ADV OU Dewford Cup #2
Welcome to the Dewford Cup ladder tournament. Please read this post thoroughly and be familiar Smogon's ADV OU ruleset, prior to signing up below. If you still have questions after reading this, you can always contact me on here in vm or pm or on discord as Dizno#1693

Tournament Format

  • For 4 weeks, you can register one alt per week. The 4 players alts that have reached the highest ratings on the Pokemon Showdown [Gen 3] OU ladder by the end of the week qualify for a 16-man BO3 single elimination stage.
  • In the first round of the elimination stage, 1st places will be paired with 4th and 2nd with 3rd places. Placing 5th qualifies you as a substitute, with the order of substitution determined by individual ladder rankings.
  • The winner of the tournament is declared the Dewford Cup Champion and receives an individual player trophy.
  • Each player must create a new alt each week over the course of the 4 weeks. Once a new week starts, last week's alt is no longer relevant. Meaning players have 1 week to reach as high as they can on ladder.
  • Signups close at Sunday 9:59pm gmt+1 each week, and reopen immediately for the next week.
  • For the first week, your alt name must be in the format "DLT1 (your alt name)"on Showdown, for the second week "DLT2 (your alt name)" and so on...

Each player must create a new alt each week. Players who finish in the top 4 of a particular week may not sign up for any further weeks as their position is secure in the elimination stage.

Shouldn't players be allowed to register again to improve their placing? Like if I place 4th the first week, I think I should be able to try to improve my seeding by placing higher in a following week.

It means I will have to keep a stricter tab on who the top players of a particular week were. eg i might have to bring up a dude who came 5th or 6th if you register again and do better. I have no problem with it though. I'll definitely do that if you'd prefer.
 
Let's see how I place week 1, then I'll tell you what I prefer.

Last year, players who placed top 4 in multiple weeks had multiple berths (one per top-4 placing) in the 16-person bracket, but if you think that kind of system is problematic, the way it is now works fine. Your call, I'm not the host.
