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.
It always baffles me (and it's quite frustrating to see) that there are so many coinflips and activity wins for that first round (and so they can progress to the second round) while people who schedule properly are definitely out of the tour after one loss.
It's not my defeat was unfair (my oppo outplayed me, ggs to him) and that I want to have a second chance so badly but I raise an interesting issue. Tbf, I really believe that a "lucky loser system" should exist when losing players can replace an inactive player or a coinflip to reward activity. However, I guess that it would be very difficult to implement for tour hosts. Sorry for the little rant.
