Pokémon players of the world, it’s time: the WCOR '25 Qualifying Round! Which teams will win their place among those who’ve already qualified and earn a shot at WCOR glory? It’s time to find out!

Format
Each team is led by two or three captains, who may themselves count among the total roster of twelve starters and three-to-five substitutes. The formats are:
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
This year, the Qualifier Round will be an eleven-team round robin. For each format, each player will play against four opponents; across all formats, teams will play each other no less than four and no more than five times.

Teams will be ranked based on overall aggregate records. The top four teams with the best records will advance, joining the qualified teams in the regular season. If there is a tie in records for the last spot, the teams will face off in a tiebreaker series consisting of three bo3 matchups: Gen 9 Random Battle and one format chosen by each team.

Substitutions
Captains may sub in any of their substitutes as they see fit. Keep in mind that once a player is subbed out, they cannot be subbed back in during the same round, but can return for the next round.

Substitutions will not be allowed in tiebreaks unless both teams agree (or hosts enforce a double sub). Hosts will be reluctant to give activity wins to those who are clearly fishing for them.

Standard Tournament Procedures
Like all other tournaments on Smogon, the World Cup of Randbats will follow the general rules and guidelines. Please read them carefully. Also note that replays are required.
When spectating WCOR battles, do not ghost. Ask yourself, “Would my comment reveal information that hasn’t already been explicitly revealed in this battle?” Examples of ghosting include commenting on how an unexpectedly fast Pokemon must be holding a Choice Scarf, speculating that the match will be decided by a tera coinflip, etc.

Matchups
Thanks to the math that ensures teams play each other no less than four and no more than five times, there are no distinct “these 5 players each play each other, with no overlaps or outside matches” groups or pools, per se. To find your opponents, refer to the Matchups tab of the WCOR '25 Spreadsheet. Hosts will make sure this sheet stays up to date.
Again: to find your opponents, refer to the Matchups tab of the WCOR '25 Spreadsheet.

Deadlines
All matches are to be completed by Friday, August 1st at 11:59PM GMT-4. Matches that are not completed will be reviewed for activity and have a winner declared accordingly. If both parties are at fault, the match will simply not count in deciding final standing. Activity calls will not be made until the end of the round. Captains should ensure their players play their matches, and make substitutions as necessary.

Furthermore, if by Sunday, July 27th at 11:59PM GMT-4 a player has not completed at least one match, hosts will force their captains to sub them out. Three weeks is more than enough time to play four games that don’t require teambuilding, but players shouldn’t delay only to then try to cram all four matches into a single week. Be respectful of each others’ schedules.

Good luck, have fun, and may the strongest regions prevail!
