Round 1... FITE! Rules & Regulations: Spoiler Introduction: A lot of Pokemon do not get to be part of the NU Metagame. BW2 had a lower tier between NU and LC, called NEU. There are a lot of potential in a lot of underused Pokemon in the Metagame. So this Tour focuses on the Pokemon that might be good and have potention if there was a XY NEU. Based on October 2014 NU usage statistics, all Pokemon under 4% usage percent, with some exceptions, are allowed on teams. All battles must be Played in NU. Link to NU Usage Stats: http://stats.pokemon-online.eu/past-stats/october-2014/XY NU/ranked_stats.txt N.B.: XY Usage stats are being used as ORAS' are a mess and incomplete, but the gen of the tour is ORAS, and ORAS bans apply as well as those made in XY. This is why the bans listed below are needed. Format: ~ Teams must be subjected to NU banlist, and all Pokemon used must be under 4% usage. In addition, new LU to NU drops, (Klefki, Tangrowth, Zoroark), new Mega Evolutions (Lopunny, Pidgeot, Camerupt, Sceptile) and Venomoth (For balancing purposes) are banned from this Tour. You are allowed to use Mega Glalie, and Mega Steelix. ~ Clauses : Sleep Clause, Wifi Battle, Species Clause, Self KO Clause ~ Best of 1, Finals will be best of 3 ~ 1 week of signups ~ No Aim in terms of Players ~ Teams must be Forum PMed, or PMed on Server to insure it follows the Tournament. ~ Deadlines are 1 week, coin flip if inactive. Remember, you cannot play until you have forum or server pm'ed your team. As many of you did not do this, this first round will be extended to 1.5 weeks. There is one available spot. If you want to sub in, you can.

Just so people know, I am still active, I'll have my team PM'ed in a couple of hours. Also, no news on Insane Soul yet, I'll VM him again.
I'm going to have to drop out of this tournament, revision has been a big obstacle recently, especially because I have my Mock Exams in just under 3 weeks, and I'm treating them a lot like my real exams. So yeah, unless it's an official tourney, chances are I'm not going to be playing in it.
Since 6 battles were not completed, the deadline has been extended by 3 days. Please finish your battles by then.
