Hey gang! I'm spearheading the creation of NatDex UU's very own circuit with the help of Arishem. But before we can come to a hard decision, we decided it was best to get some community input on how to set this up properly for an enjoyable experience throughout the year. Anyone, from newcomers to veterans, is allowed to participate and we heavily encourage you guys to do so.
Tournament Ideas:
*NatDex Grand Slam is unconfirmed so UU Open is unconfirmed as a result
Tournament Types:
Seasonals: Type A, best-of-3, double-elimination tournaments.
Open / Last Chance: Type B, best-of-3, elimination tournaments.
Cup: Type C, best-of-3-elimination tournaments.
Circuit Playoffs: best-of-3, elimination tournament, 8/16 player seed based off performance throughout the year.
POINTS TO DISCUSS:
**unserious tours such as Rigged or Economy would also not count towards circuit playoffs
We plan to come to a decision after 10 days of discussion so feedback is heavily appreciated.
Tournament Ideas:
- Winter/Summer/Fall Seasonals
- Open (As apart of NatDex Grand Slam)*
- Ladder Tournament
- Gen 8 Tournament
- Last Chance
- Circuit Playoffs

- Should circuit playoffs be 8 or 16 players?
- Should it be a best-of-3 or a best-of-5?
- what should the prize be (that is in the scope of our capabilities, ergo no Custom Avatar / Ribbon / Trophy)?
- Should team tours (NDUUPL/Trios/Ghosting) be included?*
- Do we have the playerbase to sustain them?
- How many should we have?
- Are there any other tournaments that should be included that weren't mentioned?**
