Erik and I have decided to host a Pokemon Tournament of Champions. We have tried to make the rules and regulations as simple and easy to follow as possible. To participate in this tournament all you need is an internet connection as we will be competing on Pokemon Showdown. Pokemon Showdown is easy to use and doesn't even require that you download any content. You don't even have to create an account if you don' want to, it's that easy.
Scenario:
In our tournament there will be Gym Leader Teams and Trainer teams.
There will be 8 Gym Leaders. Most of the Gym Leader spots are already filled, but feel free to let us know in this thread if you are interested in being a gym leader. (Note: Gym Leader’s may also have a standard trainer team.) Gym leader Teams must be mono-type just as they are in the games, and there cannot be 2 Gym leader teams with the same type. contact me if you wish to know what types are already taken.
The number of trainer teams is hypothetically infinite. As many people can be trainers as want to. Just let us know you’re interested by PMing me, or posting in this thread.
The Gym Leaders will give out badges of their creation to any trainers who can defeat them in a standard match (rules for matches will be expanded upon later.) Each trainer gets two chances to battle against each Gym Leader. If the trainer is victorious they receive a badge, if they lose they receive nothing.
Every trainer who receives all 8 badges is then entered in the Tournament of champions. Champions will all face each other once and whoever has the best record wins. Winner will be crowned champion and enshrined for eternity. Ties will be settled with an additional sudden death match. Trainers who do not make the tournament of champions will be ranked by the number of badges they earn and ties will be settled with a sudden death match.
