    Jan-Ken-Po(kémon) Tournament!
    approved by Eternal

    (SIGN UP PHASE IS OVER.)

    Okay, no fancy themed teams here. This is a 1v1 tournament. Face to face. No stealth rocks, no baton passing stat ups around, no phazing. Just plain man to man duels.

    This is the sign up thread in which people can sign up to join the tournament until 23:59 GMT Sunday, July 25th.
    The first round starts the following day, when I post the thread for the first round. The round will go until Sunday, August 1st. The following rounds will be Monday-Sunday.

    I hope this turns out to be fun for everyone!

    Note: this tournament was inspired by this thread on the Smogon Forums. Check it out, because they have many ideas for Pokémon and strategies to be used in this metagame. But try to be creative and make your own movesets!


    Rules
    • The tier for this tournament is OverUsed (OU), which means no Pokémon in the Uber tier can be used. The Pokémon in the Uber tier are the ones in this page: http://www.smogon.com/dp/tiers/uber
    • Each round goes Monday-Sunday. Matches not finished with both players inactive will be decided by a coin flip.
    • Players are required to save their logs, but not send them to me. Simply PM me (ingame or in the forums) saying who won the match. If here is any conflict it will be resolved by a mod, to which the logs will then be sent.
    • Each round you will be given an opponent. You will battle your opponent three (3) times, and the group of those three battles in the round is called match. Each battle you must only use one (1) Pokémon (that is not Uber tier). You are advised to change your Pokémon each battle, but not required to. If both players don't change their Pokémon, the battle then does not count and both of them will then need to change their Pokémon for the next battle.
    • The winner of a match is the player who wins 2 out of the 3 battles. The third battle is optional and for entertaining purposes only if the match is already decided (2-0 in two battles). The winner of a match advanced to the next round.
    • Inbetween battles, matches and rounds you can change your Pokémon in any way you want to and use as many different Pokémon as you want. Be creative!
    • All battles shall be played on Beta Server at the Pokemon Online client unless both players agree to play on another server/client. If there is any disagreement follow the rule as stated.
    • Battle rules:
      - Hax Items Clause: Bright Powder, Focus Band, Quick Claw, Lax Incense, King's Rock, Razor Fang, Scope Lens, and Razor Claw cannot be held by your Pokémon.
      - Focus Sash Clause: Focus Sash cannot be held by your Pokémon.
      - Evasion Clause: a Pokémon may not use Double Team or Minimize.
      - Accuracy Clause: a Pokémon may not use Flash, Kinesis, Sand-attack, or Smokescreen (Accuracy changes via Sandstorm+Sand Veil, for example, are still allowed).
      - OHKO Clause: a Pokémon may not use Horn Drill, Sheer Cold, Guillotine,or Fissure.
      - Self-KO Clause: a Pokémon may not use Destiny Bond, Explosion, Perish Song, Selfdestruct or Memento

    Healing Wish fails anyway if you're the last pokémon alive.

    But on a side note, are self healing moves allowed? I.e.: Roost, rest, etc.? You didn't say they weren't, but I just want to clarify.

    what about "forced tie" moves? Leads like Frosslass and Gallade have the notorious Destiny Bond, and there is also the ever present Explosion on many pokemon. That could easily save someone from a loss when in a pinch. Will there be a clause that the user of such moves automatically forfeits in order to prevent them?

    (not interested in joining for now, but if this is implemented I might be)

    Uh, I'll exemplify.

    Battle 1:
    Red uses Ludicolo
    Gold uses Charizard


    Ok, nothing wrong here.

    Battle 2:
    Red uses Ludicolo again
    Gold uses Charizard again


    Now, this can't happen, because they BOTH used the same again. So they do Battle 2 over

    Battle 2:
    Red uses Blastoise
    Gold uses Venusaur


    Alright, they both had to switch their Pokémon.

    Battle 3:
    Red uses Ampharos
    Gold uses Venusaur again

    Only one of them reused a Pokémon, so this is fine.

    I think that's enough time for sign ups. You should start it up at 24 and and leave the rest as substitutes.
