Welcome, Smogon, to the ninthUU Classic! This is part of our official UU Tour Circuit where you can test your mettle against the top players in the community. The UnderUsed Classic is a chance to celebrate the history of the UnderUsed tier through the generations. Participants will compete in separate, single elimination UU tournaments for the SWSH, USM, ORAS, BW, DPP, ADV, GSC, and RBY generations, culminating in playoffs and finals. Additionally, players who make playoffs will be awarded points that will count towards the UU Tour circuit of 2025.

This tournament format should be familiar to anyone who has participated in Smogon's Grand Slam or Classic tournaments. The format consists of eight separate tournaments: the SWSH UU Cup, USM UU Cup, the ORAS UU Cup, the BW UU Cup, the DPP UU Cup, the ADV UU Cup, the GSC UU Cup, and the RBY UU Cup. Each participant will earn points for how far they advance in each cup, following a similar point system used in Grand Slam and other tours (see here for more details), but 2 points will be given out for round 3 onwards instead of round 4.

As with last years UU Classic, we will be employing a Best Finish system for qualifying for playoffs due to having 8 cups, the best 5 cups will contribute to your score to match the bo5 playoffs!.

When all 8 cups have been completed, the top 16 players with the most points will advance to the playoffs. There they will compete in a best-of-five series consisting of a combination involving whichever generations they counterpick until we have an undisputed Smogon UnderUsed Classic Champion.

Sheet Link for Points will be here once its set up
