I think banning roar/WW and fire blast would really help, since the three teams I have seen besides mine all use skarms and lots of fire blast. It is gay.

Yea, and Rapid Spin are not banned, so use it! With no Leftovers, ghosts will die pretty easily anyways.

Fire Blast helps curb the Skarm factor, since it's seriously been untouched by nearly all the move bannings, unless I'm forgetting something...

And like I said before, if you're seeing that all the time, then you should have no problem thinking up of a counter. :p

Alright everyone, here's some answers to a few questions being raised.

Some moves I left UNBANNED for a reason (IE Fire Blast, Thunder, Spikes, etc). For the last time, the list is now final. If it's not on the list, it's not banned. Period. Same goes for items. I understand the confusion with the "evasion ban". For clarification, brightpowder/lax incense/quick claw etc are NOT BANNED.
 
Not in(because I hate standard), but instead of struggling to get 128, wouldn't it be possible to make it 96 and do a round robin finals? Or just reduce it to the first 64 people and make the rest subs or something?

Alright guys, since the signups are slow now and 128 is doubtful, I'm thinking of doing 96 people. I had a different idea for evening it out though. I could do Round Robin finals, OR I could issue 32 random Byes for the first round. this would in effect level the field down to 64 following the first round, and making the tournament run as normal. Any objections to this? Which option sounds better?
 
I don't think Justin is going to allow you to give 32 random byes in Round 1...to be safe you're better off going for 96 with the round robin finals.

I like the Round Robin final idea. In the event of a tie, though (like I beat Sanders, who beats chaos, who beats me), what happens?

Option 3: Disqualify anyone who qualified for this tournament that has 3 posts or less! This would also in effect make the whole rest of the tournament run much, much faster.
 
After this and SF the "banned from joining tournaments" list should be made a litttle bigger.

I personally prefer Round Robin over the byes. Kinda unfair to those that do need to get their battles in.
