I'm not really big on making threads but I figured I'd do this. Basically I'm considering hosting an OU tourney [or passing the responsibility on to someone else]. It's probably better to gauge interest here before hand and see who actually wants to battle. So I guess just post if you're interested, we could also discuss the schematics of setting it up, as well as throwing any twists on it [like no choice items, no megas, double elimination], although I think it's better to not divert from standard OU too much, or just do standard OU tournament in general since that's still fun. Have at it, guys.

OU isn't really the tier I like playing but I'm not completely against participating in a tourney. :p Community Day and the GT Battling tourney is right around the corner though, and those events run a couple of OU tourneys so you should take a look into those.

Sorta wanted to revive this...

I think we should do an OU tour, no gimmicks, single elimination, just straight OU with as many willing participants as possible. I don't think it would hurt to have a tournament with real "stakes," which I guess would be bragging rights. But the whole point would be that it's a sort of "official" deal where everyone just plays and may the best player win.

If that's a little stuffy, I think we should still do one because it's BATTLING and team building so we best be doing some battles, and I think a simple single elimination OU tour, maybe with a different banlist (like a no Aeg/Thund tour or something) should happen. I'm definitely a fan of a casual battling atmosphere, but I think tours do give a nice contrast where it's more spirited competition, and seeing as joining is voluntary, I think there's only upside.

I'm happy to organize it if you don't want to, Karp.

(While in theory I'm in favor of any tier, I don't know how much experience people have with, say, RU, and I'd prefer not to resort to a fake tournament like RandBats as imo that defeats the purpose.)
Why are the beautiful sick and divided like myself?
