Rules for the Summer Tournament

Now that we have all eight entrants, I’ll explain the rules of this tournament.

One of the most important things you should know is that all battles in this tournament will be double battles.

You will be paired up randomly with another entrant at the start of the tournament. This person will be your partner throughout the whole thing, so teamwork is essential for your success. You and you partner will each use one Pokemon.

After the four teams are announced, they will battle each other. Team #1 will face Team #2, and Team #3 will face Team #4. The winning team from each of those battles will move on to the final round where they will battle to determine 1st place.

Each player on the winning team will receive any Pokémon of his/her choice (it can be shiny) (it must be 1st. stage, a baby Pokémon, or a single Pokémon with no evos or pre-evos, non-legendary) and $1000.

Both players on the second place team will receive an Exp Share or a Lucky Egg (Your choice) and $500.

The other two teams receive a consolation prize of $200 per player.

Battles will have no Critical hits or Sleep, and Similar to the last tournament, attacks that would normally do 0% damage (such as a Thundershock hitting a Ground type) will instead do 25% (That's one quarter of their normal power.) At the start of a battle, one judge will take charge and update until the end of that battle. If you are an RPG Mod, you may volunteer to judge other battles, but cannot judge your own. Do not volunteer to judge if you know that you are going to be away. If you find out after you begin judging that you'll be leaving, contact me and I'll make an exception and have another judge take over.

If a player finds out that they'll be leaving, they should post in the "Absent" topic (in the Welcoming Stadium) and/or contact me. Your match will be paused until you return. If you go away for a long time and don't tell anyone, we might have to disqualify you, and that wouldn't be very fair for your teammate.


Alright, I’ll now be picking teams out of hat. (Actually it’s a pail…)

Here goes, they should be ready in a minute…

Team #1:
- Wailord55
- Paladin Zero

Team #2:
- TheMirrorCard
- Shadow Lucario

Team #3:
- Stitches
- Turtlecash

Team #4:
- Neji
- Red Rocket

Alright, Now that you know your teammates, it’s time to pick Pokemon. Each player chooses ONE Pokemon that they’ll be using during the whole tournament. You can discuss which Pokemon you’ll be using with your partner through PMs. As I’ve said before, teamwork is essential, if you want to win you and your partner will need to make a team capable of handling anything that you might come up against. Once you’ve made your final decisions, send a PM with the choice of Pokemon for you and your partner to Deadly Toxin.

(Thanks for helping out with this DT)

Once all the Pokemon choices are sent in, the battles will get started. Now start talking strategy with your partner everyone. ^_^

(DO NOT post your Pokemon choices here, if everyone sees them you'll be at a disadvantage. Keep them in the PMs.)

because we are evenning out the levels to make it fair does that mean that our pokemon that we use will temporarily learn new moves????

Yes, I forgot to mention that I guess.

Pokemon are all boosted to level 15, so any moves between your current level and level 15 are open. You can still only choose four moves though. Include the four moves you want when you send in your team info to Deadly Toxin.

I've seen Neji posting occasionally. But I don't really know where he is. If you haven't already, send him a PM. I'll send one too. Then we'll give it a few days, and if there's still no response I'll probably have to allow you to choose.
