Introduction
So the rules are simple. This is going to be a XY OU (NOT ORAS) bo1 tournament. All current bans and rules apply except for one major one...
Everyone must play using no team previews!
So this will be somewhat of a throwback tournament since it will be bringing back some of the old gen charm we all miss so much but in the current meta. This would mean that strategies such as scouting out team members and using old fashion prediction skills will be a huge benefit.
Also, just in case you are not aware of how no previews work, this is when you can't see your opponent's pokemon before the match starts. This also means you do not get to choose your first pokemon. So that means the first pokemon on your team will automatically go first. Pretty simple stuff.
Since there is not a "real" setting for this on showdown, everyone will have to choose CLASSIC HACKMONS which is only found when you challenge someone directly on showdown.
