The Spooky Cup, GF's Halloween Tournament, opens for registration tomorrow. Players are limited set of approximately 100 Pokemon and no megas are allowed. Battles are in Battle Spot Doubles format (bring 6, pick 4) and the typical limit of 10 battles per day has been extended to 15 for a total of 45 possible battles (that's 50% more battles, guys). Personally I'm pretty jazzed to be going into this and know some of you already who are registering.
This article goes over the rules and available Pokemon:

Smogon has been kind enough to set up a room for the Spooky Cup, so I've been practicing with my team on that ladder. It's still a pretty small group so we've been getting kinda chummy with each other:

Swing by if you want to try a team out. What do you guys see as the major threats in this tournament? What are your teams looking like?
I know for sure I planned around Hydreigon, Granbull, Malamar, and Volcarona. There are plenty of notables others though - Scolipede seems like it might have a fighting chance and Drapion and Krookodile are not looking half bad either. And there are always Pranksters.
