How this works
There are 10 teams. Each team has 6 starters and 3 substitutes. The 10 teams will be randomly divided up into 2 groups of 5 teams each. Each team will play every other team in that group, where a win earns 2 points and a tie earns 1. You are allowed to replay a game if you have tied. After the group stage, the two teams with the most points from each group will advance. Week 4 will be the playoff round between the first and second placed teams from opposite groups, with the winners moving on to the week 5 finale. Note that this schedule is subject to tiebreakers (explained below). All standard Smogon tournament rules and procedures apply.
Tiebreaker
In the event of two teams being tied for a spot in the playoffs based on points and win differential, or a tie in the playoffs/final itself, we will have a tiebreaker round. One metagame picked by each manager, and a meta randomly picked by the hosts will give a best-of-three between the tied teams, ultimately deciding who moves on in the tournament.
Substitutes
Substitutes are allowed in this tournament. A player that has been subbed out during a week may not be subbed into any other slot. Multiple substitutions may occur in the same slot. Substitutions will be permitted even if a player has played at least one of their pool matches. Substitutions will be not be allowed in tiebreak series unless the hosts mandate it. However, since we prioritize games being played, we will consider extension requests so long as they're reasonable. We will also be reluctant to give activity wins to those who are clearly fishing for them.
Replays
If you've played a game, you have 24 hours to post your replay. If it is not, it will either be considered a dead game, or the game will have to be replayed.
The tier lineup is as follows:
- SS Almost Any Ability
- SS Balanced Hackmons
- SS Camomons
- SS Mix and Mega
- SS NFE
- SS STABmons
