Reverse Tournament III | Hosted by tml | Won by Eo Ut Mortus
Reverse Tournament II | Hosted by twash | Won by Earthworm
Reverse Tournament I | Hosted by twash | Won by reachzero

Do you find yourself losing more than you're winning in tournaments? Or are you too accustomed to winning, and want to take losing for a spin? We can't all be the best of the best, but unlike any other tournament, the Reverse Tournament IV rewards your losses and highlights those players that have never been able to come out on top. In this tournament, everything is backwards - you play with your opponent's team and try your hardest to lose, because losing will put you into the next round.

There is a guide for this tournament here. If you are unsure whether or not you want to participate in this tournament or you want tips to help build and play, be sure to check it out!

Tournament Specific Rules

Sending in your team:

- You must PM me your team prior to completing your match in the current round. I will give you the team you will be using (the one your opponent built) when both teams are sent in to me. If you do not send in a team by midway to the first deadline, I will sub you out.
- Send me your team at least 24 hours before the time you schedule with your opponent, not ten minutes beforehand. I will swap teams when I'm free to do so.​

Teambuilding / Battling:

- Don't use trickery to lose (win), including D/Cs, forfeiting, etc.
- Only one Pokémon with a Choice item is allowed.
- Each Pokémon must have four moves.
- Assault Vest is banned.
- Each Pokémon can only have two STAB damaging attacks. You can use Sludge Bomb, Poison Sting, and Toxic all on the same set, but not Sludge Bomb, Poison Sting, and Sludge Wave.
- You can only switch twice every five turns.

Take special note of the last rule. I can check your team for breaking rules two through five, but if you make a mistake with the last rule it is grounds for forfeit. You can switch twice through turns 1-5, but any unused switches will not carry over to turns 6-10; they will just reset. I advise keeping track by talking to your opponent throughout the battle, so neither of you make the mistake of doing so.​

General Rules

General Tournament Guidelines apply (http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/tournament-rules-and-general-guidelines.3486049/).

In addition to the above, you are playing in standard XY OU, meaning the following Clauses are in effect for each battle unless otherwise explicitly stated.

---

***IMPORTANT***: Send your teams in PM to me ( Zebraiken ) by midnight EST on Friday, August 22nd, halfway to the deadline. I will sub you out if you have not sent me your team.

Round 1:

If a player's name is underlined, they have sent in their team. When both players have their names underlined and teams are swapped, you may play your games.

For clarification: dual-type Pokemon can still only use two STAB attacking moves (one of each type, or two of a single type). Hidden Power counts as a STAB attacking move if it is the same type as the Pokemon. As an example, Hidden Power Fire on Tyranitar would not be limited by this rule, but Hidden Power Dark would be.

Um, I don't see my name on the list at all, not even as a sub, did you forget about me or did I get a bye?
I explicitly remember marking you down on my list, but I must have accidentally cut your name when setting up the pairings. I'll add you back into the subs list (you were randomly selected to be a sub).

Is Showdown required for this?
Yes. You can play on PO if both players agree, but PS! is the preferred simulator.

You didn't sign up. Link me your post if you did, but I cannot find it. I can add you in as a sub now, if you like.

I'm out; I prefer to use the actual games as opposed to simulators.

An addendum to the current rules: Belch is banned.

All PMs will be updated by ~11AM for me tomorrow (in about 12h).

hard subs in for BLOOD TOTEM ; notifying Jirachie

also, updated PMs + underlined nicks in the OP, so if you've sent me a team and i haven't responded (or told you to fix something and i haven't responded), lmk. also should have swapped the teams of the pairings i've gotten both teams from, so if you're both underlined and teams haven't been swapped then tell me.
 

Bughouse

Like ships in the night, you're passing me by

McMeghan's team is both cool and strong. RIP me. Hope you win the tour :)
