Week 1 is the week beginning the 24th of July (in a week). You can always sub in to losers bracket on week 2 if you can’t play week 1

I could play week 1 but doubt I could play past that for the next 2 weeks so it's fine. Hmu if anyone wants to practice.

Hi! Welcome to the Tier Shift Kickoff! This is our first tour of the gen (sorry for the lateness), and also the first instance of a post-Home meta, so its almost guaranteed to be an extremely dynamic tournament. In addition, the winner of this tour will receive a Nitro Monthly gift as a prize. Good luck to those who enter, but more importantly, have fun!!​

Tournament Rules:

• The tour is double elimination and sets will be best of 3. The winner will receive a gifted month of Nitro.
• General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
• The banlist for this tournament can be found here.
• If metagame changes occur during the middle of a round, they will take effect in the subsequent round.
• Tier Shift as a meta is completely reliant on standard play, and is subject to their metagame changes as well. Therefore, all games must take place on SmogTours! Sets played on the normal Showdown server must be replayed, and repeat offenders will be disqualified.
• Replays must be posted alongside the result. Repeat offenders will be disqualified.
• Do not make baseless activity posts; get in contact with your opponent and report missed times / scheduling issues only.

Signups close on July 24th 2023, at 6:00AM (UTC+0), or earlier if we hit a good amount of signups.

Post "in" to signup!

Put me tf in, it's time to shift the tiers of time (no dialga needed)

Is there any way for me to play more tier shift games before the tournament begins?

You can join the tier shift discord
Join the Other Meta discord (I’m not apart of it, but I’m assuming there would be some players willing to battle)
Join the “Other Metas” room on showdown, they host tier shift tours and you can also ask people to play there.

Your best bet is asking on the OMs room on PS as suggested above

The chall code is correct, it appears I have forgot to update the tier shift OP. Completely on me, sorry for the confusion!

If you have the replays, I would greatly appreciate you posting them after you've played your R1 opponent

Wait I thought all matches start on August 1st. Do I need to challenge my partner before the deadline?
