Schedule:
Activity Calls
Make contact with your opponents! Every season we have to make activity calls that displease one party member. To prevent this, post a VM on their Smogon wall to try to set a date for the battle. If you do this via any other medium, save logs and screenshots so that in the event of an activity call, you get it to go your way. Leave time zones, preferred time to play, and be specific. No activity calls will be made if neither team's players or managers post about it, so take initiative on that.
Dead Games
In the event that a game is not played and neither teams post for an activity call, it will be deemed a dead game, which means that the game will be taken as to not exist. This will also be the case if an activity post is made but neither players showed a satisfactory level of activity. Schedule properly to not let these occur!
What if there is a tie?
As this will only come into effect in playoffs, for the majority of the tournament, this will not matter and the result will be noted as a tie. In playoffs, should a tie happen between 2 teams, there will be a ninth game played, being Gen 6 Inverse.
Prizes on offer:
Awarded to the top 2 best performing players of the winning team will be a nomination for Voice in both Tournaments and Tours Plaza. In addition, those who show great presence in their team discords may also be nominated, at managers discretion.
I hope everybody enjoys the tournament, and we look forward to talking to you all in Tours Plaza!
