Tournament Format The tournament will be in a Swiss format. This means players will play a guaranteed number of matches (depending on the number of entrants) and will be paired with a player with a similar record for each match. After all players play their guaranteed matches, the top 8 will be entered into the final bracket and will play in a single elimination tournament! Player Sheets Each player will be given a player sheet and their Pokémon sheet before the competition starts. After every match, players are expected to record the score of the match and get the other player’s signature to verify. Each player will then bring their sheet to the tournament organizer so the results can be tallied and the next round can be organized.

Team Sheets

Each player will be provided with a team sheet. Their team sheet will have all the information about their team except their EVs and IVs. Before each match. Competitors are expected to exchange team sheets, and they are to be returned after the match. If an opponent's team doesn’t match their team sheet, a judge is to be called over, and the match will be forfeited.

Further Info Any use of battle and/or damage calculators or external help is not allowed. Any player found using one will be given an automatic game forfeit.
