SPECIFIC RULES
  • This is a standard USUM Doubles OU tournament
  • This tournament will be Double Elimination
  • Rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!
  • To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, all matches must have replays recorded. If neither player posts replays of the match, both players will suffer an automatic game loss. (If you were in losers' when you played, you are both out. If you were in winners', the winner is in losers' and the loser is out.)
  • If you are found signing up under more than one alt, you will be banned from circuit events for life.
  • Activity calls will be made by me, potentially with neutral assistance from a TD. Coin flips will be done on PS!
  • In the event that something is added to or removed from the Doubles OU metagame in the middle of a round, that change will be in effect starting the next round. Doubles Ubers is available as a challenge option if something is banned mid-round.
Standard Rules and Clauses
  • Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on his team.
  • Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned. (No other evasion boosting things are banned).
  • OHKO Clause: The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, and Fissure are banned.
  • Endless Battle Clause: Anything capable of intentionally creating an endless battle is banned.
  • HypnoGravity Clause: The move Gravity is banned with all moves that can induce Sleep. I am not 100% sure if this is fully implemented on Pokemon Showdown!, so if it is not and you are found to be using it you will be disqualified and banned from future Circuit events.

Kudasai vs Mizuhime
Remember the pretty hot girl who hitted on him? He'll just talk to Mizuhime in the same way, unnerving her and guaranteeing him the win

Mishimono vs Jrenner
Jrenner can do no wrong, except multiple post in various threads multiple times, responding to year-old posts in an extremely aggressive manner. But that pales in comparison to the sins of Mishimono. You won't hear about this in the media, but Mishiimono's famous for her demagogic orchestrations of the casual fact, the creative imagination, the will to believe, and, out of these three elements, a counterfeit reality in which the government (and perhaps Mishiimono herself) should have sweeping powers to arrest and hold people indefinitely on flimsy grounds. Permit me this forum to rant. All she wants is to bring this battle to a fever pitch. Let's remember that. She has certainly never given evidence of thinking extensively. Or at all, for that matter. Although Mishiimono likes to pontificate about how advertising is the most veridical form of human communication, the truth is that I, for one, thrive on debates, statistics, and getting the facts right. And the facts in this case indicate that I'm by no means the first person to expose Mishiimono as a supercilious, mean-spirited pococurante. However, it's still somewhat rare for anyone to state publicly that there is historical precedent for her soliloquies. Specifically, for as far back as I can remember, Mishiimono has been turning public education into a warm, fuzzy, mushy, touchy-feely experience whose purpose is socialization, not learning. Given how one flighty activity always leads to another, it should come as no surprise that Mishiimono must have a severe case of attention-deficit disorder. Otherwise, she would have realized that I normally prefer to listen than to speak. I would, however, like to remind Mishiimono that some people believe that one day her encomiasts will contain the pungent stench of general immorality and depravity emanating from her crew. Such people are doomed to disappointment, especially when one considers that Mishiimono's methods are much subtler now than ever before. Mishiimono is more adept at hidden mind control, and her techniques of social brainwash are much more appealingly streamlined and homogenized.
