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.
if all the auth get eliminated they have to admit that darmanitan is the undoubted best uu mon ever since its introduction in bw. otherwise they get demoted, which is why the number of auth signups has decreased so drastically in comparison to prior iterations of this tour.
If all the auth get eliminated they have to admit that scarfers under 85 speed are actually the best kind of scarfer,and that Mega Aerodactyl is the least viable mon to ever hit the UU tier since ADV.
jk, all the non auth get bragging rights until the next tour, (in which we will win).
Now, in the interest of time (many people will be focusing on UU Open), we're moving into the free-for-all stage. This means every nonauth who hasn't yet been paired can challenge any of the auth who remain undefeated. Auth may decline challenges in excess of 1 ever 24 hours. If anyone has questions about how this works, feel free to pm me.
