Welcome to the eleventh Smogon Classic! This tournament celebrates Smogon's and Pokemon's history throughout the years. Players will compete in separate tournaments for the RBY, GSC, ADV, DPP, and BW generations, culminating in a play-off stage where the contestants must play all five generations with the coveted white trophy on the line
The format is the same as previous editions and consists of five separate tournaments: the BW Cup, the DPP Cup, the ADV Cup, the GSC Cup, and the RBY Cup. Each tournament is single elimination, best of three. Depending on your performance in a Cup, you will be awarded points. The point system is the same as the one used in Smogon Grand Slam; you can find the points tables here. When all the Cups have been finished, the sixteen players with the most points will advance to the play-offs. There they will battle in a best of five series until there is one undisputed Smogon Classic champion.
Signups for each Cup will be posted a week after the signups for the previous Cup. Here is the list of the five Cups with the names of the hosts and the dates each signup thread will be posted:

Important notes
- (NEW) The point system has been adjusted to match the current point system of Smogon Grand Slam. This means Cups will award 1 point per win until the round of 32, and wins from that point onwards will award 2 points.
- Reminder that replays will be required starting in Round 2 of every Classic Cup.
- (NEW) Mandatory replays in winposts must be easily findable and accessible. Basically just link them in order like a sane human being and you'll be fine. First and good faith offenses will be met with a warning and a requirement that your winpost be edited, repeat offenders will be infracted.
- Tiering changes to the metagames in this tournament might not immediately affect this tournament the round after they happen.
