It is time once more for arguably the most popular and unarguably the best tournament on Smogon: Smogon Tour. This will be our 30th season, and the second one of the 8th generation!
The Smogon Tour is a series of Live Tournaments starting this time on the 18th of September. 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.
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 ABR claim his third Smogon Tour Trophy in a row? Will SS tours stop taking twice as much hours than ORAS? Is this finally Finchinator's tour?
We shall find the answers to these questions and many others over the next 9 weeks.
Good luck to all!
