Annual Gym Tournament 2014

GYM TOURNAMENT 2014

Chainy here, rising from the grave to host the annual Gym Tournament! After all, just because I ragequit from the pro battle scene like a little bitch doesn't mean you guys should have all the fun. Besides, part of the fun is watching the rage when I announce that this year, just for fun, Orange Island Gyms are not allowed to participate!

Rules:

- You must post in this thread using the below form to confirm that your Gym is participating in this tournament.
- You may only use Pokemon you use in your Gym (owned or rented). If your line-up changes during the tournament, you will have to use the Pokemon that are on your line-up sheet.
- All battles and matchups will be determined completely randomly, avoiding any type bias.
- This is an elimination tournament. That means if you lose, you're out.
- If there is an issue with time zones then make sure you contact me as soon as possible and we'll set up a date and time for you to battle your opponent.
- Defeating a Gym Leader in this tournament does not grant you their badge.
- All battles will take place on AIM/Skype and not the forum to ensure they are done quickly. The goal is to have each round take no longer than ten days.
- Orange Island Gyms are not allowed to compete.


Battle Rules

All battles during this tournament will be 6v6. Below are the default rules for all battles.

X/Y Private Preview (may be changed to X/Y Private Full if both battlers agree)
Items On (may be changed to Items Off if both battlers agree)
No Weather / Default Terrain
SLP/FRZ/OHKO/ACC/EVA Clauses On

Schedule

Signups go from when this is posted until 8AM January 3rd GMT+9:30. Assuming all goes well, after that each round will last between seven and ten days. I'm going to be really strict on that ten-day upper limit, so make sure you get battles done before the dates I'll post later.

Prizes

First Place Prize:

- If you have any Rented Pokemon, you may choose one of those Pokemon to become Owned in addition to any EMs you have on them, and 3 more TMs on top of these.
- If all of your Pokemon are Owned, you can claim any non-Legendary Pokemon of your Gym's (or chosen) type with 3 TMs on it.
- If you own all the Pokemon of your Gym's (or chosen) type then you may pick any non-Legendary Pokemon with 3 TMs on it.

Second Place Prize:

Third Place Prize:

- If you have any Rented Pokemon you may choose one of these Pokemon to become Owned in addition to any EMs you already have on them, as long as their lowest-evolved form is Medium-ranked or lower.
- If you have Rented Pokemon but none of their lowest-evolved forms is Medium-ranked or lower, you may choose one Medium-level or lower Pokemon of your Gym's (or chosen) type.
