Smogon's Forum Invitational - Information and Registration
Introduction
This tournament will be DPP OU. Each of the eight website that has been invited to compete will have a representative. The representatives will be in charge of appointing a team captain and coming up with a system for selecting a roster. Rosters will consist of eight (8) players and two (2) substitutes. Each round sites will face off against another site in a single elimination style. In the event of a tie, the team captain will select who will play the tiebreaker. The representatives from each site are responsible for posting the necessary threads on their forums. Each participating forum may have their own thread dedicated to this tournament, but all results are to be officially posted on Smogon for the sake of organization. It is wise to save the logs in case of a discrepancy.
