Welcome to the fourth Doubles Classic! See the Doubles Classic IV commencement thread for details on scoring and the playoffs that will follow the conclusion of BW, XY, SM, and SS Cups.
SPECIFIC RULES

- This tournament will be Single Elimination.
- Rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
- Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!
- Replays must be saved. Any match win reported without replays will not count. This is to promote the development of the XY DOU metagame and ensure players are on an equal playing field with regard to replay access.

There were 73 signups for XY Cup, which, I believe literally just, means there are enough for a bracket of 96, which is why there are a bunch of byes this round, and sadly means there will be round robin finals
