Here's you task for normal egg breeding. Once 16 people fail out of the tournament (after the heats) they will post their scores (like 6-6 pokemon) and what pokemon they want as their breeded prize. So you can't start breeding until after the heats.
EDIT: This was confusing. I didn't know what I was trying to say. Just don't start breeding yet. I'll tell you when.
Another thing. The tournament will start on New Year's Day. This is for the reason that ABYAY said, and so people have more time to prepare teams. More spread out dates will make it easier to get battles in.
Another thing. I don't want people coming here say "For the record, I PM'd blah blah and he/she hasn't replied yet. What do I do?" I don't need to know that you PM'd them. You do that on your own, and if battle results aren't up by the last date of whatever round, the inactive member is knocked out of the tournament. If neither of the opponents reply in time, they are both knocked out. That will create an uneven bracket. But I have a solution for this. The person who lost a match with the closest match goes through. Let's say there was a battle and the final score was 6-0. Obviously the person with 6 goes on. And another match ended at 1-0. Since that match was closer, both of those two would go through. If this ends up happening, I'll explain further.
