Rules & Tournament Format

General Tournament Rules
  • This is a standard SV DOU tournament.
  • OSDT V will be a swiss tournament with a top cut of 16.
    • Players will be automatically dropped when they hit three losses as they are no longer in contention for top cut.
    • Players will be assigned a random opponent out of the pool of players with the same record as you each round.
  • 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!. If you can't agree on which server to play on, the Smogtours server is the default option.
  • Replays are required and must be posted every round.
  • There are no extensions, so please get your games done on time.
  • Your hosts are TPP, a fairy, FayaWizard and Dead by Daylight
Activity Decisions / Coin Flips: In the event that there is an uncompleted match at the deadline, it will be coin flipped unless one or both of the players involved in the match specifically request an activity win and explain sufficiently why they deserve to win over their opponent. Attempting to schedule a battle is required in order to receive the win by activity. To make it clear that you are requesting an activity win when you post, you must open your post with "Activity Win Request" in bold.

For example, if you believe your opponent is making an unfair request and that they don't deserve the activity win over you, you can either make your own request or quote their post and explain why they don't deserve it. You should try to make your activity win request posts at least 24 hours before the deadline to give your opponent a reasonable opportunity to contest it with their own activity win request.

In case of disconnections, if you played in the SmogTours server, call a Tournament Director as soon as possible and we'll see about the possibility of having a rematch.

Prize

Courtesy of the Pokemon Showdown! Upper Staff, in addition to the trophy, the winner of OSDT V will win an additional prize. The winner will have a choice of receiving a Custom Avatar or reclaiming an inactive username on Pokemon Showdown!, with the runner-up receiving the option not chosen by the winner.

EDIT: This is outdated, please see the 2nd post.

For the Top Cut, obviously all of the 9-1 players will automatically qualify, and the two 8-2 players with the lowest Resistance will do a Play-in round.
The current order on the 8-2 Resistance sheet will be accurate to the order after Week 11; only Sapphire and Nakano Nino could swap positions.
Nido-Rus and all players above them will skip the Play-ins (if they go 9-2) because two players below them are playing each other by the random draw.

My bad, I forgot to account for the 9-1 players, and also forgot that other players can affect Resistances.

But I investigated the Resistance Spreadsheet, and it turns out that it has not yet been updated for Round 10, so I manually edited the sheet.

It will take too much time to determine who will skip the Play-ins because all results affects everyone's Resistance, but I think this is more accurate to the Playoffs.
