The event will have 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 8 top on the leaderboard at the end of the period will then be able to participate in a single elimination Bo3 tournament and compete for the winning prize.
The Room Tours Phase Each week, 4 Gen 9 RU room tours will be organized in the Pokemon Showdown! RU room: https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/rarelyused. These tours will follow a predefined schedule given below. Only the tours scheduled here will count for this event and the leaderboard will be shown in the thread. All other tours created not within the scheduled times do NOT count. The way points are awarded is as follows: 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 three tours each week, so if you reach top eight in the three tours of the week, you'll only get the points of your best performance. |
Schedule | For this edition, the room tours will be hosted each Monday at 3 PM (GMT-4), each Tuesday at 8 PM (GMT+8), each Friday at 6:30 PM (GMT-4), and each Saturday at 9 PM (GMT-4). There will be four weeks of room tours. The room tours will start a week from today on May 8, 2023 and will last until June 5, 2023. After the room tours phase, the play offs will then commence. |
The Playoffs Phase | After 4 weeks of room tours, the 8 players will compete in a single elimination Bo3 tournament. The winner of this playoffs tournament will then receive the grand prize of Room Voice in the RU room! |
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 RU room on PS! are not eligible to participate. 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. 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 qualifies 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. One last note is that Room Voice is an opportunity to be more immersed with the RU community and can be tentative for the sake of the room's professionalism. All we ask is that you aren't mean and psycho to other users and you should be good! Feel free to message me or Kableye with any questions or concerns, we are open to change to run the best and most fair tour possible. Good luck tributes, and May the Odds be ever in your favor. |
