The format is SV OU, but with a twist! At the end of each round, all remaining participants will vote to either unban an Uber, or ban an OU Pokemon! You will pick from a list of options, and the choice with the most votes will go into effect next round. In case of tiebreakers, a coinflip will determine the result. To vote for the first round, simply post "Ban [option]" or "Unban [option]" in your signup. For subsequent rounds, votes should be posted alongside replays. These decisions will last until the end of the tournament, so be careful what you pick!
Vote for one of the following options:
1. Ogerpon-Wellspring
2. Darkrai
3. Kyurem
4. Kingambit
5. Gliscor
