Welcome to the Ubers UU Epic Ladder Gaming Tour!
The bracket phase will be a single elimination tournament in the Ubers UU format with a (currently) $200 cash prize. Payouts will go to 4th place ($25), 2nd place (50$) and First ($100)! This will be a single elimination best of three tournament held in the Ubers UU format on Pokemon Showdown. In the grand finals and last week, a best of 5 will be played instead. All replays must be posted to the round's thread for a win to count, and each round will take one week.
Standard Rules and Clauses

- Sleep Clause: A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokémon.
- Species Clause: A player cannot have two of the same Pokémon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffing on his or her team.
- Evasion Clause: A player cannot use the moves Double Team or Minimize in their Pokémon's movesets.
- OHKO Clause: Players cannot use Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, or Fissure in any of their Pokémon's movesets.
- Team Preview: Players must turn on the Team Preview feature where players can view the opposing team's Pokémon and choose their lead Pokémon.

Maintain a sportsman-like Conduct
- In the case you are found asking for wins under ANY circumstance, you will be barred from participating in the tour.
- In the case you are found forfeiting to boost your friend's score, you will be barred from participating in the tour.
- Any attempt to manipulate the system to give yourself an unfair advantage will result in severe sanctions
- Abide by the Tournament Rules and General Guidelines
- In short: keep it clean
About Activity Decisions
Activity Decisions / Coin Flips: In the event that there is an uncompleted match at the deadline, it will be coin flipped unless one or both of the players involved in the match specifically request an activity win and explain sufficiently why they deserve to win over their opponent. Attempting to schedule a battle is required in order to receive the win by activity. To make it clear that you are requesting an activity win when you post, you must open your post with "Activity Win Request" in bold.
For example, if you believe your opponent is making an unfair request and that they don't deserve the activity win over you, you can either make your own request or quote their post and explain why they don't deserve it. You should try to make your activity win request posts at least 24 hours before the deadline to give your opponent a reasonable opportunity to contest it with their own activity win request.
Host discretion will be applied for all unplayed games. This means that an activity win will not be automatically granted if you post, and a lack of post does not automatically result in a coinflip.

On Who Qualified
We've included the best candidates from each week into the bracket! Here were our criteria:
- From Most Weeks, we included the top seven ladderers as well as one from the room tour for the week
- In week 2, the winner of the room tour was already qualified. Therefore, we included the 8th ranked ladderer
- In week 3, we failed to host a ladder tour. Therefore, we included the 8th ranked ladderer
