Hello all, and welcome to the sign-ups for the Diversity Cup, the tournament that will test your knowledge of many of the common metagames in the D/P Generation!
Each entrant will submit a team (by PM, please) consisting of 6 Pokemon, each from a different tier. Your team must have 1 Pokemon from each of the following tiers: Uber, OU, BL, UU, UE, NFE.
This will be run as a double-elimination tournament, which means that you must lose twice to be eliminated from the tournament. The Winner's bracket will be identical to the brackets of a normal tournament, but anyone who has lost a match will compete in the Loser's bracket. Once their is a single person in each bracket, those are the two finalists. Keep in mind that the finalist from the loser's bracket will have to win two straight matches against the other finalist.
I'm starting this as a 16-person, but it will be increased to 32 if there is enough interest.
Standard Smogon rules apply, and the tournament will use Smogon tiers. Arceus and Shaymin are banned, as they are not legally obtainable as of yet. Battles to be conducted on ShoddyBattle.
This tournament will run under strict, 2-week deadlines.
