Smogon Tournament Rules (Read me!)
What is The Wyoming Tournament?
This is the fourth installment of The Wyoming Tournament. It is a randbat (Random Battle for you folks who are not familiar with the term of olden days).And now it's time for all of the titles to be reset... PRIZE TIME! These theoretical titles will be yours for the time being until the next tournament.
1st Place - King of Wyoming: You rule "No Place Here". You're rather oblivious to your brother.
2nd Place - Prince of Wyoming: You are the successor of "No Place Here". You meddle too much into others affairs.
3rd Place - The King's brother: You always have a wicked scheme to kill off the King and Prince to be the new king of Wyoming but always fails due to someone or something interfering every single time.
4th Place - Queen of Wyoming: You're just there. Nobody cares about you.
5th-8th Place - Knights/Wizard/Meddling Kids: You seem to stop the King's brother despite being pathetic.
9th Place - Jester: You're the nuissance of the castle. You need to be killed, but nobody can get rid of you because the Queen enjoys your entertainment.
10th-16th Place - Palace Guards: You "protect" the palace, but you are all a bunch of dunderheads.
Anywhere else - Peasant: Zug zug.
Failure to complete battle: Dead (Casualty of Bad Luck)
General Rules
Registration Deadline: Wednesday, June 17th, 9:00 PM, PDT.

General Rules
- This tournament is completely based on luck.
- You agree that you cannot bitch and moan about bad luck in this tournament due to the above disclaimer.
- The Wyoming Tournament is a Double Elimination, best two out of three match style of play.
- The size limit is not available. Instead, I will just go on a setup 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, you get the picture. However, if the registrations close and the next cap is almost reached, I'll just let everyone have a go.
- Substitutes will only participate if a person fails to complete their match during round one.
- There's no such thing as "Scouting" in Randbats. So, you can freely watch matches without any drawbacks. Even though it is just a blanket rule.
- Logs are not required this time around, but would be rather nice to get! (Sometimes matches can be really good)
- The Wyoming Tournament will be ran on Shoddy Battle.
- Battles will not be able to be played on DPBots due to Platinum. Sorry :(
- Oh, and to register, just post something in this thread along with the word "in." Not just "in". I'll ignore your registration if you do!
- Random Battle
- Check this rule when challenging an opponent and each player will be given a team of any pokémon. (Using this does not reset what team you were using)
- Level Balance
- Pokémon levels are to be adjusted for compensation of their strength, moves, etc.
- Species Clause
- Two of the same pokémon cannot be on one team. A team cannot have two Charmanders for example.
- Sleep Clause
- A player is not allowed to put two of his or her opponent's pokémon to sleep.
- Self-KO Clause
- A Pokémon may not use a Self-KO move to force a draw of a battle.
- Timed Battle
- A match will have a time limit for a use of moves. If a player's choice expires within that time, he or she will lose.
Registration Deadline: Wednesday, June 17th, 9:00 PM, PDT.
