Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
As before this will be treated as Crushy dropping out of the tiebreak, so the tiebreak for the pool will now be MendeeZ vs Axelsior and can't bracket reset again.
Stage 2 will be going up tomorrow, this may happen earlier if the and pools finish early.
