Monotype Seasonals

What are Power Rankings?

Monotype isn't a part of any official tournament here on Smogon. However, we would still like to establish who is the best of the best throughout the year, and crown a yearly champion. As a complement to the three other major Monotype events, the Monotype Seasonals serve as the major individual tournaments throughout the year. These tournaments are held to give players incentive to hone their skills over time and reward players that consistently battle well.

The Seasonals 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 become the Monotype Champion!

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.

Double Elimination
Players are awarded 2 points for each winner's bracket win, 1 point for each loser's bracket win, and 1 point for winning in the first round of the tour.

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.
