    Introduction...

    All players here constantly build a new team for a tournament and keep updating it every now and then. Experienced player have high chances to win than newbies. No need to worry. This tournament is a place where anyone can win. Here come the FUN TIER SHOWDOWN...

    Format...

    This tournament will be a best of five tournament featuring the most dominant fun tiers here on Pokemon Online: Challenge Cup, Inverted Challenge Cup, Metronome, Battle Factory and Battle Factory 6v6. Tiers can be played in any desired order, but the first person to win three matches in their matchup advances to the next round. When playing each fun tier, the rules and clauses that are associated with them must also be activated.

    Other standard Tournament Rules apply and anyone caught breaking them will be disqualified immediately, as with the rules exclusive to this tournament.

    Rules...

    Best of 5.
    Round 1 last between 8 to 14 days (to be ended on Sunday for convenience).
    Other rounds last 7 days.
    If you think you opponent has cheated/lied, give me the logs and if its true, you opponent will be removed from the tour.
    If matches doesn't end in time, I will decide the winner on the basis of activity and vms. If both are equally active/inactive, there will be a coinflip.

    Clauses...

    Challenge Cup - Challenge Clause, Self KO Clause.
    Inverted Challenge Cup - Challenge Clause, Self KO Clause, Inverted Clause (Add a Self KO clause to avoid from a tie).
    Metronome - Species Clause, Self KO Clause.
    Battle Factory - Sleep Clause, Species Clause. Wifi Clause, Self KO Clause.
    Battle Factory 6v6 - Sleep Clause, Species Clause. Wifi Clause, Self KO Clause.

    Signups...

    None so far.

    Well...

    A Best of 5 each round for a non-competitive tour seems like way too much...

    I would rather you shorten it to a Best of 3 tour with tiers that are actually somewhat competitive (at least more than the tiers you have)...

    Tiers like Monotype / Inverted Battle / ORAS Doubles would work if you really wanted "fun" tiers...

    Reject 1/2...

    Hi :^]...

    So the time investment required for this tour is fairly large, considering a Bo5 format... That in itself isn't a problem, providing that the tour itself is sufficiently interesting and fun to participate in... I know from playing in Meowmix's Smeargle tour that tours like this can lose their novelty fairly quickly, especially if they require a time investment like a Bo5 format warrants, or in team-building (not a problem here)... It becomes a drag to schedule and play your matches and many people just don't do it...

    I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with fun tiers themselves, but as a thing you have to set aside 30 mins for and organise with someone rather than their intended "pick up and play" usage I think they fall short of being ideal...

    Of the tiers you listed the one I would accept as a forum tour would be Battle Factory 6v6 as it is actually a reasonably competitive set of metagames to play and, while you can be disadvantaged by team selection, your skill as a player can shine through and win you the game a respectable amount of the time...

    I would accept a Bo3 BF 6v6 but anything less "competitive" than that I am very reluctant to accept...

    Sorry but I'm afraid it's a reject from me 2/2
