Battle Rules
Bring 4, Pick 3 Singles. You PM 4 pokemons to the ref from your team, but the battle will be 3vs3 singles. You will choose and send out your mons as the battle develops.
72 Hour DQ, 1 Warning
Switch = OK
Abilities: All
Items: All
Subsitutions: 3
Megas: 1
Z-Moves: 1
Infinite Recoveries/Chills
Turn Order: Coin Flip
Arena: ASB Tournament Arena
Ubers Rule: Each type has an Ubers list. You may only use one of those Pokemon per match. NOTE: This would mean that you can only send in 1 mon from that list per match.
Special Rule: Pokemon are equipped on send-in, similar to how Anime-Style Simulator challenges work.
Special Rule #2: The Gym League rules on Megas is in effect. A mega may be used as long as it shares a type with the gym. Pokemon that mega evolve into a Pokemon with the right type can only be used in their mega evolved form, and enter the field mega evolved (see: Mega Lopunny in Fighting). Pokemon that lose the proper type on mega evolution may not be used (see: Mega Aggron in Rock).
Special Rule #3: Silvally can be used, but it must hold the Memory associated with the typing of the team, unless you are Normal, in which case, you cannot use a Memory. Silvally will be immune to any item-changing/removing effect if it is holding a Memory item, and Knock Off will get a boosted BAP against a Silvally holding a Memory.
Also stealing these rules:
LOA Rules:
1) If your LoA makes you unable to post we will wait up to 4 days. The longer the wait the smaller my patience if you keep pulling that card, so I reserve the right of rescinding it. LoAs without a defined ETA will be read as 3 days. that is per instance. You can't pull it in a row without first dealing with your current orders.
2) If your LoA is of the "will be busier" type, you will get +24h extension until it is over. Maximum time for its duration is 15 days (so during those 15 days you get 24h extra time on your posts). The longer the wait the smaller my patience if you keep pulling that card, so I reserve the right of rescinding it. You can't pull it in a row without first dealing with your current orders.
3) If you have good reasons and your match is well advanced, those rules might be excepted. But don't count on it

Alright, for those of you who don't remember, we are now entering Phase 1 of the tournament: Laddering.
Adding to what was said in the OP about this, due to the non-prime number of players we have, 3 players will only be a part of 2 matches. To accommodate this, a Bye will be treated as in-between a Win and a Loss. How so? Points. Winning a match gives you 3 points, Having a Bye gives you 2, Losing gives you 0. Winning a match via a DQ may have your match subject to be worth less points, as determined by the hosts and the tournament committee, because you should not get full points for DQ'ing your opponent if they were ahead by 3/4ths of a mon.Played in 1 round, 3 matches. Your matches will be entirely randomized, and players will be ranked based on their performance. The top 24 from this stage will move on. Ideally, the decisions will be made off of pure W-L records, but in the case of a tie making it difficult to decide who makes the top 24, a council of voters will be put together in order to evaluate those that need to be moved around to make it possible to make the necessary cuts.
Also, you should not be facing the same opponent twice, let me know if I make that error.
Without further ado, let's get right into it. Send-in deadline is February 2nd, 2016 @ 5:00 PM (UTC-5). Failure to meet this deadline will cost you your 1 warning, after which you will get an additional 48 hours to send-in. Failure to meet that deadline will have you DQ'd from your match, and the player who had a Bye for that match-set will stand-in and take that battle instead.

Good luck to all participants! And remember, equipping is done on send-in.
EDIT: When putting up threads, use this format so I can track these down easier. [Monotype R1] Player vs Player
