    Introduction
    These days, you're commonly restricted to taking down the most common threats that shine in the UU tier, whether it be having an answer to Mega Metagross or the other high firepower that runs rampant. However, how would teams look if they were constricted in a rather... spellbinding way? With this tournament, we will be restricting teams to spell actual words that are 6 letters long and placing them in the ORAS UU tier. Let's see the creativity fly!

    Format
    This tournament shall be run in the ORAS UU tier, with a BO1 battle system until the semi-finals and finals, which will be BO3. In addition, every round, you must have a team that spells a different 6 letter word. A list of 6-letter words can be found here: http://wordfinder.yourdictionary.com/letter-words/6. Besides that, all usual restrictions apply. For example, round 1 you can have a team that spells APPLES (Abra, Piplup, Pancham, Ledyba, Eevee, Skitty), but round 2 you must have another word spelled, like perhaps BANANA (Bunnelby, Abra, Buizel, Archen, Natu, Aipom). So I can confirm this, please send me a log of the game after each match.

    Rules
    -Tier: ORAS UU (Sleep, Species, Wifi, and Self-KO Clauses)
    -Best of 1 (semi-finals and finals are best of 3)
    -Round 1 will last one week, with all following rounds lasting two weeks
    -Teams must spell a 6-letter word in the team preview. For example, if you were to use the APPLES example from above, they must be listed out in that exact order.

    Sign-ups
    None so far! 16/32 spots remain!

    Hi. We appreciate the enthusiasm to submit tournaments but you still have 2 in the queue currently. As such we would like to postpone approval or rejection of this tournament until one of your current tournaments has passed.

    As for what I think of this tournament's idea.
    I don't think it's bad really. I thought it would be less of a restriction than it actually is at first glance. Mostly due to the lack of the letter E in common LC Pokémon. I would probably end up approving this if not for the point in the first lines. So I'm going to leave this here. Once your first tournament in the queue has passed, feel free to post and tag the TDs to get this looked at properly.

    I could easily rework it into an OU tour if that's preferable, changing OP and all. And I understand, I'll tag you guys when my first one gets out of the queue.

    @Weavile @Raducan @Samphire

    Application is now updated, with the tour now being ORAS UU instead of ORAS LC to allow for more options.
