Smogon Tour returns for its 37th season, bringing back the most popular and prestigious tournament on Smogon. This marks the third season of Generation 9 and the second in a row with the familiar format (and times) that have become classic across the years.
The tournament kicks off on Friday, March 28th, at 6 PM GMT -4, featuring live tournaments across a nine-week regular season. Players will compete in the three most recent OU formats—SV OU, SS OU, and SM OU—earning points based on their performance each week. At the end of the season, the top 16 players will advance to the playoffs, where the ultimate champion will claim the Pink Trophy and $100
As usual, all the tournaments will take place on the SmogTours server, unless stated otherwise. The times at which they will start are as follow:
- 6 pm GMT EST (GMT-4) on Fridays
- 4 pm GMT EST (GMT-4) on Saturdays
- 2 pm GMT EST (GMT-4) on Sundays
All standard tournament rules apply, and thus: asking for or offering wins, throwing games, or interfering in other matches (such as ghosting a player or their opponent) is forbidden. Additionally, disrespecting opponents, spectators, or hosts is not tolerated—just be respectful. Violating these rules will lead to infractions and potential bans from our tournaments. Retroactive actions will be taken if necessary.
Don't forget to join our discord server to make sure you never miss a tour; you can ask here if you have any of your questions regarding this tournament. Keep an eye out for our upcoming Smogon Tour video, which will be announced both here and across Smogon’s social media platforms as soon as it’s released!
With Empo securing a historic third trophy last season, the community is buzzing with one big question—is it finally Finchinator’s time (yeah this never gets old...)? Over the next nine weeks, we’ll find out the answer to this and many more! Best of luck to everyone!
