Hey everyone, Smogon's server was specified as the best place for completing your battles, since Rukario was having technical difficulties with updating our server. Though we were expecting that to last for about a month, it has been fixed now! Our server has been updated with Mega Lopunny, Gardevoir, and Gallade.

Tournament Update: We are nearing 72 hours left in the group phase! We only have three matches that need completion (see below). Please schedule and play these games at your earliest convenience.

FireSnow vs. Aaron
wolf vs. Noa
Aurora vs. Decidueye

There are a number of ties, which up until now, I have not specified a process for determining. Since Serebii is a good week behind us in their tournament, we will likely hold additional matches. However, I will wait until all of the initial group phase matches are completed to ensure the most efficient way for finalizing our results.

Group phase is just about coming to a close! Aurora vs. Decidueye is still outstanding and the deadline has passed. I will give that match until 7/22 Saturday 11:59 EDT to be completed before I coin flip the outcome! If possible, complete it before that time.

The group results will largely determine the seeding of our team we put up against Serebii. Here is an outline on the order of factors that will be applied to the seeding:

[1] Rank outcome within the group [1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th],
[2] Individual record, and
[3] Head-to-head record.

Therefore, with a number 1 group rank and a 3-0 record, Choice Specs earns the top seed. The Waterfront and Foot Groups both have ties at 2-1 (the latter will when the final match is decided). The tie in the Foot Group will be able to be determined using individual head-to-head record between the two participants. However, the Waterfront Group has a three-way tie without an individual head-to-head advantage, so that will be sorted out through a round robin.

Deadline: 7/27 Thursday 12:00 EDT

The winner of the round robin will be given the number 2 seed by virtue of a 4-1 record. The player with the head-to-head advantage from the Foot Group will be given the number 3 seed by virtue of a 2-1 record and group rank of 1st. The player who splits matches in the round robin will be given the number 4 seed by virtue of a 3-2 record. The loser of the round robin will be given the number 5 seed. The player with the head-to-head disadvantage from the Foot Group will be given the number 6 seed since that will formally drop their group rank to 2nd. Aaron is ranked 2nd in a group with a 3-0 player and will therefore be given the number 7 seed.

Moving to the 1-2 records, we have Dragon ranked 3rd in his group. There will be a player ranked 3rd with the head-to-head advantage in the Foot Group (Aurora or wolf). As such, the fourth match needed is the following:

Dragon vs. TBA (Aurora or wolf)

Deadline: 7/27 Thursday 12:00 EDT

The winner of this match will earn the number 8 seed and the loser will take the number 9 seed. Depending upon the outcome of the final group phase match, Decidueye or wolf will then assume the number 10 seed. To determine the number 11 and 12 seeds, the following match will take place:

FireSnow vs. Nah

Deadline: 7/27 Thursday 12:00 EDT
