This tournament will start off with Standard RU in round 1, but as time goes on will develop into a crazier and crazier meta-game. After each round the top 4 most used Pokemon will be banned and a new meta-game will be developed. This will lead to a new and crazy meta-game each round of the tournament. The RU Banlist will be locked at the start of round 1 and the only way things can be banned are through use. This tournament will count towards Smogon Championship.
Tournament Rules:
DONT FORGET TO SUBMIT YOUR REPLAY. IF YOUR OPPO USE A BANNED POKEMON YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE THE WIN. PLEASE FIX YOUR FLORGES TO REGULAR FORM, MAKES MY LIFE EASIER.

Tournament Rules:
- General tournament rules and regulations can be found here
- Best of one, SM RU single elimination tournament.
- Sign-Ups will last for a few days and the amount of interest will determine how large the tournament will be.
- If there are still any questions, don't hesitate to PM me
- You must submit the replays with your victory post so I can gather statistics, no replays = coinflip
- Sleep Clause. A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokémon.
- Evasion Clause. A player cannot increase their pokémon's evasion stat with a move that specifically increases evasion. Items or indirect boosts do not break this clause.
- OHKO Clause. Players cannot use moves that have a chance of instantly KO opposing Pokémon. For example, Horn Drill is an illegal move to have on a Pokémon's move set.
- Species Clause. You cannot use the same Pokemon twice on the same team. For example, you cannot use two Infernape.
