Welcome to Pokémon Perfect's 20th ADV OU Master tournament, which is part of 7th ADV Season. Dizno will host the regular tour, but asked someone to post the signups thread for him. Please read this post in its entirety and familiarize yourself with Smogons ADV OU ruleset, prior to signing up below. If you still have questions after reading this, you can always contact Dizno or me on here in vm or pm or on discord as Dizno#1693 or tjdaas#5961.Tournament Information:
Tournament Title: Master Tournament
Tier: ADV OU (Tier info: Ruleset)
Type: Single Elimination. May contain 3-player round-robin finals.
Battles Per Round: First To 2 Wins (FT2W).
Seeding: There will be seeding this master tournament, using Player Ranking 4.
If you wish to join this master tournament just posting "in" is enough. Round 1 will be posted on Monday January the 7th. The rules and how deadlines will be handled are down below, so read them thoroughly!
Seeding
Seeding is done using Player Ranking 4. Any player who does not get an opportunity to play in a certain master tour gets an opportunity to play in the next one. Additionally, in the first tournament of the season, every player is seeded, but in the subsequent tournaments, only the top 50% of players are given positions by seeding and uses a variation the pool-shuffling method elucidated by Lutra in this thread.
Tier Information
Ruleset (reminder that we are playing by the smogon ADV OU rules and all extra clauses/mods are removed that were pp specific!)
Ties
Any matches which result in a tie are not counted.
Points
2 Points are awarded for completing each round. Every battle victory, in a series which you lose, contributes 1 point. The Battle for Bronze does not contribute any points; it is only for the Master Tournament Bronze medal.
About Simulators
Pokemon Perfect has its own Showdown server, which is the default place to play games (other servers may be used instead if both players agree).
About Deadlines
Any matches not played by the deadline will be coin flipped unless one or both players have submitted a request for an activity win. Additionally, any player deemed inactive may be subbed out: players who have not contacted their opponent by the arrival of the Contact Deadline without contacting the host prior to this point will be substituted out if substitutes are available. Extensions will be allowed should both players request one and provide convincing reasons (TBD by me) regarding why an extension is required. The maximum time allocated for any given extension (unless unavoidable, extenuating circumstances factor in) prior to the quarterfinal round will be 2 days: the extended deadline will be 11:59 PM UTC on the first Tuesday after the initial deadline. Please do not hesitate to contact me on either PP or discord if you need an extension, because I'll mostly likely grant them if a valid reason has been given.
Any calls I make in specific games can be contested for 24 hours. If, by 24 hours, nothing has been said to me / in this topic, the decision is final and I won't change it. Furthermore, please do not play your next series before the OP has been updated or I have liked your post. I know that my timezone can differ from yours. so you need to wait a bit, but this ensures that no ambiguous messages are wrongly interpreted.
In other tournaments, myself and other hosts may not necessarily follow the same policy on deadlines.
