Welcome to the Tours Plaza Auth Challenge, a new event in Toursplaza that matches you, the player, against the talents of our auth members! This is a bit different from the usual toursplaza experience, involving competing in room tournaments to earn points. Now, you challenge individual auth members in custom formats for a chance at glory!
:scrafty-mega: How do you play? :scrafty-mega:Welcome to the Tours Plaza Auth Challenge, a new event in Toursplaza that matches you, the player, against the talents of our auth members! This is a bit different from the usual toursplaza experience, involving competing in room tournaments to earn points. Now, you challenge individual auth members in custom formats for a chance at glory!
During an Auth Challenge cycle, which will run from a Friday-Sunday, participants challenge auth members (room voice and up in Toursplaza) to play in custom formats. Each auth member will have selected 4 different formats you can choose to challenge them in. You are able to challenge each auth member once per day. With each win, you earn one point. You earn 0 points per loss.
In some cases, auth members will have a special challenge on offer in one of their formats! This special challenge will earn you 2 points if you complete them. If you do not complete the challenge but still win, you get the regular 1 point.
If you are busy on one of the 3 days, do not worry! You are allowed to do makeup games. That is, you can challenge an auth member more than once a day to make up for the day you missed. For example, if I did not play auth member A on friday, I can play auth member A twice on Saturday (one Friday game and one Saturday game).
:dratini:Rules:dratini:
Always PM the auth member first before challenging. Keep it respectful in DMs! If they are already in a game, do patiently wait for your turn.
Rude and offensive users may be disqualified from the Auth Challenge, and are subject to global punishments if applicable. Always remember to respect one another!
DO NOT USE ALTS in this challenge. All battles are to performed on the same account. This eases tracking points and makes the points standings much clearer.
You can watch other AC matches. However, do not attempt to blatantly counter team or matchup fish for the other auth member's team. These cases may also result in disqualification, and will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Ghosting is strictly forbidden.
If you suspect anyone breaking the rules, DM GentleDnite on Smogon/PS or any room staff.
:dragonite-mega: Prizes :dragonite-mega:
The winner will receive room prize winner (^) for a month, as well as potentially a special ribbon to display on their profile!
Your name will also be inducted to the Auth Challenge hall of fame on our website!
