Signup Procedures:
There will be 64 slots available. The first 48 are guranteed a spot. The last 16 places will have a higher priority for well-known and respectable battlers. There will be 10 substitutes after the 64 mark. Those that were 'dragged out' of the 64 spots will be guranteed to be a substitute. The substitutes will be needed for cases of inactivity, and then the 'dragged out' substitutes will have priority. It's only fair. PM'ing me won't help you get in the tournament, but will cause the exact opposite, so please PM only if you have trouble doing your match or vice versa.

The Forgotten OU Tournament
Introduction:
Hello, and welcome to The Forgotten OU Tournament! In this Tournament, the competitive battler's skill to respond to changes in the current metagame are tested. Test yourself among others in the brand new metagame that will be presented here!
So, what is this 'forgotten OU'?
It's pretty simple actually: With the release of the July Shoddy Server Statistics in early August, the top 25 pokemon in usage in OU will be banned among the already banished Ubers. This drastic change will form a completley different metagame that you are going to test! (of course, a metagame that will only exist in this tournament)
With the expulsion of the OU staples, the forgotten will make their comback on the battling field, will it be the Underused of the Overused (like Cresselia, Heracross & Dusknoir among others) or the once-OU Underused (like Milotic, Weezing, Steelix and many more), not forgetting the classic Never Used pokemon that lost their usage. Other pokemon like Dragonite and Feraligatr will also see a lot of use, with their 'outclassing' counterparts out of the way.

With the chaos inside this new tier, it will be up to the competitors to find the effective style of play, not to mention pokemon, to be victorious!
And so, with the not-so-short introduction out of the way, let us begin with the Tournament!
General Tournament Rules:
~This is a Single Elimination tournament.
~The top 25 pokemon in usage from the July Shoddy Server Statistics in OU are banned. They are not allowed under any circumstances.
~The Rotom formes that will not make the top 25 in OU usage are allowed.
~If for some reason the OU usage list changes, the banned pokemon list will remain the same until the next round. This holds true for any change that might happen.
~Battle logs are not a must, but it is reccomended that the winner will hold on to the log for proof of him winning if a situation appears.
~To avoid scouting, multiple teams are highly reccomended. If you must use a limited ammount of teams, at least try to keep the battle private.
