The Labyrinth Cup
February 1st - February 28th, 2021

Announcing February's Global Cup: The Labyrinth Cup!
Get ready for a new challenge beginning on February 1st! With it comes a new chance to prove your skill and increase your global and local player ranking! The Labyrinth Cup – a contest fought on an enigmatic battlfield - follows the same basic rules as all Silph Arena global cups, but this month it comes with a special twist! Here's what you need to know:

What Is The Labyrinth Cup?
Each month the Silph Arena holds a month-long Cup - a 'themed' PvP tournament - that provides tens of thousands of trainers around the world a specially-designed competitive challenge and a chance to prove they're the very best. The Silph Arena is the world's largest global network for ranked Pokémon GOTM tournament play.
During the Cup (February 1st - February 28th), local Silph League communities host and record a special tournament using the free Silph.gg tools. Wins and losses in this local tournament affect your player rank on local and global leaderboards - and may eventually even earn you an invitation to compete at Regionals and even the Continental or World Championships held at the end of the season!
All players are welcome to compete, whether it's your first tournament or your hundredth! Find a local tournament near you on the Tournament Map!
Reminder: only remote events are permitted through February!
Labyrinth Cup Rules
The Labyrinth Cup has a few special rules (designed to provide added challenge and fun) that differ from standard PvP combat in Pokemon GO:
- Team of 6: Competitors will bring a team of 6 Pokemon (and register them before the tournament begins). All battle parties used must be comprised of these 6 Pokemon.
- Great League: Matches are played in Great League: only Pokemon up to 1500 CP are permitted in the Cup.
-
Unique Types: Only one of any type is allowed on your roster of 6 – no repeats! For example, if Whiscash is on your team, no other members can be Water or Ground type.
- Mega Pokémon, Wobbuffet, Azumarill, Medicham, Mew, Stunfisk (Galarian), Deoxys (Defense form), Cresselia, Hypno, Umbreon, Machamp, Scrafty, Sirfetch’d, Altaria, Bastiodon, Primeape, and Swampert are not eligible to use in the Labyrinth Cup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Community Leader Questions:
How Do I Host a Labyrinth Cup Tournament in My Community?
Simply log in to Silph.gg with an authorized Community Leader account and create a Cup tournament on your community management page. You will be given an RSVP url to share with your community and, on the day of the tournament, a join code
to confirm your tournament's registrants. For a guide to setting up your tournament on Silph.gg, click here.
How Do I Become Authorized to Host Tournaments on Silph.gg?
All Silph League Discord community admins simply need to add themselves as 'Tournament Admins' via the Discord @SilphRoad
bot:
- On Discord, use the
@SilphRoad add-tournament-admin @username#0000
command in your#silph-league
channel. (You may need to log out of Silph.gg and back in again!)
Telegram channel and group admins are automatically authorized on Silph.gg.
Can I host multiple Labyrinth Cups in my community in February?
Yes. However, only one Labyrinth Cup will have significant impact in the participant’s Global Ranking. Participants can choose at at any point before they report their final round if they want that specific Cup to be weighted more heavily than the others.
Does the Labyrinth Cup have to be hosted on a specific date?
Any date between February 1st and February 28th, 2021 is a valid date to hold your community's Labyrinth Cup. The tournament registration page will not allow registering your Cup for an invalid date or time - so as long as you are able to create your tournament on Silph.gg, you will know it is set for a valid date.
I am a community leader of a Facebook Group (or other platform like Slack, Line, etc). How do I host the Labyrinth Cup Cup for my community?
The Arena team is working quickly to enable non-Discord/Telegram communities to host the Cup. Stay tuned for news on this front!
Participant Questions:
How Do I Join a Labyrinth Cup Tournament in My Community?
Find a local Cup being hosted by a community near you via the Tournament Map and read the event details on the event's RSVP page!
How Important Are Monthly Cups for My Player Rank?
Very. The vast majority of player rank in the Arena is derived from performance in the global, standardized Cups. (This is because Cups allow the Arena to observe the same controlled competitive scenarios for each player!)
Why is the Labyrinth Cup played in Great League?
Great League (max 1500cp) provides a diverse, new playing field with many options for creative, competitive teams. It also allows more casual players to join tournaments at meetups without being completely unable to compete with level 40+ trainers who often sport the same level 40 (or higher) Pokemon. Great League also marks immediately irrelevant much of the amassed arsenal of those who manipulate their GPS location ('spoof') to circumvent in-game mechanic limiters and acquire unnatural advantages.
Where can I learn more about global player ranking?
You can learn more about Global Player Rankings by reading our Guide to Player Rank.
