Per the royal decree of esteemed user 1TP, February 2021 is hereby declared to be...
EVENTS:
Series 8 Cartridge Kickoff Tournament
Time: February 5th, 8pm-11pm EST
This is an unofficial friendly competition held on the Switch to explore the new Series 8 format. Sharpen your Zacian's sword and trim your Yveltal's wings as you attempt to climb as high as possible on the competition ladder! You will have 3 hours to play up to 25 games before the competition ends and scores are tallied. If you do well enough, you might earn a small amount of CP for the 2021 BSS Circuit as outlined here!
See the competition thread for full instructions on how to register!
Series 7 Newcomer Live Tour
Time:
Interested in gaining some BSS tournament experience without worrying about playing a circuit champion Round 1? This is the tournament for you! Participants should be newer to BSS - if you're a former Invitationals player, seasonal champ, or roomstaff; this isn't the tour for you. The winners of each live tour will play each other in a Bo3 the following week to determine the inaugural Newcomer Tournament champ!
Series 8 Ghosting Live Tour
Time:
Friendship is in the air on Smogon during Valentine's Day weekend, can you feel it? Team up with a friend for the first ever BSS Ghosting Tour and see if you have the combined brainpower to take home the title! While only one player will be in control of the game, the other teammate can offer advice as to how to proceed. We're looking for as many veteran-beginner pairs as possible, so if you have a buddy who's looking to pick up BSS this is the perfect tournament for them. The winners of each live tour will play each other in a Bo3 the following week to determine who the best ghosting duo is!
BSS Factory Live Tour
Time:
No team? No problem! Join us for a fun and totally random tournament using the newly released Gen 8 BSS Factory format. Roll the dice and rage about the bad Zapdos matchups as you try to take home the title of randbats champ. The winners of each roomtour will play a final Bo3 to see who truly has the luck and skill to be the first BSS Factory champ.
