Welcome to the 6th edition of Challenge Cup Cup! The most anticipated tournament of the year is back and we are all ready to witness legendary clashes in the greatest formats of all time! After all, where else can you see such great pulls with Metronome? 151 turns in a Mystery Box format? Yep, we have that. You want to see an absolutely cracked Lechonk that almost destroyed everything? We have that too!
If the premise seems enticing, you can read below to learn more about the tournament structure and you can also join the CCC server so you won't miss the action that is going to unfold in the next weeks.

Tournament Structure
CCC6 will take place over 9 weeks. In the first 7 weeks, the 8 teams will play round robin matchups, so everyone can do a little :) and a little >:( with everyone else. The top 4 teams, determined by overall record (with games-won serving as tiebreaker), will then proceed to the playoffs, duking it out to be crowned CCCCs (Challenge Cup Cup Champions)!

Teams and Managers
Each team will have 2 managers, 13/15 starter slots and 3 substitute slots*, and will be drafted via snake format in the CCC server. Both Managers have the option to play in one of the player slots, but are not obliged to. In case of "self buy", these will occur in round 5 and 8.
Since CCC is primarily a social tour, we aim to choose competent managers that know how to build and run a team towards success but most importantly, who will be able to foster a positive and fun team environment. While past Challenge Cup Cup manager involvement will be considered, we want to have a breadth of old and new managers!

The teams and managers of CCC6 are:

Team Shroomish :shroomish: managed by Click>Think and Sapphire
Team Bagon :bagon: managed by Scizor Boladão and Grillo
Team Nymble :nymble: managed by meamPearl and O1V7O2X9O
Team Oddish :oddish: managed by July and Lin
Team Vulpix-Alola :vulpix-alola: managed by Amaranth and Adelynn
Team Wynaut :wynaut: managed by PrinceOfAllTacos and rabbit13
Team Wooper :wooper: managed by Piyu and Blui
Team Fletchling :fletchling: managed by frostyicelad and Elgino

Formats:
Each team will play 13 matchups per week. That's right, we have increased the number of formats in order to address the growing randbats playerbase and to give a chance to participate to as many people as possible. But wait, there is more!
*We have decided that if we get more than 210 signups, we'll increase the number of starter slots to 15 (with 3 subs)!

Important:
Since we didn't reach 210 signups and after discussing with the managers, we have decided to keep the same structure as last year (12 slots) but to add one more sub slot for a total of 16 players (12 + 4) for every team

Therefore, the formats of CCC6 will be:

Code: 
Gen 9 Challenge Cup 1v1 (bo7)
Gen 9 Challenge Cup 1v1 (bo5)
Gen 9 Challenge Cup 1v1 (bo5)
Gen 9 Challenge Cup 1v1 (bo5)
Gen 9 Challenge Cup 2v2 (bo7)
Gen 9 Challenge Cup 2v2 (bo5)
Gen 9 Challenge Cup 2v2 (bo5)
Gen 9 Challenge Cup (bo3)
Gen 9 Challenge Cup (bo3)
Gen 1 Challenge Cup (bo3)
Mystery Box

How does Mystery Box work?
Each week, the hosts will randomly select two outside-the-box formats to include in each weekly matchup, without repeats.

Further conversations with the CCC6 managers led us to choose the following Mystery Box formats for CCC6, all in gen 9:
- Challenge Cup 1v1 with terastalization best of 7
- Chimera Challenge Cup 1v1 best of 7
- Bring 6 Pick 4 Challenge Cup 2v2 best of 5
- Bring 6 Pick 6 Challenge Cup 2v2 best of 3
- Challenge Cup "Trio" (which consists in playing cc6v6 best of 1, cc1v1 best of 3, cc2v2 best of 3)
- Challenge Cup 1v1 "LJDA" (the wildcard will be a targeted ban) best of 7
- Challenge Cup 6v6 First Blood best of 5

Prizes
CCC is that kind of tournament where the final prize is "the friends you meet along the way" but this year we also asked the very talented Affles to create an artwork of the mascot of the winning team!
