Hosted by nemoauditur and Chains of Markov. Approved by Rands Slam Circuit hosts.
Welcome to the DS Classic Open! This tournament is your chance to showcase your skills in Generations 4, 5, and 6 Random Battles in a single elimination best-of-3 series.
This tournament is part of our ongoing Rands Slam Circuit. Stay tuned after this tour for news about the next one! To see the current standings see the standings spreadsheet!
Prizes
The winner of the DS Classic Open will receive the Room Prize Winner rank in the Random Battles room for a month, and be inducted into the Randbats Hall of Fame. All participants who win at least one match will also be awarded points for the Rands Slam. The winner of the Slam Playoffs Round will get a custom avatar and a Smogon banner for a full year!
How does the tour work?
It’s simple:
1. Contact your opponent on their Smogon wall and decide on a time to battle.
2. If you cannot mutually decide which format to play first, use “/pick gen4, gen5, gen6” to decide.
3. Battle each other in the decided format. Loser picks the format in the next game, with NO REPEATS.
4. The first player to 2 wins advances to the next round.
Please note:
1. All scheduling attempts MUST be done publicly on Smogon Walls. No other proof of communication will count for act calls regarding scheduling attempts.
2. You MUST post replays of your wins.
We strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with the Smogon Tournament Rules and General Guidelines, if you haven’t already. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to contact the tour hosts nemoauditur or myself here on Smogon.

When spectating Rands Slam battles, do not ghost. Ask yourself, “Would my comment reveal information that hasn’t already been explicitly revealed in this battle?” Examples of ghosting include commenting on how an unexpectedly fast Pokemon must be holding a Choice Scarf, speculating that the match will be decided by a tera coinflip, etc.
