This week, TheMantyke , lucariojr, and maybe someone else will be running the bracket.
View the bracket and sign up for the tournament here.
The link for the IRC channel, #smogonvgc is Here.
You will need to check in one hour before the tournament begins to participate.
Additionally, we're aiming to record the finals and put them up on the official Smogon Youtube Channel! This should go without saying, but please, if you make it to the finals, save your Battle Videos and post them here!
We're slowly getting previous week's finals rolled out. Here's the newly uploaded finals for week 9 & 10!
The rules are simple:
- Flat Doubles, pentagon Pokemon ONLY. Basic VGC rules here, folks. If it's not allowed on ORAS Battle Spot, it isn't allowed here.
- For the purpose of having the tournament run on time, strategies such as Minimize are STRONGLY discouraged. Id' like to keep this tournament fun and fast; these strategies are neither.
- Competitors will need a copy of Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire to enter.
- The tournament will be Swiss, best of one with a top cut (with best of three matches) that will be determined by how many people enter (or depending on time constraints)
- Each round will last a maximum of 30 minutes. If the match is not completed within the timeframe, it will be up to the host to decide who wins or who loses.
- If there is a disconnection, it will be up to the host to decide who wins or who loses. Make sure to have a camera handy to get some proof if you're nervous about this.
- Since this is a non-weighted practice tournament, you may change your team between rounds. However, it might be better practice for you not to do so.
- You must join the IRC channel #smogonvgc in order to participate.
Nature: Jolly - Ability: Justified - Location: Pokemon Omega Ruby
IVs: 31/31/31/x/31/31
So even if you're not confident in your skills or your team, remember that this is just for practice and that you're getting a free Terrakion. Stop by #smogonvgc this Friday to show your support for VGC on Smogon! I hope to see you then!
