Welcome to the second edition of Smogon Masters! This is a Swiss bracket, Bo3 tournament with each set consisting of ORAS OU, SM OU, and SS OU. Players will decide which metagame to play first, then the loser picks a different generation for the following game. If both players cannot agree on a metagame to play first, each round will have a default generation randomized at the start of each round. After several rounds of the swiss bracket, a top cut according to record and resistance will be created and a Bo3 single elimination tournament will determine who wins Smogon Masters and the trophy

The second edition of Smogon Masters will be hosted by a fairy, vmnunes, Nyx, and Finchinator. We will use this thread to communicate any important updates regarding this tournament.

Additionally, due to a number of factors unrelated to this tournament, we have an abnormally high amount of banned users. Like with other tournaments where one loss does not eliminate you, these banned users will lose until they have enough losses to be eliminated. Due to the nature of the bracket maker, these users are remaining listed until they lose, rather than be replaced with "Bye" marks.
 
There is now a public sheet, which you can find here: https://spo.ink/mastersii_public

The purpose of this sheet is to provide users an idea of their standing, seeding, and match history publicly should they want it through the tournament. The sheet does not show completed games before a round concludes, and does not list any Bye "accounts" that exist in the backend. This sheet should not be expected to be accurate immediately following a round's conclusion, as round processing usually takes time.

The first six columns contain all users and their records - this is ordered by user IDs. The next section contains each player's list of opponents that they have played throughout the tournament. The next section includes opponent win percentages, with the ordering matching each round. For example, Rewer's first opponent has a 25% win percentage (1-4). The number at the end before the grey line is that user's Resistance, which is loosely the average of their opponent's win percentage. Higher is better for purposes of top cut seeding - if you played an opponent that went undefeated and an opponent who lost only once, you will have a better resistance than someone who played folks who lost every game but the one against them.

The right hand section is all users ordered by rank (score -> resistance). This is what will be used for seedings, however there are some asterisks, such as the secondary ordering currently being alphabetical, or later down the sheet may improperly sort users who finished Swiss earlier than others (7-0 above 7-1, for example).

edit: With the beginning of Top Cut, this sheet will not change further.

Additionally, please be aware that large parts of the world have changed their clocks around this time of year, including Europe just recently, and the United States and Canada during the night period between Saturday and Sunday this round. Please be aware of this shift when scheduling and be careful.
