Huge thanks to EV for the artwork!

Welcome to the first iteration of UU Masters! In order to kick off the year with a bang, it's time for some thrilling SM UU action. This tournament will operate like that of UU Open from Smogon Grand Slam; matchups are standard SM UU, best-of-three, single elimination.

Who will be crowned the first UU Masters Champion? Only time will tell and may the RNG gods bless you on your journey.


Tournament Rules:
  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
  • Standard SM UU.
  • Best-of-three, single elimination.
  • Battles should take place on Pokemon Showdown!
  • SM cartridge win conditions are in place; there are no ties.
  • Tiers are locked at the beginning of each round.

Battle Clauses:
  • Sleep Clause: A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokémon.
  • Species Clause: A player cannot have two of the same Pokémon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffing on his or her team.

General recommendations:
  • Contact your opponent as soon as possible upon the round going up. Activity cases are going to be handled in a very strict manner.
  • When scheduling, offer as wide a swathe of time when you are available to play. 1 hour of activity on one or two weeknights is unlikely to be considered acceptable.
  • Schedule specifically - do not schedule for "Friday afternoon" or "Sunday morning", pick a date, a time and note the timezone.
That aside, feel free to get back to me if you still have any questions regarding this tournament after reading this post.

Prizes:
  • Points for the 2019 UU Tournament Circuit will be awarded accordingly for people who perform well in this tournament
  • A prize of 75 USD will be awarded to the winner of the tournament! Do note that you'll need a PayPal account in order to receive this prize.
