The Ghosting Tournament
Or: The Trading Faces Tournament

Approved by Earthworm :O

Original idea by Hipmonlee

Smogon Tournament Rules
Sign Ups
Round One
Round Two
Round Three

Ghosting - (v) The act of gaining knowledge of another person's Pokemon battle, whether through spectating or the viewing of pasted logs, and helping that person make his move selections during the Pokemon battle.

This is a tournament where ghosting is permitted and highly encouraged. Players will be competing as part of a team but each round only one player from each team will be battling. Ghosting and scouting has long been problems in other tournaments but this tournament laughs at these concepts and makes them its bitches.

Standard Rules

Single elimination format
Matches are to be played on the Smogon University server on Pokemon Online
5th Generation OU tournament
OHKO Clause
Evasion Clause
Species Clause
Sleep Clause
Wifi Clause

IMPORTANT!Tournament-specific Rules IMPORTANT!

No Disallow Specs - for easy ghosting and scouting
No Battle Timeout - this allows you time to discuss strategy during the battle, but if you timestall your opponent on purpose, with no evidence to the contrary, I reserve the right to disqualify your team
3 members per team
Each team shall nominate a captain either through PM or their team sign up post, he will be in charge of organizing team members, providing the opposing captain with available times, and making sure the team gets the battle done in a timely manner
Because of the ghosting element, who is actually battling for the team each round makes little difference, just make sure the battle gets done
There's nothing to stop you taking the advice of people not on your team, but remember that they may not always have your best interest at heart, and spies and backstabbers are everywhere...
All battle logs must be saved and PMed to me, I will post the battle logs in the thread at the end of each round. This should help you formulate a strategy for next round
If you have any Skype recordings, IRC logs, or PO logs of the ghosting discussions that go on, it would be nice if you PM those to me too, but this is not mandatory. These may be posted publicly to provide insight / entertainment.
You shall make your team name known to me either through PM or the sign up post, otherwise I will pick one for you and it will not be pretty.

List of teams, captains are in bold

This is it, the semifinals, who will move onto the ultimate ghosting showdown?

The European fury that is Team SCHLUSSELBEINBRUCH?
The trans-Atlantic might of Team McLovin?
The Oceanic force known as the nuggets?
The Brazilian power by the name of PANELAND?

We shall see...

Match Ups

Team SCHLUSSELBEINBRUCH vs the nuggets

Team McLovin vs PANELAND

You have 7 days as of this post to complete your battle.

Remember to PM all battle logs to me. If you didn't save the log for whatever reason, the winners should PM their winning team to me.
