Welcome to the sitewide Smogon VGC Live Tournament! This will be a two day event, with those who accumulate a record of X wins (depending on the number of signups) and 2 losses or better advancing to the second day.
Signups will run for the next two weeks, until slightly before the event begins. To sign up, please follow the link to the form just below (also at the bottom of this post)!
Note that you must fill out both forms to sign up fully. The first form will be made public so people can see who's planning to participate but the second form will be available to hosts of this event and nobody else. Thank you for understanding!
Signups will close an hour or two before the tour starts. You must have submitted both your signup and your team sheet in order to participate!
The tournament will take place on Pokémon Showdown!'s main server!
Format: Best of 3 [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Regulation I
Smogon's General Tournament Rules that are relevant to a livetour format will apply.
Prize: $400, a Custom Avatar on Pokémon Showdown!, and a unique Smogon forum banner!
(The cash prize is the minimum amount awarded pending further donations)
You are required to save your replays in the event of a dispute! You do not have to post them or make them public, but make sure to have them available.
For those unfamiliar with the PS! interface, to save and get a link to the replay of your game, click on the "Upload and share replay" button that appears below the battle screen after it completes (see image). This will then give you a link that can be used to view the replay. If you click "Download replay", the replay will instead be saved to your computer, which we do not have access to.
To then make the replay private to people to people who are not given a link to the replay, type
/hidereplay in the battle chat window and press enter.Smogon's official Twitch will livestream the progression of the tournament, so make sure to tune in!
