Welcome to the third 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 (with the higher seed choosing come Top Cut), 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, all players with 2 or fewer losses will be advanced onto a single elimination, Bo3 bracket which will culminate in a grand finals where we'll crown our winner of Smogon Masters III and the purple trophy

! Last year's Masters was won by none other than Empo in a closely fought finals, do you think you have what it takes to take his title?

Rules & Tournament Format

General Tournament Rules
  • This is a tournament that will employ the standard rulesets for ORAS OU, SM OU, and SS OU, being a Best of Three with one game of each tier.
  • Smogon Masters III will be a Swiss tournament with a to-be-determined Top Cut size depending on signups.
    • Players will be automatically dropped when they hit three losses as they are no longer in contention for top cut. Players who achieve top cut scores before the end of Swiss will not be matched up for the remainder of the Swiss rounds.
    • Players will be assigned a random opponent out of the pool of players with the same record as them each round, although on rare occasions, players may face someone with a better/worse record to avoid having more than 1 bye in any given round. Players will not face the same opponent during the Swiss portion of the tour.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokémon Showdown!. If you can't agree on which server to play on, the Smogtours server is the default option.
  • Saving replays is required and must be posted in each winpost starting in the second round.
  • There are no extensions due to the nature of a Swiss tournament, so please get your games done on time. This will be removed for the single elimination Top Cut stage of the tournament.
  • Princess Autumn is the primary host of this tournament and the co-hosts will be a fairy, Eledyr, goldmason, and vmnunes.
This tournament uses a Swiss format, where everyone plays until they lose three times, or until Top Cut begins after Round 10 (or 11). The Top Cut will be single elimination and based on a 32-player bracket, although this may vary depending on the tour's player count. All matches will be a Best of 3, involving ORAS OU, USUM OU, and SWSH OU.

This tournament is expected to fall into of the following sizes:
384 - 512 players = 10 rounds of Swiss, 32 person Top Cut with varying numbers of byes
513 - ~978 players = 11 rounds of Swiss, 32 person Top Cut with varying numbers of byes
~978 - 1024 players = 11 rounds of Swiss, 64 person Top Cut with varying numbers of byes

Byes will be awarded based off of seeding which will be calculated by the following tiebreakers: fewest number of losses, highest opponent's resistance, highest opponent's opponent's resistance.
Opponent's resistance is defined as the average win% of a player's opponents expressed as a decimal, for example:
  • I have a record of 3-0
  • My R1 opponent's record is 0-3
  • My R2 opponent's record is 1-2
  • My R3 opponent's record is 2-1
  • My opponent's resistance is (0 + 1/3 + 2/3)/3 = 1/3 = ~0.33
  • This value has a hard coded minimum of 0.25
Opponent's opponent's resistance is the average of each of a player's opponent's resistances, and is calculated in a similar manner.
If players are still tied after these, their seeding will be determined by a coin flip.

There will be no substitute slots this year, instead week 1 will last for 2 weeks; substitutes will be allowed to signup for the duration of week 1 and come Sunday, inactive players will be replaced on a first-come first-serve basis.

Players who achieve a Top Cut-qualifying record before the final round of Swiss will be removed from the Swiss rounds. They will be seeded in brackets depending on when they qualified.

NEW FOR MASTERS III: We will be implementing an extra round of Swiss (similar to OSDT V or the VGC Live Tour earlier this year). This will shorten the length of Top Cut by 1 round and provide more of a safety net to X-0 and X-1 players.

Your game was scheduled for a range, you showed up around the start of the range, your opponent showed up with a small delay request right towards the end of the range. Given that both of you were there within the range (given the fact of them informing you they were running late), it was hard to justify activity towards either of you.
