I HAVE HOTEL ROOMS
Season's Greetings Everyone! Okay, I know that you Americans haven't even had Thanksgiving yet, but let's look past that to December and the magical month of Christmas. I wanted to do something over the holidays when everyone is home or typically has more free time rather than busy with midterms or whatever. And then I decided to make a few tournaments right over Finals Week. But don't worry, folks. While this is a sanctioned Smogon event, these are merely tournaments to play with something we haven't really tried yet in full scale competition. I'm talking of course, about UU/BL and Ubers.
For those of you eagerly awaiting Smogon Tournament #4 (which I'm currently planning as an FYI), think early 2008 instead, and lets just have fun over the winter breaks to come.
Tournament 1: Stantler and Delibird are Coming to Town! {SDCT!} UU/BL
Tiers
Tournament Format:
[Warthog, Sandslash, Ace777, Aeolus, spies, Fishin (Fishin4pigeon), JabbaTheGriffin (Carpool Lane), Pride (IrrelevantElephant), Justice (Justiceq), pathophobe, Mekkah, Jackal, Bologo, theamericandream38, The Dealer, TheMantyke (TheShodyMantyke), Hawk (TheBlackFeather), Batpig, Thunderhorse, Slickee, DekarTKB (Devin Townsend), Team Rocket Elite (TRElite), Mr.E, quinnydinny, sportfreak, Lesm46, goofball, The shadow knight, Dak, TTS, Ae Sakura (Amelia), Cringe
***These folks are on the waitlist for UU/BL. If I can get 16 on the waitlist I'll start a smaller tournament for you all given that this isn't for a prize or anything***

Tournament 2: The Nightmare Before Christmas... {NBC} Ubers
Tournament Format:
skarm, zerowing, Aeroblacktyl (MoP), Lupo Aro (Lupo), Taylorz (Taylor), Silver610, sandman, WER, Mystica, Gouki, freaktron, SePh (Seph.), Train Man, Maniaclyrasist, Blue Kirby, husk (Epsilon), Mr. Unsmiley (bright_noise), Surgo, pat22331, Tsurukawa, Judgement, CaptKirby, TheBM (evan :D!!), goborage, Tyranipole, Kidlat, Andeby, Jebroni (Jeb), Giga Punch, Obi (Graviton), Jibaku, hybrid (hybrid.au)
Because I am unsure of the turnout or interest in these tournaments, you are, currently, only allowed to sign up for one tournament. If participation seems lacking, I will allow you to sign up for both tournaments.
Round 1 for both tournaments will be up on the 26th of November, which gives you just over a week to come up with your teams.
All players must provide: ShoddyBattle name and, if possible, an AIM screenname. If a participant does not use AIM, they must be prepared to check their Smogon Forums Private Messages.
Good luck!

Tournament Format:
- 32 Participants
- Single Elimination
- Battles will be conducted via ShoddyBattle
- Randomized Pairings each round
- Players may use any Pokemon with the exception of Arceus and Shaymin. This is because both Arceus and Shaymin are not, as of yet, legally obtainable anywhere in the world. (Unless I'm really out of the loop).
- Species clause, Sleep clause, and Self-KO clause are all in effect. (Note: You may only use any one form of Deoxys. Using both a Deoxys-F and a Deoxys-L on the same team will not be tolerated.)
- One hit KO moves (Horn Drill, Guillotine, Fissure, and Sheer Cold) are banned.
