Smogon Tournament #5

http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38685

Welcome to the Smogon Tournament #5 Registration Thread! Here, you will learn all the information you need to know in order to understand and participate in the fifth Smogon Tournament!

What is Smogon Tournament #5?

Smogon Tournament #5 is the official Smogon Tournament which recognizes one person whose skill is greater than everyone on the Smogon Forum! It is a standard OU tournament that Smogon runs once a year to test players in the current meta game! However, getting in is slightly stricter than getting into most other tournaments.

Joining Rules
  1. You must have a good standing title on Smogon. This means you cannot have the "I Could Be Banned!" status under your nickname.
  2. You cannot join if you have freshly joined. For example, if you registered on Smogon the same day registration opened, you will not be allowed to join. This is due to questionable activity
  3. If you have recently joined Smogon, you will most likely be denied entry due to questionable activity. See #4
  4. You must be a solid poster. This means you should have at least a good number of posts (100~) quality posts. This doesn't mean going around posting one liners. If you're lacking this requirement, most likely, you won't be allowed to join. This is the saving grace to those who recently joined.
  5. If you have registered with a join date for quite a few months at Smogon but lack posts, your eligibility will be put into question due to your idle time. You can't call it lurking for six months to a year. We'll determine if you're active enough to join.
  6. You can only join with one account. This is obvious regardless as creating a second on the forum is general is not allowed.
If you discover that your post was deleted that had your registration for Smogon Tournament #5, that means you were rejected from joining. You broke a rule from the above. Do not post asking to register again if your first post was deleted. There will be a 256 player cap. All registrations after that will turn into substitute slots. There will be a need for substitutes.

Specific Rules
  • Please send a log to Sonuis labeled like so: Round # - Name vs. Name (Score as Win-Loss). These are vital to getting your matches counted. If you are having a format issue when you open up your log, rename its file extension to .doc.
  • Scouting: This is a blanket rule. Understand that it is severely frowned upon, but it can't be controlled by any means. So if any player playing their match, I want to ask that you leave if they request so. Please resource the original creating/joining a tournament thread.
Basic Battle Rules
  • Species Clause
    • You cannot have more than two of the same species of a pokémon on your team.
      • Example: You cannot have two Charmanders on your team.
  • *Uber Clause
    • Pokémon in the "Uber" tier list are not allowed to be on your team.
  • Sleep Clause
    • You cannot put two of your opponent's pokémon asleep at the same time.
      • Using moves that put your own pokémon to sleep like rest will not trigger the Sleep Clause.
  • Evasion Clause
    • A pokémon cannot use moves raise its evasion stat.
      • Traits and Moves that indirectly increase a pokémon's evasion do not break this clause.
      • Items like Brightpowder do not break this clause.
  • Freeze Clause
    • You cannot freeze two of your opponent's Pokémon.
  • OHKO Clause
    • A pokémon cannot use moves OHKO moves.
      • Example: Fissure
  • Self-KO Clause
    • If both players are down to one pokémon each, you are not allowed to use a move that KOs both pokémon to force a tie.
      • If a recoil damage move forces a tie, then the Self-KO Clause does not trigger. Please notify Sonuis if this happens during your match.
Questions and Answers
  • Q: Will there be a Predictions Tournament like last year?
    • A: Why of course!
  • Q: The Uber and OU tier lists have been changing recently. Will we be allowed to change our team throughout the tournament as the tier list changes?
    • A: No. The tier list is static, in other words, set, at the end of registrations. So whatever the tier list is when the registrations end for ST5, that is what we will be using for the rest of the tournament.
  • Q: Will this be played on Shoddy Battle or via Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection?
    • A: This will be played on Shoddy Battle. The reasoning behind this is that the Wi-Fi connection is unavailable to some people, or acts poorly to them.
  • Q: Just wondering, if we were rejected can we at least sign up as a sub?
    • A: No.
If you have any questions, please PM them to Sonuis. If they aren't answered in the thread, then the Q&A section will be updated with such details. Registrations end when we have at least 256 players, and the substitute registrations die off a little.

Good luck to all who join, and have fun!

sorry to disappoint but we already know that kd24 will win and is IN

edit: holy shit tsruaka or whatever is back. Ryo how you doing man?
 
I'm joining.

Edit: I'm fine and have a lot of free time now. I hope I do better than last year lol.
 
Well, I would like to join the tournament. I know that my post count is low, but I have been registered for about a year.

I just lurk around and rarely post unless a topic catches my attention. Another reason I don't post much is that English is not my mother tongue, so even though I'm pretty fluent in it I still cannot express myself as easily as if it were.

I will understand if I'm rejected. Good luck to everyone participating.
