Tournament Rules:

• General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
• Format: Gen 8 ZU with additional bans listed in the spoiler above.
• Bringing a Pokemon not legal for SS SU will result in a forfeit of that match, please double check your teams.
• Best of three, single elimination
• Battles should take place on Pokemon Showdown!
• Standard battle clauses
• Replays are required!

Scheduling Recommendations:

• Contact your opponent as soon as possible. Include what your available times are and your timezone in this initial contact.
• When scheduling, offer the widest range of time possible to play. Just mentioning one or two specific times is likely insufficient.
• Schedule specifically - do not schedule for "Friday afternoon" or "Sunday morning", pick a date, a time and note the timezone.
• If you both are unable to find a time to schedule, you may request an extension (which are given at the hosts' discretion)

Ty to everyone for joining and especially to missangelic for hosting! Had fun building and playing with semi-familiar mons and I like the general feel of the tier. If nothing else let this be proof of the fact that the zu ladder was really bad. (like fr Jynx is legal but Runerigus isn't)

Congrats to OranBerryBlissey10 for winning the SS SU Sendoff Tour!!! You're a great friend and amazing player, and I'm glad to see you place in finals. Your teams and knowledge make this tier so much better! And another big shoutout to AstilCodex : I couldn't ask for a better co-TL and you put forth an amazing showing in this tour!

I also want to thank everyone who participated! You all helped give this little tier a great curtain call. I'm so grateful for all of the support you've given gen 8, and I'm happy to debut SV SU starting today!

Gl to both.
