Randbats Spotlight Tournament
Welcome to the eight bimonthly Spotlight Tour! This iteration will feature the recently elected Gen 9 Chimera 1v1 Random Battle format. This tournament is your chance to showcase your skills in Chimera 1v1 in a single elimination best-of-5 series.
What is Gen 9 Chimera 1v1?
In this bizarre metagame, you are given a team of 6 Pokémon, to combine into one powerful "chimera", to use in a 1v1 battle. At Team Preview the order you pick your Pokémon determines what trait you give to this “chimera”. Starting from first to last, you are going to determine type (and name/appearance), item, ability, stats, moves 1-2 and moves 3-4 with the pokemon you pick, ready to face off against the opponent's creation!
Prizes
The winner of the Spotlight Tournament will receive the Room Prize Winner rank in the Random Battles room for a month and the possibility to pick a format for the next Randbats Spotlight poll!
How does the tour work?
It’s simple:
1. Contact your opponent on their Smogon wall and decide on a time to battle.
2. Battle each other in the format “Gen 9 Chimera 1v1 Random Battle”. This format can be found under 'Randomized Format Spotlight', at the top of the third column. Alternatively, use /challenge (gen 9) Chimera 1v1 Random Battle. You can also run the entire series and keep track of the results of each game with /challenge (gen 9) Chimera 1v1 Random Battle@@@bestof=5
3. The first player to 3 wins advances to the next round.
Note that this tournament will end before the next Randbats Spotlight Ladder commences, i.e., before July 2024. This will determine the pace of the tournament. For this reason, extensions will generally NOT be granted.
Please note:
1. All scheduling attempts MUST be done publicly on Smogon Walls. No other proof of communication will count for act calls regarding scheduling attempts.
2. You MUST post replays of your wins.
We strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with the Smogon Tournament Rules and General Guidelines, if you haven’t already. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to contact the tour hosts, Celever, adorluigi and 35Q71N here on Smogon.
How do I sign up?
Just post “in”!
Disclaimer: it's possible that if the current signups slightly exceed the number required to have a perfect bracket and we are not far from the deadline, the players in excess will become subs. We strongly advise to post your signup quickly if you are interested to play in this tournament.
DEADLINE is Sunday 12th (yes, it's 10 days from now) at 11:59 GMT+-0
