How to schedule. PLEASE READ OR YOU WILL BE SUBBED OUT.
*****
We received 67 total signups for SM Cup. By Smogon tournament convention, to make an even bracket of 64 players, 3 players will be relegated to substitutes and will be subbed in should activity concerns arise early in the first round. The first 5/8 of 64 are locked in and cannot be made substitutes (64*5/8 = 40), which means the remaining 3/8 (64 * 3/8 = 24) slots will be determined via lottery from the remaining signups, with three players relegated as substitutes. Substitutes were determined by the Smogon bracketmaker and are listed below. If you did not sign up initially but also wish to play, you may have a chance to do so by posting in as sub in this thread, where priority to substitutes will be given on a first come, first served basis.
Current priority for subs:
bage1
LogIce
robjr
**IMPORTANT**
To maximize the number of completed matches, in round one only, I will be checking for activity to determine substitutes on Thursday, May 18th by 10:00 PM Eastern time (GMT-4). Please schedule publicly so I can verify if contact has been established. If you have not established scheduling by that time, or you have scheduled privately (e.g. via Discord or Smogon PM) and not mentioned it to me or on either player's wall, you risk being subbed out by a player waiting to play. Please post on this thread or let me know if you have scheduled privately!!
