Smogon Tour returns for its 38th season, bringing back the most popular and prestigious tournament on Smogon. This marks the fourth season of Generation 9 (sob) and the third in a row with the familiar format (and times) that have become classic across the years.

The tournament kicks off on Friday, May 1st, at 6 PM GMT -4, featuring live tournaments across a nine-week regular season. Players will compete in the three most recent OU formats—SV OU, SS OU, and SM OU—earning points based on their performance each week. At the end of the season, the top 16 players will advance to the playoffs, where the ultimate champion will claim the Pink Trophy

, 100$, along with either a custom avatar or an inactive account on Pokémon Showdown. The runner-up will also get 50$!

As usual, all the tournaments will take place on the SmogTours server, unless stated otherwise. The times at which they will start are as follow:
  • 6 pm GMT EDT (GMT-4) on Fridays
  • 4 pm GMT EDT (GMT-4) on Saturdays
  • 2 pm GMT EDT (GMT-4) on Sundays
Each player may only join two tournaments per week, not all three. Only your best score from the week will count toward the standings. Anyone caught entering three tournaments in a week will face penalties—first-time offenders will be disqualified and docked points, while repeat violations will result in a season-long ban. Creating a new account to bypass this rule is strictly prohibited.

All standard tournament rules apply, and thus: asking for or offering wins, throwing games, or interfering in other matches (such as ghosting a player or their opponent) is forbidden. Additionally, disrespecting opponents, spectators, or hosts is not tolerated—just be respectful. Violating these rules will lead to infractions and potential bans from our tournaments. Retroactive actions will be taken if necessary.

Don't forget to join our discord server to make sure you never miss a tour; you can ask here if you have any of your questions regarding this tournament. With Santu securing a second individual trophy last season, the community is buzzing with one big question—will we finally avoid a tiebreaker for playoffs? Over the next nine weeks, we’ll find out the answer to this and many more! Best of luck to everyone!

Smogon are never friendly towards Asians and Oceanians, For a season we had an Asian/OCN timeslot for Smogtour which lets us actually play this tour then the western players GOD FORBID didnt get a timeslot just for them and it got removed because it didnt have enough players (even tho there were plenty of top tier OCN players joining and many asians joining for once)

and even with policy threads asking for it back or at least a viable time they never did.
like at least bring back the 4 tour like in smogtour 35 in a week if u still want to keep 3 western timezones
