Welcome to the SM DOU Swiss Tournament! 
Part of the DOU Oldgens Circuit, and hosted by myself
Tournament rules
- This tournament will follow a hybrid format. Each player will participate in four rounds of Swiss. After the conclusion of the Swiss rounds, all players with a 2-2 record or better will move on to a single elimination bracket.
- All rounds will be best of 3. You may switch teams between games.
- Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown, on either the main server or the SmogTours server.
- To encourage metagame development, prevent disputed results, and ensure an even playing field, replays are required for all matches.
- Activity calls will be made by the tournament host, potentially with neutral assistance from a Doubles OU Forum Moderator. Coin flips will be done publicly on PS, in the Smogon Doubles room.
- In the event that something is added to or removed from the SM DOU metagame in the middle of a round, that change will be in effect starting the next round.
- Do not cheat. Cheating will result in a disqualification. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary. Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
- Signing up with more than one account
- Ghosting or being ghosted by another player (e.g. while playing a set, asking for advice about what team to bring or what plays to make)
- Manipulating match outcomes (e.g. throwing a match in exchange for Smogon likes)
- Do not harass or insult your opponents. I reserve the right to disqualify anyone breaking this rule. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary.
Seeding spreadsheet can be found here. Everyone is sorted by record first, then resistance (basically their opponents' combined records), then if still equal their opponents' average resistance (their opponents' opponents' combined record). A few pairs of people were still tied even after that so were flipped for seeding on PS:
Anyone 2-2 or better were then seeded in that order into the Challonge bracket linked below, with there being 27 people so 32-27=5 byes for the first round, the two 4-0 players and the three best 3-1s based on resistance (myself, Mr.GX, and Trout In Space). variationonatheme was top seed for the Swiss portion, I had the best resistance at 12-4 (i.e. all my opponents ended with great records), while Actuarily had the joint worst resistance of 5-11, but was the only one to make 2-2 and therefore made it into top cut as the lowest seed. Using a Google Sheet from TPP (edited a bit by Actuarily) helped a lot but working out all this seeding using resistance was still pretty torturous.
