Pokémon players of the world, unite! Then split up based on where you live and start fighting again! That's right: it’s time to throw teambuilding out the window as you band together with your compatriots and cheer each other on in your native tongues in the third annual World Cup of Random Battles! Will we see our previous two champions, Team China and Team Benelux, complete a finalist-showdown hat trick, continuing their rivalry into a third year? Or will a new challenger rise through the ranks and claim their place in Randbats history? There's only one way to find out!

WCOR '24 will feature every main generation of Random Battles, plus Gen 9 Random Double Battle. Each team is led by two captains, who themselves may count among the total roster of the 12 starter and 3-5 substitute players. You can read more about the structure of the tournament in the Announcements and Administrative Decisions thread.

The formats this year will be:
Gen 9 Random Battle bo5
Gen 9 Random Battle bo3
Gen 9 Random Battle bo3
Gen 9 Random Double Battle bo3
Gen 8 Random Battle bo3
Gen 7 Random Battle bo3
Gen 6 Random Battle bo3
Gen 5 Random Battle bo3
Gen 4 Random Battle bo3
Gen 3 Random Battle bo3
Gen 2 Random Battle bo3
Gen 1 Random Battle bo3

Team Eligibility
Players who are not locked onto a team and are not eligible for grandfathering (new players, or players whose previous teams no longer exist) may only play for the regions associated with their forum IPs. Hosts will not consider any other means of identification for regional eligibility. Please do not submit real-world identifying documents such as passports or birth certificates.
If you have specific questions about eligibility, please contact the hosts.

Players who participated in the last WCOR

If a player participated in the last WCOR, they will be locked onto their team from the previous year, barring the following exceptions:
  • If the team they most recently played for no longer exists, they will be treated as a player eligible for a new team.
  • If a player's region has changed since last WCOR, they may choose to instead play for the region currently associated with their forum IPs. This is a one-time choice; doing so forfeits their previous eligibility. They will not be able to be grandfathered back onto their previous team in the future, and even if they someday return to their old region, this eligibility will remain forfeited.
Players who did not participate in the last WCOR / players eligible for new teams

If a player has IP logs to prove they've spent extended periods of time in multiple regions within the past 12 months (e.g. students who attend university in one region and live in another), they can note their eligibility to join a team associated with either region. Hosts will review these applications on a case-by-case basis.

Players with significant periods of residency prior to the past 12 months, but after their Smogon account was made, may apply to join the team associated with their old IPs used to access Smogon. Hosts will consider these applications on a case-by-case basis, but as a general rule, the minimum amount of time we will consider is one year of residency in the old region. As referenced above, you MUST be able to verify said residency via forum IPs; if your IPs do not reflect this prior residency, your application will not be accepted. Eligibility for the rejected team will be forfeited.

"Cultural eligibility" rules were removed in earlier editions of WCOP & WCOR, and have not been reinstated.

Hosts reserve the right to reject any player they deem to be insufficiently eligible, e.g. a player whose IP drastically changes shortly before the start of the tournament.
