Signups for UU tour [MINI-TOUR] Congratulations ShiningYin

Question

Sup Im hosting a UU tour as it is described in the title. The recent UU rises and drops will shake up the tier significantly and it is worth checking them out while they're still in the tier(or not).

Rules
This tournament will follow the Smogon UU rules and clauses, which can be found here.

The tournament will also follow a Best of 3 format, which means the first person to get 2 wins will take the round.

Throw in that Showdown username and timezone so we can get this started.

Signups deadline end on the 26th of July so no pressure
yah yeet y'all stink

UU Suspect Test

UU is suspecting Mega Venusaur. The requirements to vote are a GXE of 80 as well as a minimum of 40 games played on the UU ladder. Note that there will not be a suspect ladder for this test. This suspect test will run until August 4th. More information can be found here.

Yeah Mega Venusaur is getting banned with 54% of the votes.

---

Glad it got banned tbh. Even though I didn't think it was broken in any way, it was just very irritating to face :) I can see Venusaurite getting resuspected in the future.

---

So now it’s UUBL?

---

Yes it is.

Answer 1

>Anyway I expect to see greatness from both combatants

Yeah idk if I can do that ;(

---

Haha
But I believe in you! Come on! Go go eXcessive Rangers, tuuun tuun tiii tuuu tuuu tuuu, fam foreveeer, eXcessive togetheeeeer! tuuu tuu tuu tuuu tuiii tuuu

---

Good luck to you both.

---

GO GO BOTH OF U

---

This is solid evidence that using byes on the first round makes the whole tournament unfair. (also letting Yin sign up makes the whole tournament unfair)

---

@sumwun since it’s a bracket tournament and 14 people signed up, what else are we supposed to do?

---

Let everyone fight in the first round and have byes in the second and third rounds.

---

I fail to see how this made it unfair but w/e

---

Byes in the second and third round make it arguably easier to get to finals then getting byes in the first. This just happens to be two people who skipped a round in the finals. It's nothing to do with the byes system.

ggs my guy, was nice to dabble in this tier again. 2nd tour w achieved.

---

At least I wasn't 6-0ed *both* games...

---

Thanks everyone for the tournament. We should have more of these.

---

We're specifically not having too many tournaments lol, this one went on longer than expected so there likely won't be another for a month at least

GGS thecarnapper!

---

Well sumwun and i were able to get in 1 game in which i won https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokemondatabase-gen7uu-4485
After the game he said he had to go so we couldn’t play afterward, today we met up on the server again but he wasn’t able to play me. Personally think i should move on in the tourney if we can’t get in the second game in the next few hours, I’ll try to be on the server for the time being but I’m mobile so I’ll flash out every now and then

---

I just beat melcakes.

Please provide replays of the battles
Battles are due August 3rd

Dudeicolo vs sumwun

thecarnapper vs Gekky

Jofly vs TheSmasher1386

Molthree vs LeafyBlade

MechSteelix vs SeeYaLater

melcakes vs PX

ShiningYin and excess get a bye

Comments

well i guess thecranpper and geckky are eliminated

---

Battles are due tomorrow, so not yet. Also, whoever made the most commitment to battling gets the win.

---

i thought it was due august 2nd and its august 3rd for me

---

carnapper has been on the server multiple times a day looking for gekky, i do not think i have seen gekky at all, carnapper should move on rather than be dq'd

---

School's made me less active for the past weeks. Not that there is no fault on me, I dont think been looking as hard as carnapper for the battle. I think I'm just gonna forfeit if we dont battle soon.

Answer 4

Round 3 is up

Battles are due August 14

Note: Venusaur will still be playable for the remainder of the tournament despite being banned

Comments

@sumwun ok, but neither am I, so I have a pretty decent chance of losing lol

---

If Mega-Venusaur is allowed, what formats will battles be played in? OU?

---

Yes in OU.
