As some of you may be aware of, I run semi-regular pokemon tournaments in my area. We do it via the wireless DS features as we do not have a venue which can host TVs/Wii for PBR and so forth.
We play (and most likely always will) 3v3 under the "Standard Cup" rules which is Item Clause, Species and Uber Clause (some ubers excepted such as the Lati@s, but we ban Soul Dew anyway) and Maximum Level 50 with no scaling - It's basically a Level 50 Stadium Mode)
Currently I use Mantis (UDE's tournament program) and run 6 Round Swiss with Top 4. (6 rounds minimum as otherwise Mantis doesn't allow me to do finals) We (the group of regular attendies) are thinking of expanding, and maybe changing the format we run.
Smogon, what, in your opinion, would be the ideal 3v3 tournament structure? We do not want knockout as that is how some of us got knocked out in the recent Nintendo tournament over here and it heavily relys on luck.
