Tournament World Cup of Other Metagames IV - Information and Administrative Decisions

Information & Administrative Decisions | Pools Phase | Semifinals | Finals | Post-Tour

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

All games will be played on the Pokemon Showdown main server or SmogTours in the most current version of the format corresponding to those listed above. The result between players may be decided in a best-of-one or best-of-three at the discretion of both players involved. If there is no agreement, the result will decided in a Bo1 by default.

Round Information & Lineups



There will be one round before playoffs begins - this round will last 3 weeks, and players will play each other in their metagame pools to earn points and determine if their team will be one of the 4 teams getting into playoffs. Before each round, teams will have to submit their lineups. (Note that lineups posted elsewhere will be accepted for now, but future lineups should be submitted how we describe below.)



In a Smogon conversation including OM, Sectonia, and both captains of the team, post your lineup in the following format:

SS Almost Any Ability - @PlayerName

SS Balanced Hackmons - @PlayerName

SS Camomons - @PlayerName

SS Mix and Mega - @PlayerName

SS NFE - @PlayerName

SS STABmons - @PlayerName

Please use the same conversation for the following rounds. The deadline for each round's lineup will be 1 hour before the end of the previous round (i.e. 10:59 PM EST). Note: Failure to submit your lineup by the deadline will result in your lineup being reused from the previous round (or randomized in the case of pools phase).

Manager tags

This is basically a formality since we have all of the lineups already sent to us for this round.

 

[OM]

Rule clarification 1:

You're allowed to replay a game if you've tied for any reason.

The 'tie' points are meant to be there as a 'just in case' deal.

 

[OM]

Rule Addition #2:

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.

This is to prevent inaccurate wincounts, and will be in effect from now on.
