play a first-to-3 wins (best of 5 wins) match in all gen OU tiers (RBY OU, GSC OU, ADV OU, DPP OU, BW OU, ORAS OU, SM OU) with the higher seed picking 1st, 3rd and 5th unique tiers, and the lower seed picking 2nd and 4th unique tiers.
Regarding Deadlines
Deadlines won't be very strict and extensions will be given if both players are actually showing attempts to schedule and get the games done. Contacting immediately is recommended though. Playing matches from later rounds is welcomed.
Regarding Ties
In case both last pokemon are knocked out in one turn, the game will be counted as a tie in RBY, GSC, ADV and DPP and has to be replayed (players can opt to use different teams). If that happens in BW, ORAS, or SM, the winner will be determined by whatever pokemon showdown says ('Player X won the battle!'). We are following how double knockouts are handled on cartridge games.
Regarding Replays
Replays of all battles from every round are required to be uploaded. The links must be provided in a reply to this thread by the winner of each match.
