Ah, Round 2. The round for awkwardly aged teenage boys who have shown they're better than the mere toddlers of round one, but have yet to prove themselves man enough to make the top 8. Who will be stuck in permanent puberty, and who will advance? Only time will tell. Let's look at the pairings!
There's some excellent battles in the field this round. Gouki versus Atticus in a Smogon Frontier rematch. Veteren pokemon player Veteren In Love versus rookie ReyScarface. The meeting of consistency in Kevin_Garrett versus Panamaxis. This round is sure to breed some excellent battles.
OBLIGATORY RULES REPASTE(EVERYONE READ THESE)
Standard Rules:
Sleep Clause
Freeze Clause
OHKO Clause
Evasion Clause
Species Clause (This includes your side team)
Tie Move Clause
Battle Timeout
The following Pokemon are banned: All ubers, (latias is allowed)
Special Rules:
1. Each round will be played in a best of three format. Finals will be best of five. This means that you must beat your opponent two times in order to be declared the winner of a round and three times if it's the finals.
2. Each player must submit to me a team of six pokemon that they wish to be their "main team." They must also submit to me a "side team" that consists of six additional Pokemon.
3. The first battle in a given round MUST be played with using your main team. After that battle is done, you are free to substitute up to two Pokemon from your main team with Pokemon from your side team. If a third game is necessary, you are allowed two additional substitutions from your main team for Pokemon from your side team.
4. This is one of the most important rules. SETS ARE TO REMAIN CONSTANT WITHIN A ROUND. This means if you use Life Orb Tyranitar in the first match, you are bound to using only Life Orb Tyranitar for the remainder of the round. ITEM / NATURE / EV'S / IV'S / MOVE SET are all considered to be part of the set. If there is proof that you have changed your set at any time in the round, you will be disqualified without exception.
5. Sets do not, however, have to remain constant between rounds. If you used Life Orb Tyranitar round one, you are free to use Choice Band Tyranitar for round two.
6. Your main team and side team must remain constant throughout the tournament.
7. Scouting is expressly forbidden. If you are caught watching a battle you will be disqualified without exception. DON'T WATCH OTHER PEOPLE'S BATTLES. I'm even going to be alt checking names of spectators just to make sure no one tries to watch a battle under an alt. Just plain don't do it.
8. Logs must be sent to me via PM so that I can confirm teams. Only the winner must send me PMs. If you fail to send me a PM, you will have to redo your battles. This is probably the second most important rule.
THE DEADLINE FOR ROUND 2 BATTLES IS 2 WEEKS FROM THIS POST. THE DEADLINE FOR THE FOLLOWING MATCHES:
BLUE KIRBY V DORMIN
TWASH V DARKIE(too weak to even battle)
IS MONDAY. AFTER MONDAY I'LL BE FLIPPING A COIN FOR THE WINNER.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
