Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Re: Format
We have decided on teams having 8 starters and 4 substitutes.
Also, after deliberation we have decided to extend the semifinals a week. This means the tournament will start on the 5th of December.
RE: Flutter Mane & Tatsugiri
Following a quick ban slate, Flutter Mane and Tatsugiri have been banned from SV DOU. This will take effect for this tournament next round, and Flutter Mane and Tatsugiri will remain legal for the remainder of the Pool phase. You may have to challenge in Doubles Ubers.
