The game of Pokemon has two faces. On one face we have team building, theory crafting, anticipating checks and counters. On the other face there is prediction, strategy, bluffing. In this tournament players will compete in best of threes, but during their second match they will switch teams. The theory is that winning the first two matches demonstrates pure player skill, while winning best of three shows a better team builder. The goal of this tournament is to learn things about each other's playing styles, and about our own strengths and weaknesses.
Tournament Rules:
Here is the link for submitting your team. I need everything. Pokemon, EVs, Natures, Items, Movelists, etc. You should have all this written down and ready to pass to your opponent before your second match anyway, so if anything goes into PokemonOnline it goes into TeamSubmit.
Match-Ups:
Deadline is in 2 weeks, or the 14th of June. Contact me with any activity issues. If you would like to sub, post in the thread.
