  • Rounds will be Best of Three. You may not switch teams in between battles of the same set, but may switch teams every week. PLEASE OPEN ALL 3 GAMES AT THE SAME TIME TO PREVENT TEAM SWITCHING.
  • Matches must be played with Open Team Sheets
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown! (main server only due to SmogTours timer rules)
  • To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, replays are required for all matches. If neither player posts replays of the match, a coinflip will occur. REPLAYS ARE MANDATORY REPLAYS ARE REQUIRED POST REPLAYS OR I WONT COUNT YOUR WIN.
  • Do not cheat. Cheating will result in a disqualification. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary. Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
    • Signing up with more than one account
    • Ghosting or being ghosted by another player (e.g. while playing a set, asking for advice about what team to bring or what plays to make)
    • Manipulating match outcomes (e.g. throwing a match in exchange for Smogon likes)
  • Do not harass or insult your opponents. I reserve the right to disqualify anyone breaking this rule. Additional punishments may be applied as necessary.
  • Standard Rules and Clauses
    • Team Lock Clause: Players must use the same team for all games of a given round. You can switch teams in between rounds/weeks, however.

    • You change teams (if only one player changes teams, they will be given a game loss for each game they do not bring their game 1 team to)
    • You do not post replays
    • You play a different VGC format. This is a Regulation E tournament!
  • What are we playing for?
    This tournament will award Tournament Points towards the 2023 VGC Circuit, which awards a prize banner and custom avatar to the winner of the entire circuit. If you win the seasonal itself, you will also get the "Hall of Fame" role in the official Smogon VGC Discord!

If you have questions, you can send me a Forum PM or ask in the SmogonVGC Discord!

HOW TO SCHEDULE
^ watch this if you don't know how
Message your opponent on their Smogon wall (linked in pairings) publicly and work out a time between the two. Please be clear and timely with your scheduling so there is no confusion! Use concrete dates and times (with timezones) for clarity!
Don't say Friday at 5pm, say August 25th 17:00 GMT-4. [This is an example]

CALLING ACTIVITY

You may find that your opponent will not respond to your attempts to schedule the game. If this happens, make sure these rules happen before calling activity:
  • It's at least halfway through the week. Don't be the person trying to call activity Tuesday morning, be reasonable! Try to wait until at least Friday to call act
  • If it's later in the week, that you've been without a response for 24 hours
  • You should be scheduling on each other's Smogon wall, but if you're scheduling using Smogon PMs, Discord DMs, or Twitter DMs, please either post the scheduling conversation or send it to a host privately.
  • Extensions STRONGLY recommended against, only request one if you have no other option.

For those that are in the habit of not reading the whole of the round instructions:

THE FORMAT FROM THIS ROUND ONWARD IS REGULATION E!

Anyways, as always if there are any repeat pairings or other issues, let me know.

It seems strange to change the format for the tournament halfway through it. I've been avoiding Reg E specifically to prepare for this, and now I have to learn a new format in a couple days. I understand why you want to follow the hype, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time to be properly prepared.

Ye that's my bad, wasn't sure how to announce it. If something like this happens again, it's going to be announced in the post of the round before like it should've been this time.

I also wanna add on to this that we technically don't even know what reg e is, and it also isn't the format that is currently going on still.

we have general ideas + cart ladder is effectively E rn, and the format has had multiple big grassroots tournaments (including the most stacked limitless tour i think ever? someone will have to check that)

Predictions for 5-0:

LilPurpp19 vs. Zeepel: I really wanna see this match because I’m not very familiar with both of these two. But they seem to have done extremely well in previous rounds. Knocking TheEeveeAnimations(Who’s a really good player and team builder) and SvenVGC(Who won the Summer Seasonal) down to x-1 respectively. But just because this is Zeepels first Smogon tour from what I’ve seen, I‘ll give it to them.

DaanvirVGC vs. AaPokemon: AaPokemon is really good and while Daanvir has some good results, AaPokemon is one of the best players so far in this tour.

FunneeMonkee vs. Mattadome02: Mattadome02 I’m not very familiar with, and while they did beat Robbie, FunneeMonkee I’m familiar with and is really good as well, so I gotta give it to them.

Zomog vs. JMOdri: This match was decided.
