Welcome to Smogon VGC’s Spring Seasonal! This tournament will award points towards the 2024 VGC Circuit, which awards a prize banner and custom avatar to the winner of the entire circuit. If you win the seasonal itself, you will also get the "Seasonal Winner" role in the official Smogon VGC Discord! This year’s hosts are Akeras and LovelyLuna

SPECIFIC RULES

• This tournament will be played in VGC 2024 Regulation F.

• This tournament will be in Double Elimination.

• Every match will be in Best of Three, please use the built-in bo3 available when challenging. Matches MUST also be played with Open Team Sheets.

• We suggest to play your matches on Pokémon Showdown!, but playing on cartridge is allowed as long as both players agree and replays are provided.

• Replays are required for all matches. If neither player posts replays of the match, both players will suffer an automatic game loss. (If you were in losers' when you played, you are both out. If you were in winners', the winner is in losers' and the loser is out.)

HOW TO SCHEDULE
^ watch this if you don't know how
Message your opponent, preferably on their Smogon wall (linked in pairings) publically and work out a time between the two. Please be clear and timely with your scheduling so there is no confusion! Use concrete dates and times (with timezones) for clarity!
Don't say Friday at 5pm, say March 8th 17:00 GMT-4! (Just an example.)

CALLING ACTIVITY

You may find that your opponent will not respond to your attempts to schedule the game. If this happens, make sure these rules happen before calling activity:

• It must be at least halfway through the week. Don't expect people to respond to you and be prepared just as fast.

• If it's later in the week, you've been without a response for 24 hours.

• You should be scheduling on each other's Smogon wall, but if you're scheduling using Smogon PMs, Discord DMs, or Twitter DMs, please either post the scheduling conversation or send it to a host privately.

i dont understand many things what about the winners, when do we play?
In a double elimination tournament, the winner and the loser brackets must have the same size.

But whenever a classic round is over, there will be two times more people in the loser bracket than in the winner bracket. So starting on round 3, losers must play an additional round every other one.

Basically:
X people in the winner bracket, X/2 win, X/2 lose
X people in the loser bracket, X/2 win, X/2 lose

Now you have X/2 people in the winner bracket, X/2 people out of the tournament, but 2*X/2 people in the loser bracket: those who won in loser and those who lost in winner.

So to come back to the "same amount of people in each bracket", the losers from the winner bracket face off against the winners from the loser bracket.

I hope it makes sense, I'm not really good at explaining with long sentences.
