Monotype Cup
What is Monotype Cup?
Monotype now has five playable generations, from BW to the current gen. To celebrate this we are introducing a Grand Slam style tournament, to crown the best current and old generations Monotype Player. All of the Monotype Opens will be single elimination tours and will have the same scoring system as Smogon's Grand Slam tournaments. However, we will count all tours towards your finally tally over the Top 3. Then the top 16 seeds will advance to the Monotype Cup playoffs. When future generations are introduced, the tour will remain the five most current Monotype Generations.
The Monotype Open tournaments are held in the Circuit Tournaments forum right here on Smogon, so keep an eye out if you're interested in participating! Who knows? You might just be this years strongest Monotype Player across the gens!
Scoring System
Single Elimination
Single Elimination tours use Smogon's Grand Slam scoring format. Players are awarded 1 point for each win in rounds 1-3 then 2 points for wins in subsequent rounds. The winner of a round robin final (3 participants, opposed to 2) is awarded an extra point.
Activity Decisions
A player must play their battles (not win via activity/coin flip) to be awarded their points. If they win in a round after an activity decision, the points from the round where they received the activity win will be added to their score.
Interacting with the Leaderboard
Sorting
Sort the table by a particular column by clicking the header cell. This makes it easy to examine the progress of a particular seasonal.
Score Details
Hover over a player's score from a particular Seasonal to view their tournament run. A "--" in the chart indicates the player did not play in that particular Seasonal, while "0" indicates that they did play, but scored 0 points.
