Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
If the tournament gets, say, 35 sign-ups, should I cut it off at 32 and make the remaining 3 substitutes, or should I use the 62.5/37.5 method on the Rules post? Which is more common?
