Approved by The Tournament Directors
Welcome to the Tournament that will turn boys into BIGs.
Info:
This tournament is one to reward those who have consistently done well during the DPP Tours. Similar to the format of the top 8 at the end of each Tour, this tournament will be a seeded, Best of Three tournament consisting of a OU, UU, and Uber match. As it is meant to feature the best and most consistent players, it will only be a 32 man, single elimination tournament.
For information on how the 32 participants were chosen, refer to
this.
However, because of summer and overall inactivity, the following 4 users have been subbed out of the tournament
By request:
(9) Zak91, (31) Xtrashine
By inactivity:
(28) Abutorn, (30) dragonfruit
And will be replaced by
(9) Reyscarface, (28) Justinawe, (30) Philip7086, and (31) Stone_Cold
These 4 players were among the next few on the wins list, but even more importantly are all active so I can be assured that they will meet the deadlines.
Finally, here is the

Basic Battle Rules (Taken from ST6)
- Species Clause
- You cannot have more than one of the same species of a Pokémon on your team.
- Example: You cannot have two Charmander on your team.
- Sleep Clause
- You cannot put two of your opponent's Pokémon asleep at the same time.
- Evasion Clause
- A Pokémon cannot use Double Team or Minimize.
- OHKO Clause
- A Pokémon cannot use Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, or Sheer Cold.
- Self-KO Clause
- If both players are down to one Pokémon each, you are not allowed to use a move that KOs both Pokémon to force a tie.
- Should a move which causes recoil damage ends the game in a tie, then the match will be redone.
- Shoddybattle does not have ties. So, always calculate the recoil damage before deciding the winner if it comes close to the situation.
- Latias is Banned. The Current Tier Lists at the time of this post will be used for the remainder of this tournament, and as such, Salamence will be allowed.
- Timed Battle Clause ON
- Deadlines will be extremely strict. I understand that we are now in summer, but if you have to go away then that is your fault as you indicated to me that you wished to participate.
- Round 1 will last until Saturday June 26th at 2:00 PM EST. No extensions will be given.
- After this round, rounds will only last one week. I expect similar activity to SPL.
AS A NOTE: Round 2 will go until next Monday at 3:01 AM EST. I will allow matches that do not finish before this deadline to finish during the next week. I am specifically talking about Imperfectluck vs Stone_Cold and Krack vs Deep Thought. Everyone else I expect to be done before the deadline. I want every single match done. I do not want to disqualify someone.
Player Profiles:
Of course, it would not be a complete thread concerning my tour stats if I did not plug them at least
once.
If you have any questions or concerns, please ask before you battle!
Should be a great tournament! Let's meet those deadlines!
