HODOR! Welcome to the THIRD Smogon Classic. This tournament celebrates Smogon's and Pokemon's history throughout the years. Players will compete in separate tournaments for the RBY, GSC, ADV, DPP, and BW generations, culminating in a finals where players must play all generations with this amazing trophy on the line:



This edition of Classic will be unchanged from the previous two iterations. However, our decision to continue including only the five OU tiers furthest from the Current Generation OU creates a new - and permanent - split. These five tiers will be locked henceforth and will be considered "Classic" tiers. For fans of ORAS (and eventually SM, GEN8OU, etc.), do not despair! We will be offering an alternative avenue to prove competitive success in these tiers.


The format consists of five separate tournaments: The BW Cup, The DPP Cup, The ADV Cup, The GSC Cup, and The RBY Cup. Each tournament is single elimination, best of three. Depending on your performance in a Cup, you will be awarded points. The point system is the same as the one used in Smogon Tour (see this for further explanation). When all the Cups have been finished, the twelve players with the most points will advance to the play-offs. There they will battle in a best of five series until there is one undisputed Smogon Classic champion.


Signups for each Cup will be posted a week after the signups for the previous Cup. The hosts are allowed to play in the tournament that they are administering, as long as they elect someone else to create pairings. Here is the list of the five Cups with the names of the hosts and the dates each will be posted:

  • The BW Cup - Hosted by Finchinator - March 27th
  • The DPP Cup - Hosted by Jirachee - April 3rd
  • The ADV Cup - Hosted by BKC - April 3rd
  • The GSC Cup - Hosted by Malekith - April 10th
  • The RBY Cup - Hosted by Golden Gyarados - April 10th

If there are any questions, post in this thread and I will answer them as well as I can. Do not use this thread as a venue to complain about the format.

Each tier will lock at the beginning of its respective cup. This means that should any past-gen tiering evaluations happen during the process of their respective cup or the playoffs, the tiers themselves will not change.

Have fun and good luck to everyone competing!
