M.U.T.E. III
Welcome all to the 3rd edition of the Most UBER Tournament Ever, also known as MUTE. This tournament will be co-hosted by Fireburn and yohoE.
Ubers is a tier where only the manliest, most based Pokemon reside. Pokemon such as the behemoth, Primal-Groudon; Pokemon like the bloodcurdling Mega-Salamence. You see, there are no counters in Ubers, and there are close to no safe switch-ins. In Ubers, you always have to assess your situation; you always have to think about which Pokemon you don't need, and which Pokemon will bring you the win. This Tier is as fast-paced as they come; this Tier is as team-reliant as it comes. As stated in former MUTE Tournaments, our Tier, sadly, is not getting the attention and love it deserves. In the words of the great Furai, it's time to give Ubers the love it deserves. We will be rekindling arguably the best Ubers tournament ever created, hosted originally by some of the all-time Ubers greats such as Bojangles, Hugendugen, Zephyr, Furai and Firemage: THE MOST UBER TOURNAMENT EVER!

Special Rules:

- Sign up as a team
- Everybody on the team must confirm
- Come up with an awesome name
- For those who do not have a team, I will be keeping a list of “free agents” so go ahead and express interest! I will not be making teams though, so it is your responsibility to seek out other free agents.
- IMPORTANT: When you sign up as a team, each member will be randomly assigned to be in a Division (A-E are possibilities). When teams play each other, people will play the corresponding player in their division. The restrictions will be given by division as well. YOU MAY NOT CHANGE DIVISIONS.
- Every round, each division will be given a teambuilding restriction. You obviously must follow this.
- Round 1 - Players will be given a Pokemon they are required to use and a Pokemon they are not allowed to use. The one that you're required to use must be on your team, but you don't have to build around it.
- Round 2 - Players are given two types, such as Poison and Rock, and must choose a Pokemon of each type to be used on their team. Arceus formes do not count towards satisfying this requirement.
- Round 3 - Players will be given a core, consisting 3 Pokemon, they must use.
- Round 4 – Players will be given an item, a type of item, a move, or a type of move that they are not allowed to use.
- Yes, this means you are building a new team every round. I still expect people to adhere to strict deadlines.
- Build your teams with your team!
- YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE FUN
Final Round Restrictions
Players will be given a set of items or a set of moves that they are not allowed to use. You can use any item/move that is not explicitly banned by the ruleset.

Will the power of the defiant divinity be able to overcome orch's chronic obesity problem? Hopefully we won't need a deadline to find out!
Johning will not be tolerated in this tournament and it only hurts your team - I will not be giving extensions for any reason. Please get your matches done on time and save replays!
Good luck to all teams! Hit up #ubers on SynIRC if you have questions about the Ubers metagame!
