The Pokemon League: The Hacker Community's first "national" tournament! (OCTOBER 1ST, 2011!) LAST DAY TO SIGN UP!)

[HitoshirezuJamal]

The Pokemon League is arriving... do you have what it takes to become the Champion?

Okay guys, this won't be just some ordinary tournament: it's gonna be HUGE. I need your help to spread the word about this tournament throughout the hacker community; if you're able to do that, we can have one successful tournament!

The TOs (tournament organizers) for this tournament so far are:

Jamal (main TO)
Seth (assistant TO)
Pro (assistant TO)
Brandon (assistant TO)
Raina (assistant TO)
Ty (assistant TO)
Poyo (assistant TO)
Sasab (assistant TO)

If you want to be a TO, you can apply to be one on this thread.

Rules:

- Double elimination.

- All sets starting from Quarters are Best of 3. For Grand Finals, the winner of Losers' Finals must win 2 sets, while the winner of Winners' Finals only has to win one. You are not allowed to change teams during a set, but you CAN change your lead during one.

- Sleep Clause: Two or more Pokemon on a team cannot be asleep at the same time. Self-induce sleep via rest does not activate Sleep Clause.

- Freeze Clause: Two or more Pokemon on a team cannot be frozen at the same time.

- Self KO Clause: If both players have only one Pokemon left, moves which KO both the user and the opponent are not allowed (e.g. Explosion, Destiny Bond). If recoil damage would cause a tie, Self KO Clause does not activate, and the player who last attacked is the winner.

- Species Clause: Two or more of the same Pokemon may not be used on the same team.

- All of these items, moves, abilities, and Pokemon are banned:
