Tournament Rules:
- General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
- The banlist for this tournament is the same as the SWSH 1v1 ladder on the Smogon University server of Pokemon Showdown, and can be found here.
- Best of five, two-stage elimination bracket.
- If metagame changes occur during the middle of a round, they will take effect in the subsequent round.
- Battles must take place on main server or smogtours.
- Replays are not required this round but I encourage posting them for the development of the metagame.
- Do not make baseless activity posts; get in contact with your opponent and report missed times / scheduling issues only.
- The winner of this Seasonal will receive this trophy in the 1v1 Hall of Fame.
Because this format is new to the 1v1 circuit not everyone may be familiar with the format so I've included an example 64 player rundown below. If you have any questions feel free to reach out and ask because it's better to find out now than during the actual tournament.
Round 1: Stage 1 - 2 sets of 64 Bo5 matches (128 unseeded players, subs period) & Stage 2
Round 2: Stage 1 - 2 sets of 32 Bo5 matches (64 unseeded players) & Stage 2
Round 3: Stage 1 - 2 sets of 16 Bo5 matches (32 unseeded players) & Stage 2
Round 4: Stage 1 - 2 sets of 8 Bo5 matches (16 unseeded players) & Stage 2
Round 5: Stage 1 - 2 sets of 4 Bo5 matches (8 unseeded players) & Stage 2
Semifinals: Stage 1 - 2 sets of 2 Bo5 matches (4 unseeded players) & Stage 2
Finals: Stage 1 - 2 sets of Bo5 matches (2 unseeded players) & Stage 2 (essentially a bo3o5 in finals)
-----------------------------------------
Stage 1 End: Players with 2 match wins go through, and those with 2 losses are eliminated.
Stage 2: Players with a 1-1 record play each other in an Bo5 match to see who progresses (or wins the final).
Each stage is 1 week long and each round is 2 stages equalling 2 weeks long.
Basically you just have to win 2 out of 3 potential games in order to move on to round 2.
Example
Stage 1 I am given the opponents DEG and Rosa. If I win both games I automatically move on to round 2 and get to skip stage 2 the following week. If I go 1-1 I am matched up vs 1 opponent for stage 2 the following week and if I beat them I move on. If I go 0-2 I am out of the tour rip. This 2 week cycle repeats over and over until finals
