    Pros

    •Additional one would be summer so def active
    •Gym tourney is one of the hilights of the year imo
    •Great chance to show off the gym system and the appeal of gyms
    •Always some of the most competitive battles, great levels of play, counter-picking and working around teams especially if disadvantaged matchup = thunbs up for battles/tourneys
    •Distracts the masses from the monotony of summer
    •Increase activity?
    •No longer controversial OI gyms, everyone wins
    •Gym tourneys always have good activity and go to completion
    •Extra learning and opportunities to expand team with rental prizes
    •Possibility to have one standard one, and the other another style like double elimination, or only neutral battles (no water vs grass etc.)

    Cons

    •Not getting another tourney because you don't have a gym - (this doesn't even have to be the case as it can run alongside another, and it even encourages people to strive for gyms woo!)
    •Literally no cons

    Thoughts, suggestions, questions, statements, bank statements etc all go here ;)
