Flat Doubles, pentagon Pokemon ONLY. Basic VGC rules here, folks. If it's not allowed on ORAS Battle Spot, it isn't allowed here.

For the purpose of having the tournament run on time, strategies such as Minimize are STRONGLY discouraged. Id' like to keep this tournament fun and fast; these strategies are neither.



Competitors will need a copy of Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire to enter.



The tournament will be Swiss, best of one with a top cut that will be determined by how many people enter (or depending on time constraints)



Each round will last a maximum of 30 minutes. If the match is not completed within the timeframe, it will be up to the host to decide who wins or who loses.

If there is a disconnection, it will be up to the host to decide who wins or who loses. Make sure to have a camera handy to get some proof if you're nervous about this.



Since this is a non-weighted practice tournament, you may change your team between rounds. However, it might be better practice for you not to do so.

You must join the IRC channel #smogonvgc in order to participate.

HOW TO RECEIVE TORNADUS:

Step 1: Catch a Whismur

Step 2: Offer the Whismur for a Tornadus on the GTS. If you haven't registered Tornadus in your Pokedex yet, you can type its name in at the bottom.

Step 3: Enter your username that you entered the tournament with in the message box, or simply put #smogonvgc. If you don't do this, you'll be ignored!

Step 4: At about 4:30pm EST, our distributor will start giving out the Tornadus. Refresh the GTS to receive your Tornadus. Enjoy!

Hi everyone, in an effort to promote activity here in the VGC subforum, we'll be holding a practice tournament(GMT -6). If this tournament goes over well enough, we'll do more like it and hopefully have more fun stuff for everyone.(soft reset by Nelson_Tangela)to use in future live tournaments, or one of the many premier challenges being held across the US (and the world?).This week, myself and Professor Birch will be running the bracket.The rules are simple:This week, we have a ORAS native Tornadus courtesy of Nelson_Tangela. Between its two forms, its got some powerful special attacking prowess behind it with what's probably the best offensive type in the game. Enjoy!So even if you're not confident in your skills or your team, remember that this is just for practice and that you're getting a free Tornadus. Stop by #smogonvgc this Friday to show your support for VGC on Smogon! I hope to see you then!This has been going for 6 weeks now and it's really incredible. Let's keep it up!
