The Gauntlet
Approved by Earthworm and the tournament directors.
Introduction:
We all play a game where Pokemon faint and then are later revived to fight again in another battle. Consider, though, what it would be like if the game were a little darker? A little less forgiving? A little more deadly? This tournament attempts to recreate that scenario on Shoddy Battle by building up its own banlist for individual players based on who they let faint - or "die" - in each round. Are you ready to brave the gauntlet?
History:
General Tournament Rules:
The deadline for the Finals is 11:59PM EST (GMT-4), 9/14/2010.
Matchup:
The two following battlers have worked hard to get here, and both have lost a tremendous amount of Pokemon. Taylor has lost 16 Pokemon, while Eo has lost 20. At a glance, I can see some threats exist that each player can use against the other! I am excited to read the log for this match and maybe even watch it if I can. I hope that the players will announce when it is being played so that we can enjoy it in real time. Good luck to both of you!

History:
General Tournament Rules:
- General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
- This is a single-battle OU tournament where your Pokemon can "die" between rounds.
- The banlist for this tournament is the same as for the Standard ladder of the Smogon Server of Shoddy Battle. (Salamence is allowed for this whole tournament)
- There will be a week of time for each round of the tournament. (Extensions for active members who simply cannot get together are OK) When signing up for the tournament, keep this in mind, as I will not hesitate to remove inactive players at the end of rounds or flip coins.
- You must submit a log of your battle to me at the end of each battle. This is necessary so that I am made aware of what Pokemon you are disallowed from using for future rounds. This burden is placed on the winner of a match, but if the winner forgets, the loser must provide the log. If you win but neither you nor your opponent saved the logs, I will cross-reference both players to discern who lost what Pokemon. I reserve the right to force a rematch if I question the integrity of such cross-referencing.
- Each Pokemon that faints on your team in any battle of the tournament can never be used on any of your teams for the rest of the tournament. The Pokemon that you can not use will be publicly listed for your opponents to see and build their teams around.
- For example, in the first round, you win the match, but lost a Scizor and a Gliscor. These Pokemon can no longer be used by you in the second or future rounds, should you make it further.
- Evasion Clause
- Sleep Clause
- Freeze Clause
- OHKO Clause
- Species Clause
- Strict Damage Clause
- Timed Battle
