    Doubles doesn't seem to be as popular here... I personally don't have any doubles ready pokemon.
     
    Well there has been some rising interest in Doubles after the Showdown Tournament was announced but I guess it wasn't big enough...
    Hopefully the members that are interested in doubles join this ;)
     
    I guess i'll join.
    I'd like to kick Mukkas butt :P

    Hey wait, why do they have to be level 50.
    Can't we just enjoy a Lv50 all boost?
     
    I'm surprised that no one from this site has joined this tournament, more players have joined from the other sites and this is a great way to test out any OU Doubles team ;)

    Lol, no posts in almost 4 days, well more players have joined from the othersites ;)

    I got the Idea from this Bar that I went to about a week ago, since I only have "2" Posts I can't post the picture but basically everyone that wins will go fight the winners of the First Round and those that lost will face the other players that lost, thus creating two "flights" or "Brackets"

    Here is the picture to Visualize how it's set up ;)

    Uncontested doubles champion here.

    I've been on the bench for a while, but I hope this tournament stirs up some competition.

    I don't have any interest in competiting in the tournament, but I'll glady play the winner. If you win this tournament and beat me I'll breed and ev train you a full team of your choice.

    Cheers.
     
    Thanks ;)
    I guess that the lack of me not being here or anywhere else where the sun and salt water don't mix sort of put down the tournament.
    I will now just send PMs to the Participants and try to get the second round to be more succesful ;)

    Mukkamoto won the Coin Toss and I'm still waiting for a Reply from Four of the Contestants
    I won my Match against Kankuro and Mank won against Samnitmar, Pokedude never replied to Supremuffin so he automatically went to the 2nd Flight
