OK, due to the unusual number of people who signed up, we need to do one week differently to ensure that the seasonal brackets are normal the rest of the way. The three people in the winner's bracket will all play each other, and whoever finishes 0-2 will drop to the loser's bracket. From then on, there will be 4 people in the loser's bracket, and the seasonal can proceed as normal. The deadline will be March 28th, and I am willing to grant a small extension if you guys need more time. If you guys can find a time where all 3 of you can play in case you all go 1-1 vs. each other, that'd be cool, but if not I understand. Sorry for the inconvenience. Edit: see kebabe's post, we're still doing the round robin but with his proposed changes
Also, after this round I'll probably post sign-ups for Spring Seasonal so we can get that started as soon as Winter Seasonal ends
. These have been really successful and it's sad that we have just one more seasonal to go until we do playoffs (top 8 overall get in) over the summer.

Scheduling Rules:
USE VM WALLS! If you really don't want to schedule via a VM conversation, then post in this thread to let me know that you are in contact with your opponent some other way. If you use VM walls, you do not need to post in this thread to let me know. Unless you have clearly scheduled for a date shortly after the deadline (and cannot make a date before the deadline) you will be given an activity call instead of an extension. I'm not making the calls, so I can't promise what will or won't make you safe, but I know that activities which will up your chances are posting specific times on your opponent's wall, responding to their VMs promptly, and posting any IRC logs of you scheduling in this thread.
Deadline is Monday, March 28th at 11:59 EST. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

- This is a standard ORAS Ubers tournament
- This tournament will be Double Elimination
- All rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
- Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!
- To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, all matches must have replays recorded. If neither player posts or at least saves replays of the match, both players will suffer an automatic game loss. (If you were in losers' when you played, you are both out. If you were in winners', the winner is in losers' and the loser is out.) There may be some exceptions to this rule.
- Every round, I will choose several games as the Highlight Matches. We don't have streaming yet, but this is something I am going to look into for future rounds when things get competitive.
- Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on his team.
- Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned. (No other evasion boosting things are banned).
- OHKO Clause: The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, and Fissure are banned.
- Endless Battle Clause: Anything capable of intentionally creating an endless battle is banned.
- Moody Clause
- Sleep Clause
