Tournament rules:
- There is no team preview. Battles start with the first Pokemon in the teambuilder slot being sent out right away. Players will not know what Pokemon the other has until that Pokemon is sent out. (So basically, the same way that battles from Gens 1/2/3/4 start.)
- The winners/losers of each battle are required to post all replays. If a replay is not provided by the end of the round, the battle will be determined incomplete and a coin-flip will determine who will move on.
- Best of three, double elimination.
- This tournament will use the standard National Dex ban list, which can be found here.
- If metagame changes occur during the middle of a round, they will take effect in the subsequent round.
- Battles must take place on Pokemon Showdown! or the SmogTours server
- Sw/Sh cartridge win conditions are in place; there are no ties.
- A list of National Dex specific mechanics can be found here.
