The tournament will follow the Swiss structure and leads to a final single elimination top cut to determine the champion. This means you play every round whether you win or you lose
The top 8 players will make it to the top cut single elimination stage
Games will be played in a best of 3 set and the winner of 2 games will be declared the winner of the match. Report the proper score because your tiebreakers are affected. The only results should be 2-0 or 2-1.
You may not change teams during that best of 3, but you can change teams between rounds.
Games must be played on Nintendo 3DS systems using Pokémon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire. In certain circumstances Pokémon Showdown may be used, but it needs to be cleared with Doctorstorm, the tournament host.
This is not a live tournament. Matches will play out over the course of the week.
A Pokémon World account is required to play.
If your match comes down to activity and you either never read your opponent’s communication, never replied to your opponent’s communication, or never logged on to Pokémon World during the current round you will be dropped from the tournament.
As mentioned it is Swiss, just because you lose it does not mean you are done, play the tournament out!
Please record a video while playing your match (using a phone or camcorder or something similar) to help in case of disputes. We also recommend saving all battle videos.
When you communicate with your opponent we suggest using private messages. Sometimes your opponent may ignore you, stop responding, or some other issue may arise. In those cases it is in your best interest to include the tournament host in your PM by clicking adding members. This will help hosts make the correct calls when deciding activity decisions. Once a new round is up, hosts will likely not reverse a decision, it is the players job to be proactive in helping their activity cases.
