Something Worth Fighting For

Welcome to the first edition of the ZU Open! ZU, or Zero Used, is the newest official Other Meta and is the unofficial tier below PU. The idea of a new Smogon tier has been entertained since XY, when it was still named FU, and this tier is a continuation of the same format. Following standard tiering, ZU is a competitive equivalent to the tiers above it. And now for the rules:

Welcome to the first edition of the ZU Open! ZU, or Zero Used, is the newest official Other Meta and is the unofficial tier below PU. The idea of a new Smogon tier has been entertained since XY, when it was still named FU, and this tier is a continuation of the same format. Following standard tiering, ZU is a competitive equivalent to the tiers above it. And now for the rules:
- The ZU Open is Single Elimination.
- Players will play a best of three series of USUM ZU each round. (Matches will be played in the PU format)
- Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown either the main server or through Smogtours.
- To encourage the development of the metagame, all replays must be posted. Privately PMing replays is not sufficient.
- If a certain Pokemon is banned after a round is posted, it will remain unbanned for the remainder of the round. Vice versa, if a Pokemon drops after a round is posted, that Pokemon cannot be used until the following round.
- Every round, I may choose several games as the Highlight Matches.
- The winner of this tournament will have their name featured in the ZU Room Banner on Pokemon Showdown
- Most importantly, have fun!
- Here are some links to ZU resources:
Standard Clauses:
