- This is a standard USUM Doubles OU tournament
- This tournament will be Double Elimination
- Rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
- Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!
- To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, all matches must have replays recorded. If neither player posts replays of the match, both players will suffer an automatic game loss. (If you were in losers' when you played, you are both out. If you were in winners', the winner is in losers' and the loser is out.)
- If you are found signing up under more than one alt, you will be banned from circuit events for life.
- Activity calls will be made by me, potentially with neutral assistance from a TD. Coin flips will be done on PS!
- In the event that something is added to or removed from the Doubles OU metagame in the middle of a round, that change will be in effect starting the next round. Doubles Ubers is available as a challenge option if something is banned mid-round.
- Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on his team.

For transparency, here is the bracket, seeded by this year's circuit standings: https://challonge.com/2019fallssnl
The deadline for this round is Monday, September 16th, at 11:59 PM Eastern time (GMT - 4). Since this round was posted late, we will grant extensions if necessary. Please try as best as you can to get your matches done by the deadline though!
As a reminder, REPLAYS ARE REQUIRED. If you don't include replays in your win post, you will be given an automatic set loss in your next round. You don't want that!
Good luck to all!
