Below are the rules for this tournament.

  • You have up to 90 points with which to draft 8 Pokémon. Costs are listed on your pool’s tab on the drafting spreadsheet.
  • You may only draft 1 Mega Evolution and the non-Mega variants of Pokémon may not Mega Evolve.
  • If a Pokémon is picked by someone else, you may not pick it.
  • The timer will be 8h long for all rounds and active non-stop once it begins at 12pm GMT-4 on Friday 14th July. Your timer will halve every time you are skipped. It is recommended to leave picks (with backups) with your pool moderator to avoid this.
  • Smogon’s Species Clause applies to your draft.
  • All games must be played in the [Gen 6] Draft, [Gen 7] Draft and [Gen 8] Galar Dex Draft tiers respectively on smogtours.psim.us or psim.us.
  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
  • ORAS/USUM/SS cartridge win conditions are in place; there are no ties.
  • Each set is a best-of-three set, with a game played in each of the three tiers. Game one is picked by the higher seed, game two by the loser of game one.
  • The following clauses apply:
    - Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokémon with the same National Pokédex number on a team.
    - Sleep Clause: If a player has already put a Pokémon on their opponent's side to sleep and it is still sleeping, another one can't be put to sleep.
    - Evasion Clause: A Pokémon may not hold an item, use a move or possess an ability that can increase their evasion stat.
    - OHKO Clause: A Pokémon may not have the moves Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, or Sheer Cold in its moveset.
    - Moody Clause: A team cannot have a Pokémon with the ability Moody.
    - Endless Battle Clause: Players cannot intentionally prevent an opponent from being able to end the game without forfeiting.
    - Baton Pass Clause: A Pokémon may not have Baton Pass in its moveset."
  • Any items unreleased in ORAS/USUM/SS are banned.
  • Replays must be posted to the pool/round thread.
About Activity Decisions

Activity Decisions / Coin Flips: In the event that there is an uncompleted match at the deadline, it will be coin flipped unless one or both of the players involved in the match specifically request an activity win and explain sufficiently why they deserve to win over their opponent. Attempting to schedule a battle is required in order to receive the win by activity. To make it clear that you are requesting an activity win when you post, you must open your post with "Activity Win Request" in bold.

For example, if you believe your opponent is making an unfair request and that they don't deserve the activity win over you, you can either make your own request or quote their post and explain why they don't deserve it. You should try to make your activity win request posts at least 24 hours before the deadline to give your opponent a reasonable opportunity to contest it with their own activity win request.

Each generation contains two randomised draft pools, which can be found both at this link (https://spo.ink/classic_i_playoffs) as well as below.
