Introduction

The forgotten classic finally gets the spotlight.

Stadium OU Global Championship will determine our next champion Stadium player.

Each round will consist of 2 stages. The first stage each player will be given 2 sets of pairings, in which they play a first-to-2-wins (best of 3 excluding ties) vs their opponent. After the first stage is completed and the host has determined wins, players who win both their matches go through to the next round, while players who lost twice are eliminated. The players who won 1, lost 1, battle it out in a tiebreaker FT2W in stage 2 to join the two-time winners in the next round (or the player wins the tournament in the case of a final). If a 3-way final, a 3-man FT2W round robin will determine the winner of the tournament (repeated if necessary).

Stadium OU Format:
Banned Moves:
Double Team, Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, Minimize (Evasion + OHKO moves).
Clauses: Freeze Clause, Sleep Clause, Species Clause, Self-KO Clause, Team Preview.

Self-KO Clause (Self-destruct/Explosion with their last Pokémon results in a loss for the user).

Main Differences to RBY:
Substitute blocks all status.
Hyper Beam always recharges, even after KOing the target.
Sleep lasts between 1-3 turns.
Critical hits happen less for fast Pokémon, more for slow Pokémon (relative to RBY).
Focus Energy works.
Team Preview is on (some clauses might be able to be removed, but we'll stick to RBY rules for now)
Partial trapping moves (wrap etc.) stop when the target switches out.
HP values are displayed
No recoil damage if the target is KOed.
The weird RBY bugs like 255, dig/fly glitch are fixed.
Rest counts towards sleep clause, but rest doesn't fail with 1+ Pokémon sleeping.

Major Sim Bug:
Slowbro’s special rolls over at +6, becoming very weak.

Tournament Format : pseudo-double elimination (64 man as an example)

Round 1:
Stage 1 - 2 sets of 32 FT2W matches (64 unseeded players, subs period) & Stage 2
Round 2: Stage 1 - 2 sets of 16 first-to-2-wins matches (32 unseeded players) & Stage 2
Round 3: Stage 1 - 2 sets of 8 first-to-2-wins matches (16 unseeded players) & Stage 2
Round 4: Stage 1 - 2 sets of 4 first-to-2-wins matches (8 unseeded players) & Stage 2
Round 5: Stage 1 - 2 sets of 2 first-to-2-wins matches (4 unseeded players) & Stage 2
Finals: Stage 1 - 2 sets of first-to-2-wins matches (2 unseeded players) & Stage 2
Stage 1 End: Players with 2 match wins go through, and those with 2 losses are eliminated.
Stage 2: Players with a 1-1 record play each other in a FT2W match to see who progresses (or wins the final)
