With the second DLC being released December 14th, in the interest of metagame development, we’re launching a tournament to begin immediately once DLC2 is added to Pokémon Showdown. IN ORDER TO RAPIDLY DEVELOP THE METAGAME, THIS WILL BE A “NO JOHNS” TOURNAMENT MEANING THAT THERE WILL BE 2 ROUNDS PER WEEK. Rounds will run from Monday morning until Thursday night, and from Friday morning until Sunday night. Therefore, participation will require a high level of activity, and there will be minimal extensions.
This will be a single elimination Scarlet & Violet Doubles OU Tournament. Rounds will be Best of Three, and you may switch teams between games. As this tournament will begin in a new metagame, there will be Pokémon bans and possible rule set changes throughout the length of the tournament, all bans and rule changes will take effect at the beginning of the next round as they’re made. Replays will of course be required for metagame development.
HOW TO SCHEDULE - PLEASE READ
Signups will close when round 1 is posted, which will either be Thursday, December 14th at 10:00 pm gmt -5, or whenever DLC2 is finalized on Pokémon Showdown, whichever is later.
