Hello! Since this community overwhelmingly voted to play in a seasonal-style tournament, Fireburn and I want to get a summer seasonal up ASAP.
Each round will feature a Best of 3 series in standard ORAS Ubers format. The tournament will be double-elimination, so if you are brutally haxed out by a blatantly inferior player, don't worry! You'll have a second chance to be haxed by an inferior player in the loser's bracket! Deadlines will be strict, and each round will last a week with no extensions. The Summer Seasonal will last 6-7 weeks depending on how many people sign up, and if all goes well, a Fall Seasonal will follow shortly thereafter. We will also be keeping a leaderboard to keep track of how everyone performs. I want to score in the same way SmogTours does (where you get a point for every round you advance, barring a bye), but will talk to TD's and Fireburn about optimal ways to keep track of the leaderboard.
Everyone loves talking about "power ranking" current ORAS players, but now we have an objective way to show how good (or bad!) you people actually are at this game.
Post "in" if you would like to participate. This thread will be moved to the tournaments forum tomorrow, but I wanted you guys to have first dibs for signing up.
Note: Moving this to the "tournaments" section now. Sign-ups will stop once we get 128 people; anyone who signs up after that will be made a priority substitute.
