This tournament will be a simple 3-person team tournament with each team having one US/UM RU, one ORAS RU and one BW2 RU slot, turning each round into a best-of-three match-up with three different players each playing one game per round. You can sign up as a team with two of your friends, but signing up as a free agent is also possible. If you are looking to add someone as a free agent I will attempt to keep that list as updated as possible for less worries all around. However, I will not be making any teams myself out of the list of free agents, this is completely up to the players. If you are signing up as a free agent, be sure to specify what tiers you are interested in playing in order to facilitate the whole process.
When signing up as a team, please specify your team name and which players will be slotted into each tier for Round 1. As we will progress in the tournament, you will have the opportunity – in no way this is obligatory - between rounds to change which player plays which metagame, provided that everyone on your team is slotted in a specific metagame. Simply have the team captain – the person responsible for the signup – confirm that to me via PM or in this thread if you don’t care about it being known so that I can make the proper adjustments. I will allow a certain period of time for changes to be made and it will be specified at the end of each round, but if you know beforehand that is obviously fine as well.
Tournament Rules
- General tournament rules and regulations can be found here
- Smogon-wide clauses and Baton Pass clause apply
- Best of three, all players play a single game each round
- Single elimination; no winners or losers bracket
- SM, ORAS and BW2 cartridge win conditions are in place; there are no ties
- Please save and post your replays! While I understand the competitive aspect of this game, you are essentially playing a game a week, and it is much easier for me to keep track of everything and make sure that no one will contest a result.
Signups will be open until Friday, February 2nd at the latest, but it obviously depends on interest and how many teams can fill a standard bracket. I am also seeking to have at little subs and byes as possible.

Hopefully banner coming, contact me with ideas!
Welcome to the first edition of the RU Generations Team Tour! Seasonals are well on their way, but despite Generations and RUPL, there is some difficulties in keeping our former RU tiers relevant, so I thought what better way than to add another to the mix?

Timer Clause
As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment.
Disconnections
If a player disconnects and either player contends that they could still win, the optimal solution is to recreate the exact situation the disconnection occurred at during the battle. If it is agreed between players that this is not feasible due to unreasonable battle length, highly improbable circumstances, or some other reason, the player who did not disconnect may choose to rematch with either the same teams or (the option to use) new teams. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment. Do not do it.
