Well since not even half the matches are done, I'll be extending the deadline until Monday, October 13. Please please please get your matches done guys. I'll be sending reminder PM's shortly.
Skymin will not be allowed in this tournament. Throwing in what I assume will be a top tier poke after many of the other top tiers have been removed would obviously be a bad idea.
EDIT: New Rotoms are also not allowed.
The new moves will NOT be allowed in this round, however they will be allowed in every round after this (some people have already finished their matches this round, and I would like each match within each round to be played under uniform conditions).
Regarding Hypnosis (and any other move changes): I don't care what server you play on, so long as both players agree on where the match should take place. If a consensus cannot be reached, the match should be played at Smogon University. After all, this is a Smogon tournament.

It's time to move on to the next round of the strikeout Tournament!
Before I post the new pairings, I one again have some announcements to make:
Matches were only advanced into this round if I felt that there was a reasonable chance of them being completed. To be honest I was pretty disappointed with the turnout from last round; I would REALLY appreciate everyone getting their matches done in a timely fashion.
Anyway...
Here are the Round 3 Pairings!
This round will come to a close on Wednesday, October 1, at 12:00 Midnight (PST).
Here are a few reminders and clarifications regarding the rules:

It's time to move on to the next round of the strikeout Tournament!
Before I post the new pairings, I one again have some announcements to make:
- By far the most struck out pokemon was Gengar. Therefore, Gengar is banned in this round and for the duration of the tournament.
- The most used is a bit more complicated. Junior and I agreed at the onset of the tournament that if two pokemon tied for usage, the tie would be broken by number of strikeouts that round. If it still happened to be a tie, then the tie would be broken by number of uses in the previous round. This is what it came down to, since Salamence and Heatran were tied in both usage and Strikeouts this round. However, Heatran was used more than Salamence in round 1; therefore, Heatran is banned in this round and for the duration of the tournament.
- I'm sorry, but the statistics will not be as in-depth as they were last time. I still don't have access to my laptop, and to be honest the response last time was pretty underwhelming, so I don't think it's worth the trouble to do the extended stats again.

This round will come to a close on Wednesday, October 1, at 12:00 Midnight (PST).
Here are a few reminders and clarifications regarding the rules:
- You can use the pokemon your opponent struck out from you last round. This round your opponent will strikeout a pokemon from you, just like in the first and second rounds. It is possible that you will be be unable to use the same pokemon as last round.
- If you strike a pokemon out from your opponent, you are still allowed to use that pokemon.
- Garchomp, Deoxys-E, and Celebi are all still banned.
- Gengar and Heatran are now also banned.
- You will not receive a strikeout PM directly from your opponent. All players should send their strikeout PMs to me, and once I have received them from both players, then they will be forwarded.
- Please send your strikeouts as soon as you can. Your opponent cannot build their team without knowing what that can and cannot use.
- To make it incredibly clear, each player will not be able to use six pokemon this round: the five listed below, and one more of his/her opponent's choosing.
- Garchomp
- Deoxys-E
- Celebi
- Gengar
- Heatran
Skymin will not be allowed in this tournament. Throwing in what I assume will be a top tier poke after many of the other top tiers have been removed would obviously be a bad idea.
