Fortree Cup #1
Tournament Format
Battle location: Pokémon Showdown!
About Activity
Even though there are neither deadlines nor activity calls in this tournament, it is integral to the success of the format that every player maintains a certain level of activity. Specifically, if a participant has played less than 2 games within a week of entering a round and having available opponents, they may be disqualified if they are unable to provide sufficient evidence of their activity (e.g. scheduling with an opponent that missed the time). Furthermore, extremely unsportsmanlike behaviour, such as scheduling with several people and not showing up for no apparent reason, will be punished as well.
Since a disqualification at a score greater than -2 has huge implications on the format, I highly advise you not to sign up if you cannot guarantee constant activity throughout the tournament.
About Matches
Players will probably gather around the Ruins of Alph channel on PS or the Smogtours or PP servers, so idle on there if you want to catch them. Please play matches in the ADV OU tier following the above rules.
Challenge other players by VM and post your results in this thread.
You need to have contacted at least one player or accepted a challenge by Thursday Jul 12, 8am GMT+2.
- Fortree Cup is a Battle Royale tournament that consists of several rounds.
- In each round, players can freely challenge other players from the same round, who are free to accept or refuse that challenge. The amount of games played can be chosen individually.
- A player is awarded 1 point for a won game and loses 1 point for a loss. Ties, including those caused by self-KO, do not affect either player's score.
- Upon reaching a score of 2 points, a player enters the next round. A score of -2 leads to disqualification from the tournament.
- In the first round, a single point is enough to advance.
- The winner qualifies for the EverGrande Cup and receives a
trophy by their avatar!
- Banned Pokemon: Deoxys, Deoxys-Attack, Deoxys-Defense, Deoxys-Speed, Groudon, Ho-oh, Kyogre, Latias, Latios, Lugia, Mew, Mewtwo, Rayquaza, Wobbuffet, Wynaut.
- Banned Moves: Double Team, Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, Minimize, Sheer Cold (Evasion + OHKO moves).
- Banned Moves on Pokémon: Ingrain on Smeargle.
- Clauses: Sleep Clause, Species Clause, Self-KO Clause. Self-KO is a tie, in which case a replay should occur.
