About Pass the Trash:

This tournament is based on the poker game, Anaconda, with some modifications. Each player will begin with their desired team. Players will use that team the entire tournament. The catch is that before each round, players must pass one Pokemon from their team to their opponent's team. Afterwards, they will complete their match. The Pokemon they received will permanently take the place of the member they passed to their opponent. One Pokemon will be passed every round. Players are also allowed to pass a Pokemon they received in a previous round. The goal is to keep your team as effective as possible as you continue to receive more random Pokemon.

You must PM me your team before you are added to the list of competitors. Please use the export text feature in Shoddy Battle. Battles will be standard DPPt OU. Teams will be rejected if they contain a Pokemon that is not suited for standard play since it is likely that it would be passed off to hamper the opponent. No one is actually passing trash. Gimmicks will be determined by the actual Pokemon and its move set, EV spread, ability, and/or item in the team. In addition, original teams cannot break the species clause. Use a team that you commonly use to avoid having your team rejected. Teams will not be made public, but it is suggested that you don't send in a super secret team.

As for passing Pokemon, it will be done via PM. Since it needs to be ensured that one of the players doesn't see the Pokemon they will be receiving before they pass, players will be required to PM me the Pokemon they will give to their opponent. Once I have received both of the passes, I will give them to their respective players. As aforementioned, you are allowed to pass a Pokemon you received in a previous round. If you should receive a Pokemon that you already have on your team (Ie: Breaking the Species Clause), the clause will not apply to your match. Afterwards, it's up to your discretion if you would like to hang on to the duplicate or pass it off in your next round.

This will be a single elimination tournament. There will be 32 spots to begin with. I will start a substitute list after that. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

  • Evasion Clause

also, why not just have Species Clause Off as a rule, and just reject teams that break it beforehand? I'd rather not have to "give it away" that I have duplicates, though I guess it's not a big deal.

I'm adding players to the list as I receive their teams.

That's a valid point. Since duplicates are allowed anyway, the clause might as well not exist. It will only be in effect for the original teams to be accepted.
 
I'll join, so we use the sets our opponent was using, and we need to PM you are team right now?

Yes, each round, everyone will PM me one Pokemon they want to trash and I'll send it to their opponent. I will match it up with the original team and keep track of what everyone has. The sooner you can send it in, the better.
