Pokémon players of the world, unite! Then, split up again into regions! It’s time to band together with your compatriots, cheer each other on in your native tongues, and—best of all—throw teambuilding out the window. Welcome to the second annual World Cup of Random Battles!
This year’s WCoR will feature every main generation of Random Battles. Each team is led by two captains, who themselves may count among the total roster of the 12 starter and 3-5 substitute players. You can read more about the structure of the tournament in the Announcements and Administrative Decisions thread.
The formats this year will be:
Gen 9 Random Battle bo5
Gen 9 Random Battle bo3

Team Eligibility
Players may only play for the regions associated with their Smogon forum IPs. You may be eligible for multiple regions, in which case you choose which one. Cases of eligibility include spending extended periods of time within multiple regions within the past 12 months, or a long-term residency in a different region to where you currently live prior to the past 12 months (usually minimum one year). Eligibility will be confirmed by Smogon forum IPs, and approved or rejected on a case-by-case basis. Any residency in regions from before you made your Smogon account will not be considered as we cannot check them, do not send other proof as it will doxx yourself and won’t make you eligible for another team. In a similar vein, cultural eligibility has not been a thing for WCoP for a while, and is therefore not the case here either.
As a reminder, hosts reserve the right to reject any player they deem to be insufficiently eligible, e.g. a player whose IP drastically changes shortly before the start of the tournament.
