Group Stages

A tie in the group stages is worth 1 point. A win in the group stages is worth 3 points. A loss in the group stages is worth 0 points. 

The top 3 teams of each group will go through to the playoffs with the 1st placed team getting a BYE in the first round of the playoffs.

Captain’s Duties

Submit the Captain’s choice for each week by Saturday 12:00 GMT before the week starts. If CC is not submitted default pick will be OU.

Submit the Roster for each week by Sunday 00:00 GMT. If roster is not submitted same roster as last week will be used.
 

 

Scheduling

 

Once the week’s forum post is created, players will have 3 days (this doesn't include the day of forum post) to schedule their battles. In order to contact your opponent, you can either send them an in-game mail or DM them on Discord.

Players should provide at least 3 different times.

 

It is each player’s responsibility to communicate clearly when scheduling. Be especially aware of time zone differences. Use time zone converters if you find it convenient to do so.

If one of the parties fails to respond in that timeframe, proof must be given to the host on the 4th day after the post. The team of the player who failed to schedule either tries to get the match done, or they are forced to use a sub who is able to play at the requested times. 

  • If no sub is able to play at those times, the other team gets an activity win.
  • If a sub is able to play at those times, they both must attend the match.
  • Extension can only be given once.

 

If both players attempted to schedule their match but are unable to do so for whatever reason (time zones, etc). Both players are forced to sub.

 

Captains are responsible for their teams' availability. They will also need to check with their teammates and inform if there is any lack of communication between your teammate and opponent.

 

If no player attempts to schedule a match until the end of the 4th day AND if they don't show up to play at the end of the week the match is considered void.

 

If a player is 10 minutes late to a match, the on-time player or their team should reach out to the late player’s team captain or host to notify them. If the player has not shown up 20 minutes after the set was intended to start and no suitable substitution is provided, the on-time player can:

  • Reschedule their match to a favorable time for themselves and the opposing player needs to agree. If the player is late on the rescheduled game, then the on-time player will receive an activity win.
  • If this match occurs during the last 2 days of the week and no subs is available for the opposite team, the player may request an activity win.

 

The player(s) that fails to schedule their match will be automatically suspended to play the upcoming week. If the player keeps repeating this behavior, they will be removed from the event.

 

The late player will get penalized which will result in a suspension for a week if they are late any other time in the weeks.

 

Activity Wins can only be given as a last resort option. If the player you have scheduled with has not responded and there are 2 days left & no subs were provided by the captain by the end of the week, the player can request an activity win. It is in your best interest to avoid callouts of activity wins from your opponent.

 

On the day of your match
 

It's showtime! You have built your team, you have done your calculations, and you have scouted your opponent to the best of your abilities. What now?

10 minutes before your scheduled game starts, you must post that your match is starting on the forum post. You can ask anyone to do it for you.

 

All matches must be done in Kanto, Vermillion, Pokemon Center, Channel 4.

 

All matches must be supervised by either a host, referee, council member, video recorder, or a captain that is not involved with either player.

 

All games must be played with Do Not Disturb chat (Type /dnd in chat to enable/disable), and both players + supervisor must be in a link chat.

 

If a supervisor is not available after 10 minutes of the scheduled time, both players will be able to play their game with DND on. Make sure in this scenario that you have taken a screenshot of the result and post it on the forums. If there is a dispute about the game, notify one of the hosts so that the problem can be solved.

For Little Cup matches, send a duel with the tier “Untiered” and Level Cap set to 5.

 

Once your match has concluded, post the results on the forum post.



Disconnections
 

A disconnection implies a user going completely offline (due to a power outage, connection issues, etc.) and the timer running out completely, making the disconnected player lose automatically.

No rematches are enforced, unless:

- The player disconnected before the 3-turn mark. In which case the disconnected player MUST send their team to the hosts up to 30 seconds after they log back OR send their teams via discord/forums before they log back (preferable).

  - In the instance no host/small council is present at the time, the disconnected player has to send their team to another player of the opposing team (Team means pokes + items + moves + spreads).

 

Otherwise, the opposing team is granted the win.

Note: The first # turns must be played the same. It’s up to the hosts/council to declare whether this disconnection is valid or not.



Other important rules
 

Disputes

When a dispute arises between two players, the first attempt to resolve it should be between the two players in question. If they do not succeed, they may turn to their captains instead. The captains should only seek resolution from the host if they are unable to come to an agreement.

 

In the event that a player refuses to listen to the host or council decision regarding a mid-game dispute, they may be punished with a game loss (whichever is deemed more appropriate by the staff member handling the dispute).

 

 

Cheating

Cheating (or obvious attempts to cheat) will be punished with a game loss, and the player(s) will be disqualified from the tournament. The following are considered forms of cheating:

- Ghosting. (Any outside assistance during a match, eg teammates suggesting plays during a set/providing calculations)

- Coaching. An often more capable player that informs another player of what moves to make. It’s a practice that is strictly forbidden for this tournament. 

“In our mind, there is only one way to coach correctly. Before and after the matches. If you really care about your teammates winning, make an actual effort to make them a better player. Discuss strategies, teams or even counter teams with them. Make them capable and independent. This is how we create a stronger competitive environment. Pokémon is like a game of chess; do you see chess coaches whisper moves into their students’ ears during a tournament? No, they put effort into coaching before and after matches. The same applies to Pokémon.” - quote from philosopher ThinkNice.

- Impersonation.

- Falsifying results.

- Bribing, collusion, or any other attempt to influence the outcome of a game by way of means outside the game itself.



Small infractions
 

Small infractions will lead to a warning. 2 warnings will lead the player from being suspended for 1-2 weeks. Warnings encompasses: 

Harassment, unresponsiveness, lack of effort to schedule matches, showing up late for matches without notice, not announcing matches soon enough or disrespecting teammates/opponents.
