Tournament of Thieves - Won by reyscarface
Introduction
Hello ladies and gents! Welcome to the "Tournament of Thieves". Here is your chance to become your favorite battler. Your chance to have fun with other teams. The concept is fairly simple. Each round you and your opponent will simply go to Smogon's very own Rate my Team section. Each round I will post certain rules, and you will follow those rules to choose your team in the rate my team section. One round I could simply say you can only choose a team made in 2008. The next I could say you have to choose an ubers rate my team to use. This tournament will have twists and turns.
This is the third edition of this tournament. Two years and a new generation of Pokemon have come upon us since the last edition, meaning hundreds of new teams have been posted. Good luck to everyone; this may be your only chance to steal something!
Rules
Here are the rules for BW:
Final Rules:
The finals will be a best of three featuring BW Ubers, BW OU, and BW UU. Also, due to the lack of teams, you will follow the tier lists from before the tier shifts. Check here to see what changed. Furthermore, you may not use a team you have already used. I still have all the teams you guys sent to me, so don't test me. Besides these rules, you may use any other legal team. You may play the tiers in any order agreed upon.
Deadline:
No deadline, but please schedule a time ASAP, and preferably post that time here. Also, please save the logs / replays if you can!
