Could we just reveal teams once/if we've been chosen?
Sure thing, that's actually a way better idea. Gonna update the thread now.
I found a really awesome bracket generator that is also editable. We will be using this to sign up and keep the bracket going. Players can report their own scores (if there is a conflict/cheat it can be brought up in this thread. This is the tournament (when more than 16 players register it will crate a wait list at which point if there are a lot of people we can switch to double elimination). Adding this info to the first post now.
So down for this. I wish I could show off some of my older Pokemon but it might be fun to build a new team too. Hopefully I'm done in time, because I don't even bother with natures in the course of the campaign, so using those particular dudes probably won't go so well.
I usually don't spend much time on the forums around here, but the idea of a tournament sounds really appealing to me. I got pretty into the IDEA of competitive battling last gen, but mostly to the end of fighting my friends, so it would be pretty neat to have a place for this kind of thing.
But yeah, with no transfer yet, all my breeding Pokemon are stuck on the old DS, so it would be pretty hard to get something together that are up to my old (admittedly lame) standards.
Don't sweat the readiness levels! The game is still new so everyone's got a shot more or less.
This is going to be awesome! And just to clarify, by 12 AM on the 20th you mean tonight, right?
Correct. When it is 12:01 on the 20th, registration would have been open for1 minute already.
I am sooo down for this, been EV training since I beat it and getting some team options ready.
Either you signed up ahead of time or someone decided to play a prank. Either way, I have removed you from the tournament so please sign up when registration opens.
Man, I'm really tempted to do this -- have only had time to breed 1 pokemon so far but if it's allowed I think I could body anything with just this one honestly. ;) By no legendaries, are we talking official or things deemed "uber" from other leagues/tiers?
I'm not incredibly active here, mostly lurking and checking the main site. That being said, I'm 14 hours in, only defeated half the gyms, have a somewhat lame team put together and just a couple hours to play each day? I'm going to get creamed, but it should be fun!
Edit: Brad is both my DS and Trainer name.
Active really just means that you didn't sign up on the site just for the tournament, don't worry.
@perfectlizardwizard: We are not using tiers this season, just the legendary ban.
Signed up. I am only on the fourth gym but I am in the midst of a push to get a more varied team together so this should be a lot of fun.
I actually don't really know how to do the crazy training stuff works but I have signed up anyway and will join if there is room.
Shit, didn't make it in time. Probably for the best, my single player team doesn't look anything like the one I would make for competitive play.
I was just messing around with the settings so if anyone got an email saying they were wrongfully waitlisted or something don't worry. I've expanded the tournament to 18 players since we had 2 on the waitlist already. As it stands there will have to be byes and nearly everything will be randomly shuffled before the actual start of the season.
DarthOrange and Wess will be put in the qualifying round as they signed up after the original 16. They will have to face randomly chosen opponents.
I thought this might go without saying or it may be in the rules that I didn't read but no evasion increasing moves or one hit ko's right?
I only bring it up because I was hit with "sheer cold" by a lapras last night and was reminded they even exist.
@masterwgs: You can if you want, but the season will not start the day registration closes (I'll announce more details once registration is finished and we know how many people will participate). You can also send me your team during the period between the start of the season and end of registration. Whatever works for you! But once you send me your team that's it, no changes.
I actually don't really know how to do the crazy training stuff works but I have signed up anyway and will join if there is room.
I could try to put together a breeding/training guide if anyone is interested. It's really pretty simple once it gets explained to you.
By when do we need to send you our teams? And when does the tourney start? Is it all TBD or am I blind and miss something obvious in the OP?

I would love that.

I'll try to get it done sometime within the next few days. I'm already pretty busy breeding, haha. I know it wouldn't give much time to read the guide before the tournament itself, but I guess it's better late than never.
The season start date will be determined once registration is over (you guys will have a heads up). You can send me your team now or later, as long as it is before the tournament start. As for breeding and such, check the spoiler in the first post. At the bottom I linked to a bunch of guides.
@breadfan We are accepting people from the wait list, sign up anyway!
@thamilkman Anything goes this season except for legendaries and the fact that you can't have duplicate Pokemon and/or items. We will introduce regulations once we see how balanced (or not) the community is.
2 people are on the wait list with names that are not GB accounts. Who are you? If we can't figure you out then you may not end up in the tournament.
Team is 3/6 bred. Glad we have time to set up, it's taking me a day+ to get each member with the IVs I want.
This sounds awesome, I don't have enough time to get anything together in the next couple days, but I'll totally be down for the next one.
