After ~4 years, there is finally another Crew tournament on Smogon. Any Smash Bros players/fans proabbly know this format, as it is quite popular. In this tournament, the crew format is applied to Pokemon.
For those unfamiliar, http://www.ssbwiki.com/Crew_battle is a rundown of how the crew format works in SSBM. Here's how it would work in this tournament:
-Players are divided into teams of three members.
-Play begins with a regular 6 vs. 6 Pokemon battle between the first player from each team. The player who loses this match (through losing all six of his/her Pokemon) is eliminated from the round.
-The winner of this match must play the next representative of the loser's team. This new player will have a full team of six Pokemon. This winner's fainted Pokemon are not revived, so if he won with two Pokemon remaining, he may only use those two Pokemon in this match. Match winners are not forced to leave until they lose; in theory, a single player could eliminate an entire team if he/she was good enough.
-Play continues this way until all of a team's Pokemon/players are eliminated.

1. Josh / 2. Cased / 3. Ice Tea
vs.
Team Ambipom
1. Feliburn / 2. thecrystalonix / 3. Kableye
Team Amoonguss consists of Josh, Cased, and Ice Tea. They are facing Team Ambipom, consisting of Feliburn, thecrystalonix, and Kableye.
- Josh beats Feliburn 2-0, with a Breloom and a Dugtrio left, so he can only use that Breloom and Dugtrio vs. the next Ambipom player, thecrystalonix.
- thecrystalonix 6-0's Josh. He can use his full team against Amoonguss' next player, Cased.
- thecrystalonix 1-0es Cased, with a Gyarados living. He can only use Gyarados vs. his next opponent, Ice Tea.
- thecrystalonix 1-0es Ice Tea with Gyarados. Team Amoonguss has no players remaining.
- Team Ambipom wins.
Tour Rules:
- There will be a cap of 32 teams, all of which will consist of three members. These teams will be pitted against each other in a single elimination bracket.
- Teams are allowed one substitute throughout the tournament.
- The first person listed on each team will be the first person to play for that team. The player who plays first in a round will be changeable before a round starts, but not once the round starts without the explicit approval of the opponent's team.
- After the first member of your team loses, you can choose which of your 2 remaining players plays first.
- The person who wins a match must in the next match use whatever Pokemon he had remaining at the end of the match, no more, no fewer. So basically, the winner uses the same team and removes the KO'd mons.
- HP/PP do not carry over for non-fainted Pokemon. All non-fainted Pokemon are restored to full health.
- Players are free to alter their teams at any time, except after they play. A player is free to alter their Pokemon's sets, but not the mons themselves after a victory. For example, if you win a battle 1-0 with a Keldeo, you can change it from Choice Specs to RestTalk after the battle if you wish but you can not change it to another mon.
- And let me be clear: your order in descending order is the order in which you play. For example, in wong iswam vs Jolteonlovers, blarghlfarghl will play Void first, then whoever loses is subbed out for the guy below them, etc. The vs is mostly just there to seperate the teams, it doesn't mean much.
Battling Rules:
- All standard clauses apply. In addition:
- Ties: If a battle ends in a tie, both players are considered eliminated, and both teams must send in new players.
- If no players remain on either team, self-KO clause will act as a tiebreaker.
