    Introduction: Little Cup Balanced Hackmons (LCBH) is a tier of my own invention that combines the cuteness of Little Cup with the sheer Balancedness of Hackmons. It has been played for 2ish weeks on the #! KSG ! channel on the PO server with a good amount of success. Many things have shown themselves as viable (Including Sunkern and Magikarp) and I expect many more will during the course of this tour. These teams have been shown to be quite powerful for having such weak Pokemon, as my LCBH team (when moved to lv 100) ALMOST beat Anielday's legitimate OU team (This was while Lando was still legal). I bet the 5% of you who auctually read this are already super bored, so Ill just skip on down to the rules

    Rules:
    1. Battles will take place in the ORAS Balanced Hackmons tier, because we need it to work.
    2. All clauses normally enforced in ORAS Little Cup are enabled (Sleep, Wifi, Species, Self-KO, Endless Battle)
    3. Battles will occur with Pokemon at Lv5. No Pokemon above or below Lv5 are permitted.
    4. All Pokemon must be at their lowest stage of Evolution, and must be able to evolve
    5. All things normally banned in ORAS Balanced Hackmons are banned
      • OHKO moves
      • Wonder Guard
      • Huge Power
      • Pure Power
      • Shadow Tag
      • Arena Trap
      • Parental Bond
      • Evasion Moves
      • Assist
      • Chatter
      • 1 -ate ability per team (Aerilate, Pixilate, etc)
    6. All things normally banned in ORAS Little Cup are banned
      • Gligar
      • Meditite
      • Misdreavus
      • Murkrow
      • Scyther
      • Sneasel
      • Swirlix
      • Tangela
      • Yanma
      • Dragon Rage
      • Sonic Boom
      • Swagger
    7. Berry Juice and Eviolite are banned due to encouraging people to play stallish boosting shenanigans
    8. All Pokemon must have a nickname. Because I said so. This is a joke, take it as such.
    9. Rounds will last 1 week, signups and R1 will be 1.5
    10. Best of 1 until Semis, Bo3 onward
    Still have a schedule issue, see my last thread for it bla bla bla...

    Man that banner came out bigger than I expected. Oh well... I still like the LC pokemon using a bunch of OP moves on a poor little Amaura, but having Amaura just Spiky Sheild it off while still smiling. Because Amaura is so cute.

    You see this is silly. Your reasoning for this is completely off. If you want to ban Berry Juice because Sturdy->Juice->Boosting on everything will get silly then I can understand that. But banning it and Eviolite on grounds of "making people play stally" is honestly just dumb.
    So I can support a ban on Berry Juice for the reason I stated. But I can't support a ban on Eviolite for effectively no reason.

    I'm assuming 8 is a joke so I'm ignoring it. If not then that's a problem too.

    Rounds being 1 week is fine I don't rly think you need 1.5

    Bo3 from semis onwards would be preferable imo. Investment in a tour like this enough to make 3 teams if you're not close to the finals is not easy.

    Requiring importables is also kind of pointless. Almost all of the bans are painfully obvious if someone's using them. It's not much more a problem in this tour than normal tours.

    Yea, I do see that... Ill remove the Eviolite ban.

    8 is a joke, Ill strikethrough it later :P

    Ill probably leave week 1 and signups as 1.5, then 1 week for subsequent rounds, mabye allowing more time for the Bo3s

    I agree with this looking back as well. Ill change it.

    AAAAANNNNNDDDD I wont require importables. All changes will be made in the OP asap
