Thank you Ticken for the incredible spreadsheet!
Welcome to the start of the much anticipated UU World Cup 2024! 12 countries and regions face off in a effort to be crowned World Champion of UU!
Teams consist of eight starters, four substitutes, and two captains.
Games are played in SV, SS, SM, or ORAS UU.
In this first round, teams will be placed into a pool of four teams, where each player will face off against the other three teams in their pool by slot. There will be three pools total.
Teams will be ranked based on records. This means the eight teams with the best records will qualify for the quarter finals of UUWC 2024. If there is a tie in records for the last spot, the teams will face off in a tiebreak series.
If teams within the top eight are tied, a points system will be used to determine tiebreakers. Six points will be awarded for first place, four for second place, and two for third place in a pool. If there is a tie for any position, the total number of points between those two positions will be split equally among the tied parties. For example, if two people are tied for first place, they will split ten (six for first + four for second) points between them for a total of five points each.
Substitution:
There are four subs per roster, and Captains may use them as they see fit. Keep in mind once a player is subbed out, they cannot be subbed back into the same round, but can be put back onto the roster for next round.
Substitutions will be not be allowed in tiebreak series unless both teams agree (or TDs enforce a double sub). We will be reluctant to give activity wins to those who are clearly fishing for them.
Standard Tournament Procedures:
The general tournament rules and guidelines can be found here.
Please read them very carefully.
As a reminder, games must be played on smogtours.psim.us. Games may only be played on main with the approval of hosts in very rare cases.
Deadlines:
Battles must be completed by Sunday, December 22nd at 11:59PM GMT-5. Battles that are not completed will be reviewed for activity and have a winner declared accordingly. If both parties are at fault, the game will simply not count in deciding final standing. Activity calls will not be made before the round is over. Three weeks should be enough time to finish every match. We expect all Captains to nag their players to get their battles done if they are being active, and make substitutions as necessary.
Furthermore, if by Sunday, December 15th at 11:59PM GMT-5 you have not completed at least one battle, we will force the Captain to sub you out. We want games to happen consistently throughout these three weeks, not all backloaded to the last weekend. You have ample time to complete your games, just make you you complete at least one in the first two weeks.
Good luck!
Hoopa-U:
Hoopa-U will remain legal for the duration of the round. It will be banned for the duration of the tour afterwords.
