Welcome to the first Gen 8 RU Seasonal! This seasonal will be the first Type A tournament of the 2020 RU Tournament Circuit. This seasonal will earn you the points for the overall RU leaderboard, which contributes to achieving the yearly RU Ribbon!​

Specific Rules:
  • This is a standard SS RU tournament.
  • Matches are to be played on PS!, preferably on the smogtours server.
  • The format for this tournament is best of three, double elimination.
  • Any tier changes that occur during a round will not be in effect until the following round.
  • Replays are not required until semifinals, but you should save them in the case of a disagreement; it is the only way to settle disputes!
  • Changing teams between matches is allowed.
Standard Rules and Clauses:
  • Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on his team.
  • Sleep Clause: You cannot inflict sleep upon more than one member of the opposing team.
  • Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned.
  • OHKO Clause: The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, and Fissure are banned.
  • Endless Battle Clause: Anything capable of intentionally creating an endless battle is banned.
General Tournament Rules:
  • Identity: I expect many battles to be completed under alts. This can be bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.
  • Scouting: Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any blatant scouting. There is a difference between "[user] is known for using stall" and "let me follow [user] around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter. I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. Everyone will have access to your replays from earlier rounds though.
  • 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.
  • Disconnections: Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't do it.
GRAND FINALS!

I have won my first ever tournament on smogon, and it just happens to be a big 14 round long ssnl. When I signed up, I kinda just wanted decent results and to do well, but I did not imagine to have actually make it this far, hopefully this is first of many :)

s/o to Feliburn for doing such a great job hosting this tournament and always getting up each round early af, you are definitely a dedicated hoster and a great player, your run in this tour was solid for for losing so early on :)

Shoutouts to Sensei Axew for probably being my #1 fan throughout this whole tournament. If it wasn't for you, I would be stuck talking to the same boring people like Mac3 again and again, and being able to test and help support some teams as well means so much. Wouldn't have done it without you :).
s/o to Loom for being a GW fan too, I can't believe that those still exist I am shocked :v4:.
Thanks for building some of the teams I used in the very early rounds and wanting me to win even after u kinda retired mons. You are a super cool dude :)

s/o to Amaroq for building some of the teams I used as well and for being a helpful teammate in ru snake. I know you didn't get the record you wanted and might not know I won this tour, but thanks anyway !

s/o to Expulso and gorex for cheering me on along the way !! You guys definitely wanted me to go all the way and I did it just for you guys ;]]! I hope that both of u get at least considered for snake, keep up the work in ru!!!

s/o to Thiago Nunes solonor24 electric loser oops wrong tag Ewin the pharoah Regnite ig atomicllamas Juno Ampha and many more. If ur my friend and roots for me in games and I didn't tag u I love you too :psytear:
Thanks for talking to me on discord and making playing through all these games on smogon more enjoyable. It can be tough to stay motivated through such a long tournament and being able to interact with each and every one of you just makes it that much better :)
