Forum Contest Rules

1. Make sure you join the URPG first. Use the Forum Contest Signups thread to get other Coordinators.

2. Lay out all the rules in the first post. The title of the thread will list the competitors and the type of Contest. (Ex. Hyper Cool Contest)

3. Each Coordinator will send out their Pokémon and all information relevant to the Contest.

4. In each Appeal Round, you can either post your attack in the thread or send a PM to the Judge.

5. You will post/send one move and wait for the Judge to post the stats, then repeat until all 5 rounds are over. If the rules are Regular, be sure to send your 4 moves to the Judge at the start.

6. Inactivity will play a large roll. If you don’t call a move after 5 days, your Pokémon will be afflicted with Nervousness.

7. Only the coordinator and the Judge are allowed to post in their thread. Fans can root from the outside.

8. Have fun!

Forum Contest Tips

1. If you have a contest over messenger and it doesn't finish, you are allowed to post the stats here and continue it later (either here or back on messenger). Hopefully, this will lessen the amount of time "wasted" by Judges.

2. For the Judges, try to be respectful. If someone is judging one battle, don't start judging for them unless you were asked or that Judge hasn't responded in a while.

3. Please have patience not only for the Judge, but for the contest because it will not be as fast as messenger. It is highly encouraged that you download Discord, if able. Request for an invite to the URPG server here!

4. Trading Pokémon. If you want to trade a Pokémon that is involved in a contest, you must wait for the contest to be finished in order to trade. If you do trade that Pokémon, you will automatically be dropped from the contest. Please refer to the Earning and Ribbons section of the Judging Encyclopedia for more information on Ribbons and Trading.

5. Judges, be aware of how many Contests you are judging, so you aren’t flooded with PMs.
