    what do we say to split the tier?!


    Approved by Aurafire


    This is a new tournament is hopes to boost activity around here. The rules are a little different here though. Here, you will only be using the lower half of the standard tier, which can change the results ot anything.

    This will be a standard singles tournament with 6 Pokemon on each side. and only the challenger is allowed to make substitutions.

    So what do I mean about having a split tier? Well I mean the OU tier will be split in two and you will only be allowed to use the lower half of the tier, based on the usage statistics on Smogon from May.

    The following Pokemon from the OU tier are banned, as well as all Uber Pokemon.
    Code:
    - Scizor
    - Tyranitar
    - Heatran
    - Gyarados
    - Jirachi
    - Gengar
    - Metagross
    - Swampert
    - Infernape
    - Starmie
    - Lucario
    - Blissey
    - Machamp
    - Latias
    - Azelf
    - Gliscor
    - Breloom
    - Skarmory
    - Vaporeon
    - Rotom-H
    - Magnezone
    - Celebi
    - Suicune
    - Flygon

    Any idea when this will start? I'll have to alter my team a little if I sign up, so I'd like to know how much time I have to prepare.

    Added the last two competitors to the tournament.

    Now that we have the last two competitors, we have a full game! Please look at the Original Post for pairings. You will have three days to complete your battle and post here saying who won or lost.

    Does this mean it's too late to join? :pink_cry:

    I answered my question by further reading the OP. Ah well, GL to all participating.
