[OLT] Monthly Optic Ladder Tournament


ThinkNicer

Recommended Posts

This tournament is exclusively for Optic Members.

 

Welcome to the OLT, this goal of this tournament is to provide a learning environment and a competitive environment for our (aspiring) competitive players, while also selecting our monthly TT roster.

 

How it works: Every month there will be three tiers available for signups. These tiers are based on the tiers required for TT that month as well.

 

Signups will be open for a short period of time. In this period you may signup for any combination of tiers.
Once the signup window is closes a Round Robin bracket will be created for every tier seperately. The only thing provided next is a deadline.


You have to schedule all the matches yourself with your opponents within the given deadline. You do not have to do the matches in order of the bracket, as long as all your matches are finished before the deadline you are good to go. Once every match is completed, the top 2 of each tier will face each other in a Best of 3 Finals. During the finals you are allowed to change teams without limit.
The top 2 will be considered the champions of the respective tier that month and will be the first choices for the TT lineup :)

 

Important: During the Round Robin stage you are NOT allowed to change your team. You sign up with one team and that is the team you have to use continuously in the tournament until the final stage.

 

This month the tournament will be free, but we are considering putting an entry fee on the tournament to be able to continuously provide cash prizes for the top placements. We will hold a vote at the end of April to determine if the tournament will continue with fees + prizes or no fee + no prizes.


Follow the sign up instructions each month carefully, because you have to provide your team to a Host as well.

 

Submitting a valid team:

When you join the tournament you have to sign up with a valid team to enter. A valid team must have 6 members, fully EVd and moveset. This information has to be present in the submission. The easiest way to do this is by following the following steps:

 

1. Go to https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/

2. Open the 'teambuilder' found on the left

3. Click 'Add new team' for 'formats' you can select 'National Dex AG'.

4. Now fill in the teambuilder with the team you are going to use. Make sure that the EVs, held item, moves and nature are correct!

5. Once the team is filled you have the button at the bottom of the teambuilder that reads 'upload to pokepaste'.

6. Click on that and you get a pokepaste like this: https://pokepast.es/105f38749dbcbd28, this link is what you ultimately send to the host.
