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.



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. PM whoever is running the tournament your username and friend code to enter. Make sure to join the chat and register early! The link will be provided at the end of this post.

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 yours truly) to everyone that enters the tournament to use in future live tournaments, or one of the many premier challenges being held across the US (and the world?).This week, Professor Birch will be running the bracket, so send your PMs to him when you see him on IRC!The rules are simple:This week, we'll be giving away landog the ORAS-caught Landorus. Landorus-Therian is by far the most common and threatening non-mega in the metagame right now, with a fearsome attack stat that powers a terrifyingly powerful Earthquake and the best support ability in the game, Intimidate, landog will certainly find a place in many a team.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 Landorus and stop by #smogonvgc this Friday to show your support for VGC on Smogon! I hope to see you then!
