Smogon Tour 29

[Luigi]

It is time once more for arguably the most popular and unarguably the best tournament on Smogon: Smogon Tour. This will be the 29th season, and the first of the 8th generation!

The Smogon Tour is a series of Live Tournaments starting this time on the 13th of March. The format is the same as usual, consisting of the three most recent OU generations (SS OU, SM OU and ORAS OU, in this very order). The Live part of the tournaments will last 9 weeks where everyone will earn a certain amount of points according to their weekly performances. Once this phase is over, we'll move to Playoffs with the 16 best players of the tournament. The winner of the Smogon Tour will obtain the glorious Pink Trophy

As usual, all the tournaments will take place on the smogtours server, unless stated otherwise. The times at which they will start are unchanged and are as follow:

• 6 pm GMT -4 on Fridays
• 4 pm GMT -4 on Saturdays.
• 2 pm GMT -4 on Sundays.

Remember that you can only join two tours per week. Players caught joining three tours in one week will be disqualified the first time, and banned for the rest of the season the second time. You cannot make a new account to circumvent the rule either. Also, you are not allowed to ask for wins, offer wins, throw games or interfere in other people's battles (ghosting them or their opponent). Nor are you allowed to insult your opponent, spectators and especially not the host. If you do any of the things mentioned in this paragraph, be prepared to get infracted and potentially banned from our Tournaments. We will take retroactive actions if needed.

Take a look at this page for more information about how Smogon Tour works and how you can participate!

Don't forget to join our discord server to make sure you never miss a tour, and also to have any of your questions regarding this tournament and others answered.

Will the old guard be able to qualify without BW? Are the SS tours going to take 5 hours?
Will people figure out that you need to show up on time to play?

Find the answers to these questions and many others over the next 9 weeks.

Good luck to all!
