Time to Ramp it Up! ROUND 3!
Welcome, one and all, to the UnderUsed edition of this year’s RBY Low Tier Circuit! Round 3 shows signs that things are gonna be picking up pace, some good talent clashing this week. The tour might have started with a whimper but let’s fix that and push forward harder than ever! Let’s see some earth shaking, because this late in the tour there’s little time to slow down!
As a reminder, this tour is worth about 1/8 of the total points towards the RBY Low Tier Circuit, and we're doing single-elim in this RBY Low Tier Circus, so don’t hold back. Make sure your scheduling is on point, because one act case can get ya dropped - which is unfortunate, but that’s how this tour works. Remember, though, to be kind to your opponents - both in scheduling and in battling.
Formalities? No time for that. Here’s some handy spoilers if ya need ‘em, though.
- General Tournament Rules: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/tournament-rules-and-general-guidelines.3642760/
- This will be a single elimination, best of three tournament… as fun as other formats may be, this is what higher-ups told me to run, so that’s what we’re running.
- All tournament games must be played on Pokemon Showdown!, and replays are required for all rounds. It is preferable to play on Smogtours - if players disagree on which server to play on, Smogtours is the default.
- Each round will last one week. If you and your opponent are unable to schedule despite both players making an effort, extensions of up to 3 days may be granted. If one player fails to attend a scheduled time or does not make a genuine effort to schedule, an activity win may be awarded to the other player at the tournament host's discretion. If neither player makes an effort to schedule, the host may "coinflip" the win, awarding it at random. Please schedule publicly so as to ensure activity wins are judged correctly. See the Tournament Scheduling Guidelines for further information. If, for any reason, you have questions regarding scheduling or activity cases, please be civil about it and feel free to ask your hosts as needed.
