Smogon Grand Slam - Introduction

[HoiPolloi]

What happens if like 5 players end up reaching the eight place?

I guess there will be preliminaries for it like with the finals of the 11th Tour.

This should be fun, NU should be great but I should probably learn the other tiers, whatever 9.9

 

[WhiteQueen]

no, animenagai, no. fuk ou

i suggest we really do it like the tennis Open. Have four brackets for each Open, amd the best players of each bracket compete with one another in the semi

 

[Ray Jay]

Beyond pumped to watch everyone be so awful at LC

 

[dragonuser]

seems like a fantastic idea

This should be fun, RU and Ubers should be great but I should probably learn the other tiers, whatever 9.9

I like the idea but how would you seed the individual players, would it be based on your rating in the tierat the time of the sign-ups for each open or would it be based on performances in other tourneys for that tier?

LC is mine

 

[bojangles]

This is a great idea! We definitely want all the current tiers to be represented in tourneys :).

I suggest adding OU in here. The OU open will lure in a lot of players, and if they do well, that may lead them to learn the other tiers and compete in them.

"Let's add OU to the VGC tournament to attract more people."

I think you're sort of missing the point here.

No seeding. Just random matchups

 

[NidokingKing]

This'll be really fun...

Excuse me while I go learn LC and Ubers...

Edit: One done, now onto Ubers :D Hate to admit it, but LC is really fun.

 

[KnightoftheWind]

COME ON AND SLAM, AND WELCOME TO THE JAM

This looks to be a really fun series of tournaments, looking forward to it!

HEY YOU, WHATCHA GONNA DO

 

[Psychotic]

Thank god you agreed to tutor me in LC Ray Jay. Otherwise I would have no chance because of that tier alone.

 

[danilo]

You still have no chance

[jake]

[shrang]

Sounds ossim. Likes like I'm going to have lrn2LC.

 

[Eo Ut Mortus]

As a singles overused-centric player with neither the knowledge of any of Smogon's other custom metagames nor the capacity to learn them, I find the idea of this tournament outrageous. Is this a joke? Another bad iconic thread as usual.

 

[Oglemi]

Eo is outrageous!!!!

Also yay, super pumped to host the RU Open!
