August OU Tournament
I think now is a good time for a new OU tournament with no gimmicks or anything. Our anniversary tournament was mostly successful and although it just recently "finished", many players were out months ago and are probably craving a new chance to show off their skills, and our new players to leave a strong mark. This is also a bit early for August, but with both tournaments on hold (July is about to be) for a week while Isa is on a trip (who is active and will be back, lol), I think we can get this one started.
This is just a standard tournament though, so no money this time, ha, but with it being a basic OU one, I'm hoping for a lot of entrants.
Format
This will be a Double-Elimination tournament with a pre-seeded bracket. Seeds will be based on previous tournament results, but moreso on previous OU results. Players with 1st Seeds may receive Byes in their first round if we don't have a perfect number of players.
All sets will be best 2 of 3, except Winners' Semis and up and Losers' Quarters and up, which will all be best 3 of 5.
Rules
-Mewtwo and Mew are banned
-All 6 Pokemon must be different
-Freeze, Sleep and Self-KO Clause
-Apply PP Ups
-Evasion moves (Double Team, Minimize) are banned
-OHKO moves (Horn Drill, Fissure, Guillotine) are banned
-Wrap moves (Bind, Clamp, Fire Spin, Wrap) are banned*
-Both players may change teams after each battle
*The gentleman's rule is if both players agree, Wrap moves may be used. If either player disagrees, house rules stay.
I also will be more strict on DQs this time, since our last OU tournament went way out of hand. There are no deadlines, but do make an attempt to get your set done. I'll warn you first, but if you're still missing, you'll be DQ'd.
Entrants
I'm expecting a fair size of entrants, but we can work with anything. I'm leaning on a 16 player cap though, but we'll see how many we can get. I'll leave sign-ups open until the 28th.
Hope to see everyone join!
