​
Welcome, Smogon, to the first edition of RU Majors! This is the premier edition of an annual RU Circuit Tour where you can test your mettle against the top players in the community. Unlike most elimination tours, where your opponent is a matter of chance, RU Majors ensures that every participant plays a broad swath of the tier's playerbase as you fight your way to the top.

The tournament is divided into two stages - a round-robin qualifier and an elimination bracket. During Stage 1, players will be divided into pools, where they will play every other member of the pool in a best-of-one round robin. High prolific players will be selected as 'Pool leaders' to ensure that each pool is as fair as can be.

At the end of Stage 1, each player will be ranked within his or her pool. The top two players of each pool will advance to Stage 2, where they will be entered into a single elimination bracket. As you progress through Stage 2, you'll be awarded varying levels of RU Circuit Points, as well as a small number of points for anyone who makes it to Stage 2.

Tour Specific Rules:
  • Stage 2 matches will be best-of-three. You may switch teams between games.
  • You must be active in scheduling with your opponents. Use the VM Wall to contact your opponents.
  • Replays must be posted / must be public. If you don't have them available I'm flipping your matchup.
Standard Rules & Clauses:
  • This is a standard SM RU tournament.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown.
  • Saving replays is mandatory, in the case of a dispute you must be able to prove that you won your game.
  • Sleep Clause: A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokémon.
  • Species Clause: A player cannot have two of the same Pokémon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffing on his or her team.
  • Evasion Clause: A player cannot use the moves Double Team or Minimize in their Pokémon's movesets.
  • OHKO Clause: Players cannot use Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, or Fissure in any of their Pokémon's movesets.
  • Timer Clause: If a player exhausts the timer, he/she loses.
  • Endless Battle Clause: Any moveset on any pokemon that is capable of intentionally causing an endless battle is banned from competitive play.

Just to clear up some confusion about the rules: as stated in the OP, replays are in fact required for this part of the tournament. Failure to post them will result in a series being coin flipped.

As a final note, precedent does not decide the rules for the RU circuit, that falls under the RU circuit leaders, which are arifeen and myself. Also, there is no precedent anyway... In their most recent iterations, UU required replays to be saved, NU required replays to be saved and posted. It only took me two minutes to fact check that.
