Tournament rules:
  • General tournament rules and regulations, which can be found here.
  • Smogon Classic III rules, which can be read here.
  • RBY OU tier's ruleset, which can be studied here.
  • Matches are best of three
  • Tournament is single elimination.
  • Battles will take place on Pokemon Showdown!
  • Do not make baseless activity posts, get in contact with your opponent and report missed times / scheduling issues only.
Identity

I expect many battles to be completed under alts and I expect many battles to be completed on other servers to prevent scouting. These kind of factors are pretty 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. It is the silliest thing I have ever heard, any battler worth their marbles has more than one team. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any forceful scouting, whether it be spying on another teams irc channel or following your opponent around on PO. There is a difference between "ipl is known for using stall" and "let me follow ipl 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.

With that said, I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. However, given the fact that this is the big stage, I am sure a lot of people want to watch, so don't be too mean.

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. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment.

Disconnections

If a player disconnects and either player contends that they could still win, the optimal solution is to recreate the exact situation the disconnection occurred at during the battle. If it is agreed between players that this is not feasible due to unreasonable battle length, highly improbable circumstances, or some other reason, the player who did not disconnect may choose to rematch with either the same teams or (the option to use) new teams. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment. Do not do it.

I know that was a lot to read, but it is all necessary for me to have posted here so everyone can see it in the case of a dispute. I don't want any confusion or any problems.

Mr. Music
activity win request - i scheduled a time with Rodriblutar for an hour ago. i left him a VM with my ps nick and waited on smogtours and he has not showed up. i've got a rl commitment to leave at the latest in ~ half hour from time of this post with some prepwork to be done beforehand, so in the time between now and then, i can't wait much longer within the leftover alloted time i have left and still get a bo3 done. i dont wanna do this and would rather get games done but realistically if an extension were given, there would be no chance of getting it done since our timezone differences would mean the ideal times would be while i'm at work, and given a competitor did not show up for a scheduled upon time, there's no reason an activity call shouldn't be made.

Edit: Time last shown on smogon says he was on 15 mins before scheduled upon time.
 
All matches are finished! No activity calls, no extensions (thank you everyone btw) ... which means the next round goes up early. Buckle up!
