Welcome to the SM PU Cup!
PU Classic information can be found here!
SM PU Resources, Sample Teams, and other information can be found here!


Tournament Rules:
  • Standard SM PU
  • Best of three, single elimination.
  • Battles should take place on Pokemon Showdown!
  • Replays are mandatory come Top 16!
  • Do not make baseless activity posts, get in contact with your opponent and report missed times / scheduling issues only.
  • Standard clauses apply.
  • All the usual Smogon rules regarding activity, timer, disconnection, and ghosting rules apply.

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

New R1 Pairing:

Lilburr vs Abnxrmal



They have Extension to play until Thursday 21 11:59 PM GMT-5.

Alright so, since activity wins have already been given out for this tour, this sub is void and Lilburr gets their activity win.

That being said, the fact that activity wins were given out while there was still a sub list was a mistake and I apologize on behalf of all of the TOs. Luckily, however, the math of how many subs we have works out well enough that an unorthodox call can be made. So here is how this is gonna go down:

15 of the 17 subs shown above will get byes for R1 but won't get any Classic points for the bye. The remaining 2 unfortunately drew the short straw and will have to play a R1 match (I know this is a strain, so we are willing to work with you so long as you try to get it done asap). Everyone will then be added to R2, with the matchups here:


SpacialRendevous vs. Abnxrmal
Decem vs. Yves Stone
Ampha
vs. Senpai D.M
Amelia Diane vs. Miraage
Smalls vs. winner of (UBERLandon21 vs cielbakasan)
Tobste vs. TeamCharm69
Osake vs. Links
DKM vs. grekkin

Feel free to pm me either here or on Discord if you have any questions/concerns. I know that this is not a perfect call, but this was the one that seemed to be the most reasonable to the most people given the circumstances. Best of luck to everyone!
