    NO! Just, no. Apart from Triple Battles not being allowed, doubles tourneys have happened before and they always kind of seem to fail due to partners. (Also refs hate them)

    You know you don't need 4 people to battle in a double battle... Only 2, just like most other battles. Also, I don't hate them. :|

    A "Challeneg cup" tourny, where you get rolled a number of pokémon at the start, say 10, and you get those mons with all moves and have to use them for the entire tourny, starting with 3v3 battles (most people will have three good mons) and culminating in a 6v6 final.

    I'd even be happy to run it.

    Ladder style? As in, you fight the person ahead of you, and the loser gets docked down a spot, and vice versa?

    I always thought that was kinda lame...brackets are better imo.

    Battle Factory?

    Also how about 1v1 Tournament. When you battle someone you battle 3 seperate 1v1's. Best 2 out of 3 wins and advances.
