Rules
Battle Rules:
- This tournament will be played in Ubers UU.
- This tournament will be use a double elimination, best-of-1 format. Repeats are required in the event of a tie.
- If a change is made to the tier (a mon is banned/unbanned), changes would not go into effect until the next round.
- If you're playing on the main server, please make the room public for spectating purposes. If your room is hidden, type /modjoin off and /publicroom.
- Timer: Do NOT turn on the timer in your battle until after 15 minutes have passed since it started. Use the servertime command to keep track of this (see below). This is to allow enough time to properly ghost.
- In order to keep track of 15 minutes, type !servertime in the chat when the battle begins. Type !servertime in the chat again when you want to turn the timer on. Agreement from both sides is not required.
- If you're on SmogTours, ask anyone that has a %, @, or ~ next to their name to turn off the timer in your battle. Try to make sure that a staff member is online before you start playing. If there isn't one, play on Main.
- Replays: you must post a replay of your win. You can hide it or unlist it, but you have to post it.
Ghosting Rules:
- You can ghost (clue's in the name).
- Teams are to be made up of 3 players. One of these three players will be your “Captain”, who is in charge of registering your team.
- A majority of your team (preferably entire) should be present at a battle, so it's probably a good idea to form a team with similar timezones and availabilities. At minimum, 2 of your players should be present during the match and any absences are at the discretion of the player themselves. Your Captain MUST be present, however.
- You are allowed to ghost over a voice call, or using text logs.Proof of ghosting must be provided in either format, and linked when you submit the replay. Losers can choose to post their ghosting logs but are not required.
- If you're playing on Main and have a trusted user on your team, make a groupchat (/makegroupchat) to do your ghosting if you choose to use text ghosting. It makes it easy to just copy and paste the logs into a pastebin.
- If you're playing on SmogTours or on Main but without a trusted user, use Discord, but make sure to copy and paste your logs while in compact mode.
- If you're in a voice call, you'll need to record a video and audio of your call and, if possible, the battle. Upload it to YouTube.
- Make sure to choose a format that works best of the entire team.
How the Money will be distributed:
- This tournament will be a Winner-takes-all format, where the first place team takes home the entire prize pool.
- Captains will be in charge of determining how to split the prize pool within their teams. To avoid conflict, ensure that every member is on board with the amounts they would get before registering your teams.

Signups are now open! Remember, 3 members!
- Only the captain of a team needs to post. Captains: make sure to tag every member on your team.
- Don't post to confirm; that just clutters up the thread (Notify a TO if you're on a team you didn't agree to).
- Captains can decide a team name and an image to be associated with - please use common sense with this, nothing profane.
- People not on a team can post to be a free agent to try and find teammates. If you’re still struggling to find team members, check out the Ubers UU Discord! Free agent teams will NOT be arranged by tournament coordinators, so it is on you to find a squad.
Good luck, have fun, and I hope to see plenty of new faces within Ubers UU!
