yo everyone, welcome to the OU Circuit. This is OverUsed's Circuit Tournament; a year-round OU tournament accessible to everyone. Every tournament will be Sun and Moon OverUsed up until the release of the next generation. We will be using Pokebank OU only. There will be different tournaments with different formats, to gain interest and make it more enjoyable. The Circuit will include: Live Tournaments, a Double Elimination, a single Elimination tournament, and a Round Robin tournament, followed up by a Playoff amongst our top 16 competitors.

Live Tournaments will work the same as the current Smogon Tour format. Points gained by round can be seen here. Playoffs will be top 8, rather than top 16, and will last for 4 weeks with two tournaments per week. You may join both tournaments, but will only get points from the tournament you scored higher in. Live Tournaments will be held at Saturday at 4 PM EST and Sunday at 2 PM EST (GMT-4).

Double and Single Elimination tournaments are pretty straightforward.

The Round Robin tournament is a tour where multiple players will be matched up against each other in a large pool, depending upon signups (probably 6-10 people in a group). You will play everyone inside your pool, and those who place the highest within the pool will advance to playoffs of the Round Robin tournament, which will be single elimination where the top 32 will face off.

Playoffs of the OU Circuit will be determined based off of your performance within these tournament. Points will be gained based off of your performance within each tournament. Of the five different tournaments, your worst two performances will be dropped from your score total. Meaning you may join all 5 tournaments and only your 3 best will count towards qualifying for playoffs. Specific details of the points system will be posted at a later time.

The schedule will be as follows:

November - Live Tournaments - Cycle 1
February - Double Elimination - Cycle 2
June - Single Elimination - Cycle 3
September - Round Robin - Cycle 5
November - Playoffs

Prizes coming soon.

The Live Tournaments will start on November 26th at 4 PM EST (GMT-5).

How to join a Live Tournament!

Hey i got a few PMs asking how you would go about joining the tournaments, so I decided to make a quick little guide that will hopefully clear up any issues you guys were having.
  1. At the scheduled time of the Tournament (i.e Saturday 4EST and Sunday 2EST for this Circuit) you want to head to the Live Tournaments subforum, which can be found here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/live-tournaments.341/
  2. A thread will be posted at that time with the title: OU Circuit (Week X [Saturday]) or OU Circuit (Week X [Sunday])
  3. Just open up the thread once it goes up and type "in" or any message you want within the first few minutes of the thread being posted
    1. Usually the first round is made within the first 5 or so minutes of the thread being posted, so you want to be as fast as possible when it comes to posting in the thread
    2. Even if you are a bit late, there is always the chance you will be subbed in so make sure to be on smogtours and ready in case you are subbed in
  4. Then head over to smogtours.psim.us and be on an account as close to your Smogon account name as possible so its easier for your opponents to find you
  5. Once the round is posted the host will post in the chat with a link back to the thread that will be updated with all the matchups
  6. Once you find our opponent and play your game, PM the host of the Tournament with something simple like "won" and just wait for Round 2!
    1. If you lose there is no need to PM the host, so just watch some other games or just talk in the main chat n_n
Hopefully this clears up any questions you guys were having, and feel free to PM me if there is anything else you guys wanted to know / anything that seemed unclear
