Hello everyone and welcome to the 20th edition of one of our most anticipated tournament: Smogon Tour!
The Smogon Tour is a serie of Live Tournaments starting this year on the 4th of September. The format is the same as usual, consisting of the three most recent OU generations (ORAS OU, BW OU* and DPP OU, in this very order). The Live part of the tournaments will last 9 weeks where everyone will earn a certain amount of points according to their weekly performances. Once this phase is over, we'll move to PlayOffs with the 16 best players of the tournament. The winner of the Smogon Tour will obtain his Very Own Pink Trophy (
As usual, all the tournaments will take place on the smogtours server, unless stated otherwise. The times at which they will start are unchanged and are as follow:
- 6 PM EST on Fridays.
- 4 PM EST on Saturdays.
- 2 PM EST on Sundays.
Remember that you can only join two tours per week. You cannot make a new account to circumvent the rule either. Also, you are not allowed to ask for wins, offer wins or interfer in other people's battles (ghosting them or their opponent). If you do any of the aforementionned, be prepared to get infracted and potentially banned from our Tournaments. We will take retroactive actions if needed.
Take a look at this page for more information about how Smogon Tour works and how you can participate (stick to the Rules section, the Schedule and Standings one are not up to date).
If you need any clarification regarding anything there or have any questions concerning something, don't hesitate to ask.
*We will announce in due time, in this thread, what is the final rulling regarding BW OU and its potential tiering change.
