Welcome to the 2023 edition of OU Room Live Tours!

OU Room Live Tours is an event organized by the OU PS! room where you can participate in Gen 9 OU Room Tournaments, earning points to qualify for a playoffs session and try to win a custom avatar of your choice!

The event will be composed of two phases. The first one will be a 4-week period of room tours during which players will try to gather the maximum number of points to qualify for the playoffs phase. The 16 best players will then be able to participate in the 4-week playoffs phase and compete for the winning spot.


The room tours phase

Each week, 4 Gen 9 OU room tours will be organized in the Pokemon Showdown! OU room: https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/overused. These tours will follow a predefined schedule given below. Only the tours scheduled here will count for this event and the leaderboard will be held here (it is not the leaderboard shown in the room). Scouting will be allowed during these room tours. Note that in the case where a game exceeds 200 turns, staff members will be able to either dq a player if there’s a clear winner or to randpick the winner to avoid delaying the whole tour.

The way points are awarded is as follow: winning a room tour will give you 5 points, second place will give 3 points, third and fourth place (people losing in semi-finals) will get 2 points, and fifth to eighth (people losing in quarter-finals) will get 1 point. Note that you can only win points from one out of the four tours each week, so if you reach top eight in the four tours of the week, you'll only get the points of your best performance.


Schedule
(this schedule is subject to small changes)
For this edition, the room tours will be hosted each Tuesday at 3 PM (GMT-4), each Thursday at 6 PM (GMT-4), each Saturday at 10 PM (GMT-4) and each Sunday at 10 AM (GMT-4). There will be four weeks of room tours, starting the week of Tuesday March 14th and ending on Sunday April 9th.

The playoffs phase

After 4 weeks of room tours, the 16 players with the most points will qualify for the playoffs phase. The playoffs phase will consist of four rounds (each round will last for one week) where people will get paired up with each other and will play in Gen 9 OU BO3. For the first round, each player will be seeded depending on their points (the player with the greatest number of points will be seed 1 and so on…) and the highest seeded players will face the lowest ones (seed 1 face seed 16, seed 2 face seed 15…). The 8 winning players will thus move to round 2. The 4 players winning their round 2 BO3 will move to round 3 and the 2 players winning in round 3 will move to the final round and play in a Gen9 OU BO5 to win the cycle and the custom avatar prize.

The playoffs will be hosted on this thread. At the end of the first phase, I’ll make a new post pinging the qualified players and giving them their pairings. They will then have a week to schedule and play their BO3 with their opponent (when you have a clear schedule, give it in advance to a staff member). The games will have to be linked in the Pokemon Showdown! OU room, and the replays will have to be posted in this thread.


Other information

You will need to have a Smogon account to take part to the playoffs phase, and we will ask you your Smogon account when you earn points for the first time in a room tour. If you don’t have one, you can still create one during the cycle, as there will be no restriction in term of date of creation of your account or number of messages.

Users banned from Smogon or blacklisted from the OU room on PS! are not eligible to participate.

If there is a tie in the leaderboard, players with the same number of points will be ranked according to the numbers of first places in a tour they have. If there’s still a tie with an impact on who qualify to the playoff, an additional BO3 (or several BO3 in case there’s more than two people) will be played at the beginning of the playoffs phase. If there's too many ties, we will use one more week to make sure all ties are solved before launching the playoffs phase.


I hope you will enjoy this event! If you have any question, feel free to contact me on Smogon, PS! or Discord (SetsuStsna#8387) or to reach out to any other OU room staff.

Many thanks to all the OU room staffs who helped organizing this event and who will be hosting the different tours! (also thanks to ironwater who I copied this from:))

Hey, the roomtours phase is over! A huge thanks to everyone who showed interest and was able to join us in the tours. Special thanks to the staff in Spanish room for having a repeated rfaq about the event, allowing us to expand our reach. The leaderboard has been updated to reflect the results of the 16 roomtours; as a reminder if there's a tie in points then players are separated based on the number of roomtours they won. With this in mind, here are the qualified players


The 1 remaining slot will be determined with a BO1 Round Robin Tiebreaker in SV OU between the following players:


Please play as early as you can, so we can take measures in case of a further tie happening down the line. Deadline for Tiebreakers is on Sunday April 16th at 11:59 PM (GMT-4).

Each player will have to contact their opponent (preferably on Smogon), schedule for a precise date and communicate this schedule (give the date with a GMT) with the OU room staff (you can contact either me here or on discord: SetsuStsna#8387). The games will have to be linked in the OU room of PS! (https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/overused). When you will be playing, link the game in the room saying it's for OURLT and ping a room staff (if there's one available to /wall it). If you win, link your replays in this thread to confirm your victory (don't forget to save replays).

If you have any question or if you need to ask for an activity win (don't ask before like Wednesday/Thursday though), feel free to contact me.

All the classic Smogon tournament rules apply there, see this post for more details: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/tournament-rules-and-general-guidelines.3642760/

This thread will be unlocked for playoffs, feel free to cheer up for your favorite player or to make predictions, but please stay respectful and avoid flooding the thread with multiple replies. Good luck to everyone!

Since Round 1 was posted before the Shed Tail ban and Cyclizar unban, and with multiple pairs having already played their series or scheduled for as soon as today, Shed Tail remains legal to use in Round 1, and Cyclizar remains banned.

To play your series you may challenge your opponent with the following format:

/challenge [username], gen 9 OU @@@ +Shed Tail, -Cyclizar (might be !Shed Tail Clause, depending on how the ban is implemented)

Any questions you can pm me on Discord at SetsuStsna#8387. Good luck!

A reminder that games have to be linked in OU room. This is a room event first and foremost, and we appreciate the interaction and emotion of watching the games live.

Preferably, you can pm a staff member when you are about to play so they can highlight the link.
