Highlight Matches
Lunar. vs kamikaze17
This was the immediate highlight match that really stuck out to me, and it just happens to be my own. I regularly play Lunar in Top Cut at events in my local VGC scene and he is a strong player who has also played in Doubles OU in the past, including in SPL. He was one of the guys I hoped would get far but looks like one of our roads will end Round 1.
n10sit vs Scythe.
This is a battle between a Doubles Main and former Grand Slam playoff qualifier who has demonstrated his ability to play multiple lower tiers. We will see if knowledge in the tier or experience grown from playing multiple tiers prevails.
- General tournament rules and regulations can be found here
- Grand Slam rules can be found here
- Standard ORAS Doubles OU
- Best of three, single elimination.
- Battles should take place on Pokemon Showdown!
- ORAS cartridge win conditions are in place, there are no ties
- Tiers are locked at the beginning of each round
Identity
I expect many battles to be completed under alts and I expect many battles to be completed on other servers to prevent scouting. These kind of factors are pretty bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.
Scouting
Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. It is the silliest thing I have ever heard, any battler worth their marbles has more than one team. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any forceful scouting, whether it be spying on another teams irc channel or following your opponent around on PO. There is a difference between "ipl is known for using stall" and "let me follow ipl around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter.
With that said, I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. However, given the fact that this is the big stage, I am sure a lot of people want to watch, so don't be too mean.
Timer Clause
As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment.
Disconnections
If a player disconnects and either player contends that they could still win, the optimal solution is to recreate the exact situation the disconnection occurred at during the battle. If it is agreed between players that this is not feasible due to unreasonable battle length, highly improbable circumstances, or some other reason, the player who did not disconnect may choose to rematch with either the same teams or (the option to use) new teams. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment. Do not do it.
I know that was a lot to read, but it is all necessary for me to have posted here so everyone can see it in the case of a dispute. I don't want any confusion or any problems.

kamikaze Specific Hosting Rules
- Contact your opponent as soon as possible (preferably through Smogon VM's since I can check it). Make your scheduling absolutely clear by specifying specific time, day, and timezone if you want to be favored in activity decisions (Dont just be like "lets play Thursday afternoon")
- If you contact with a method outside of smogon vm's then please post "contacted" in this thread so I am aware and wont sub you out
- I will be doing regular activity sweeps so subs can be given the chance to play if there is an inactive user in any matchup so please do one of the above within the next couple days. First activity sweep will be within 72 hours of the round going up
