Due to the Spring tournament and the difficulty team building and assembling can be for such a new environment, I am going to give you all until May 21st to get your matches in. Don't take that as an excuse to procrastinate! If you haven't scheduled anything by the 14th, I'll send you both annoying VMs to get your match done with. We have a field of 24 to narrow down and I'm not afraid to drop you both if you become inactive!

Also, please save and PM me any battle video numbers of your tournament matches! In the end, I would like to archive a good deal of matches from this tournament to showcase the fun we had with this VGC-esque environment. This could even mean seeing your Pokemon battle on Youtube. Don't worry, your Pokemon, videos, and battle video numbers will be kept secret until the tournament is over.

HEY YOU

YES, YOU

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW AND SEND YOUR OPPONENT A VM TO SCHEDULE A TIME TO BATTLE!

I thought about giving all the moderators bold swag again, but it'd be awfully confusing deciphering who won their matches!
