The PokéCommunity OverUsed Tournament

Introduction
Welcome to the (second annual!) PokéCommunity OverUsed Tournament!

This tournament started with last year's iteration and continues now. As the OP of last year's tournament states, the goal of the tournament is to be one of the few competitive milestones in our battling community, to be held once a year to determine PC's best OverUsed battler. Bring your A-game and have fun!

Time zone:

Format
• This is a BEST OF THREE single elimination ORAS OU tournament.
• The tournament bracket will be determined randomly each round. The tournament's size with be the highest multiple of sixteen possible, rounding down, with anyone else becoming subs in case someone must drop out.
• Each round will last for exactly five days. Completing matches is an expectation, so do not join if you are not completely certain that you will be able to complete your matches. No extensions will be granted. The winner of unfinished battles will be the more active player. Failing to complete matches ruins the competitive integrity of the tournament. Things can come up, so if you need a sub, don't wait until a day before the deadline to tell us.

Rules
• The Tournament's format is standard ORAS OU according to Smogon's tier list, which can be found here.
• You must abide by standard battle clauses as well as the tier list.
• If the tiering status of Hoopa-Unbound (or anything else) changes during the tournament, it will take effect at the start of the next round. Any change to a clause (like Baton Pass or Endless Battle) will take effect immediately.
• Please do battles on either the Smogon or PokéCommunity Pokemon Showdown! servers.
• I reserve the right to deny anyone entry to this tournament if I have reason to believe they won't complete their matches. I will avoid doing this, but if you are Lucario_Master49588 and have 1 post—which happens to be your entry into the tournament—you probably won't be getting in. Sorry. :(

Sportsmanship
• Do not taunt or disrespect opponents or other tournament participants. If it breaks forum and server rules about respect, it's not okay for this tournament either.
• No one likes hax. If you miss three Focus Blasts in a row, remember that your opponent didn't rig the RNG. Be respectful about this or you will be disqualified, as per my judgment (or Wolf's or Zeffy's judgment should my neutrality be in question). It's competitive, but it's also just a game.
• Do not scout or counter-team your opponent. You will be disqualified if you are suspected of doing this and there is convincing evidence, as per my judgment (with the same caveat as before).
• If there is a DC, you may replay the match with either the same teams or different teams, as decided by the user who did not DC. If victory was assured, the match will not be replayed in fairness to the would-be winner.

The first user who signed up is not being allowed in for reasons strikingly similar to the hypothetical I mentioned in the OP.

We now have 16 participants, and since 32 isn't going to happen, I'm going to open this for Round 1. You may still sign up as a substitute battler and I encourage anyone interested to do so.

With that, here are the opening match-ups:

Nah vs. Sonata
Christos vs. punkysaur
AmourPearlShipper vs. Sweep
Aurora vs. Hermione Granger
Rragnar0k vs. Yoshikko
Archy vs. Quajutsu
Seth Rollins vs. Spartacus
Chase vs. static

The deadline for this round is Monday, August 10th at 11:59 PM EST. Remember that each match is best of three so you will need to play either 2 or 3 individual games.

Even luck!
