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.
RBY Ubers World Championship is a standard RBY Ubers Tournament with a goal to find the best RBY Ubers player. Just like in RBY OU World Championship, rounds will be best of 3 until 16 are left. Then they'll be two double round-robin group stages, going down to 8 and then 4. The semi-finals and finals will be best of 5.
Round 1 - 32 best of 3 matches (64 unseeded players with a substitution period)
Round 2 - 16 best of 3 matches (32 unseeded players)
Round 3 - 4 x 4 double round-robin groups (16 unseeded players)
Round 4 - 2 x 4 double round-robin groups (2 x 1st and 2 x 2nd Round 3 seeds in each group)
Round 5 - 2 best of 5 matches (2 x 1st vs 2nd Round 4 seeds from alternate groups)
Finals - 1 best of 5 match (2)
Tie rules:
Battle ties will not be counted in any best of or round-robin match.
Ties between 1st and/or 2nd positions in a group will result in a single battle or single round-robin of battles repeated, until positions within the group are established.
Arrange location: Visitor Messages on the Smogon Forums. Battle location: Pokémon Showdown! (Pokémon Perfect server - adv. connect: pokemonperfect.com on PO if both users agree) Bugs to watch out for: On PS, while under the effects of transform, the speed stat is not copied correctly (haven't checked critical hits yet). On PO, while under the effects of transform, critical hits use the user's (Mew/Ditto) Stats for CH calculation, but copy the target's critical hit ratio. It should be the other way round.
