Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Calling act, proof on opps wall. Partly my fault for being annoying with rescheduling, but its been 40 minutes and they have not been online or asked me to reschedule to a later time.
Welcome to the Gen 7 Random Battles Open! It's time to showcase your skills in Gen 7 Random Battles, in a single elimination best-of-3 series (best-of-5, quarterfinals onward).
This tournament is part of our ongoing Rands Slam circuit. Stay tuned after this tour for news about the next one!
Prizes
The winner of the Gen 7 Random Battles Open will receive the Room Prize Winner rank in the Random Battles room for a month, be inducted into the Randbats Hall of Fame, and be awarded points for the Rands Slam. The winner of the Slam Playoffs Round will get a custom avatar and a Smogon banner for a full year, along with a month-long Room Prize Winner rank and joinphrase.
How does the tour work?
It’s simple:
1. Contact your opponent on their Smogon wall and decide on a time to battle.
2. Battle each other in the format “[Gen 7] Random Battle”.
3. The first player to 2 wins (3 wins for quarterfinals onwards) advances to the next round.
Please note:
1. All scheduling attempts MUST be done publicly on Smogon Walls. No other proof of communication will count for act calls regarding scheduling attempts.
2. You MUST post replays of your wins.
When spectating Rands Slam 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.
The guy I was supposed to battle couldn't meet the time we'd agreed upon on his smogon wall. He responded to my message on smogon, and then he also hit me up on Discord to let me know. We're all good, and we wish each other well! He ended up forfeiting and handing me the win.
