Welcome to the 2025 ZU Seasonal! This seasonal is a Type A tournament of the 2025 ZU Tournament Circuit and also rewards points toward the UM Circuit, too! Replays are not required until Round 2. This tour is hosted by FlamPoke.
Specific Rules:
This is a standard SV ZU tournament.
Matches are to be played on PS!, preferably on the smogtours server.
The format for this tournament is best of three, double elimination.
Any tier changes that occur during a round will not be in effect until the following round.
Changing teams between games is allowed.
Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on their team.
Sleep Clause: You cannot inflict sleep upon more than one member of the opposing team.
Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned.
OHKO Clause: The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, and Fissure are banned.
Endless Battle Clause: Anything capable of intentionally creating an endless battle is banned, draws will be enforced after 1000 turns
Identity: I expect many battles to be completed under alts. This can be bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.
Scouting: Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any blatant scouting. There is a difference between "[user] is known for using stall" and "let me follow [user] around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter. I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. Everyone will have access to your replays from earlier rounds though.
Timer Clause: As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time.
Disconnections: Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't do it.

Scouting: Em seguida, eu não quero ouvir nada sobre contra-equipe, em tudo. Não reclame disso. Eu também não quero ouvir sobre nenhum escotismo flagrante. Há uma diferença entre "[usuário] é conhecido por usar stall" e "deixe-me seguir [usuário] o dia todo para assistir a todas as suas batalhas, já que sou seu oponente". Espero muito do primeiro e nenhum do último. Dou permissão a todos os lutadores para pedir a qualquer pessoa que assista à batalha que saia se não quiser que eles assistam. Todos terão acesso aos seus replays das rodadas anteriores.
Cláusula do cronômetro: Quanto a demorar muito entre os movimentos, se o seu oponente pedir para você se apressar, por favor, obedeça. Se você está fazendo um cálculo de dano para um giro de chave, isso é uma coisa, mas prolongar cada movimento é suspeito e irritante. Não faça isso. Além disso, o Tempo Limite de Batalha é uma regra por um motivo. Se você ficar sem tempo, você perde, simples assim. Não importa o que seu oponente diga. Não lute se achar que terá que sair no meio da batalha e, em vez disso, reagende para um momento melhor.
Desconexões: Finalmente, no caso de uma desconexão, a decisão está nas mãos do jogador que não se desconectou. As opções são: refazer a batalha movimento por movimento, refazer a batalha com as mesmas equipes, mas movimentos diferentes, ou refazer a batalha com equipes completamente diferentes. Se a batalha acabou sem dúvida, eles também podem vencer. Qualquer suspeita de que uma desconexão foi cometida de propósito para refazer uma partida pode ser apelada para mim, e se eu sentir que isso aconteceu, haverá consequências graves, não faça isso.

de Torneios ZU 2025 e também recompensa pontos para o Circuito UM! Replays não são necessários até a 2ª rodada. Este tour é hospedado por FlamPoke.
Regras específicas:
Este é um torneio SV ZU padrão.
As partidas devem ser jogadas no PS!, de preferência no servidor smogtours.
O formato deste torneio é melhor de três, eliminação dupla.
Quaisquer mudanças de nível que ocorram durante uma rodada não entrarão em vigor até a rodada seguinte.
É permitido mudar de equipe entre os jogos.
Cláusula de Espécie: Um jogador não pode ter dois Pokémon com o mesmo número PokeDex em sua equipe.
Cláusula de sono: Você não pode infligir sono a mais de um membro da equipe adversária.
Cláusula de Evasão: Os movimentos Double Team e Minimize são banidos.
Cláusula OHKO: Os movimentos Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold e Fissure são banidos.
Cláusula de Batalha Sem Fim: Qualquer coisa capaz de criar intencionalmente uma batalha sem fim é banida, os empates serão aplicados após 1000 turnos
Identidade: Espero que muitas batalhas sejam concluídas sob alts. Isso pode ser ruim para a segurança do torneio e, portanto, deixarei isso claro: se eu ouvir qualquer sussurro de roubo de identidade (lutando como alguém que você não é) ou batalha por procuração (ajudando outra pessoa a lutar contra o pm), não ficarei satisfeito e tomarei medidas severas.
