🎯 Our Mission

The Crown Fight Tour was created to provide a highly competitive environment for players who want to improve, prepare for official events, and test their teams against strong opponents.

We aim to offer serious tournament practice that rewards skill, preparation, adaptation, and sportsmanship.

⚖️ Competitive Integrity

Kampfstube is built on fair and competitive play.

To maintain tournament integrity:

🎮 Every player must compete independently
🚫 Outside assistance of any kind is prohibited
🚫 Ghosting, coaching, account sharing, or receiving advice during a match is strictly forbidden
⚠️ Tournament staff may investigate and enforce penalties when necessary

Fair competition is essential to the spirit of the Crown Fight Tour.

🤝 Player Conduct

All participants are expected to treat their opponents with respect before, during, and after their matches.

Please remember:

👋 Greet your opponent before the match
🤝 Show respect regardless of the result
💬 A simple "GG" after the set is considered standard sportsmanship
🚫 Harassment, toxicity, or unsportsmanlike behavior will not be tolerated

Do not blame luck. Focus on your decisions, learn from your games, and continue improving.

Your opponent is not responsible for RNG, and maintaining a respectful attitude is expected from all competitors.

These standards reflect the expectations seen at Regional Championships, International Championships, and other high-level Pokémon events.
