    Introduction
    As seen in our official tournaments, there is occasionally a prediction bracket open, such as in the LTT. However, what if we were to make these predictions matter? That's right, now we're combining betting with Pokemon! Just don't call the cops, we don't want to come under fire like Michael Vick.

    Format
    This tournament will be run in the ORAS OU tour (standard rules and all), but mixed with bets and predicting. Every player will start with 100 points with 100 more points to bet on up to 5 matches. The player may not bet on their match and may not bet more than 30 points on a single match. As betting is required for this tournament, on top of the usual 7 days (round 1 will as long as the other rounds this time), there will be 2 days at the start of the round for everyone to submit their bets, which may either be PM'd or posted in the round thread. A bet post/PM should look something along the lines of this:

    Player C:
    A v K (30)
    B v P (10)
    G v Q (25)
    L v J (25)
    O v Z (10)

    For every match you predict correctly, you earn double those points and for every match you mispredict, you lose that total. For example, if C's first 3 picks are correct and the last two are wrong, their total at the end of round 1 would be 195. (100+30(2)+10(2)+25(2)-25-10). The final tidbit about scoring itself is whether or not you win. If you win, you get half of the total you started with that round, rounding down (so r1 win would put you at 150) whereas you lose half, rounding down if you lose. These calculations are put into place before the bet points. At the end of the round, the players who place in the lower half of the point total (so bottom 16 in a round of 32, etc) are eliminated from the tournament. Scores at the end of the round carry into the next round.

    Rules
    -ORAS OU (Sleep, Species, Wifi, Self-KO)
    -Best of 1 (semi-finals and finals are BO3)
    -All rounds last 9 days, with 2 days at the start of the round being open for bets
    -If the player does not place a bet at the start of the round, they simply will not reap the benefits of betting. On the other hand, if the player does bet, they must bet all points. Points not bet will not be added to their total and will merely fade away.

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