Okay, so I've been planning this for a while. Let's have a tournament over what will be the winter break for most people! It isn't anything serious, and the main purpose of all this is fun, and maybe to take our minds off the divisiveness and tension of national dex and all the baggage that comes with it.

This is a tournament over what will be the New year for most folks on /vp/. It will start on January 11, and rounds will occur every 3 days, until it has completed.

Rules:

1. You have a team of 6 pokemon.
2. Pokemon on your team must all share a chosen type. Your type will be made public.
3. Normal rules. Zacian, Zamacenta, Mew and Eternatus are banned.
4. Matches are 6v6.
5. Be as assholish and dastardly as you want to be. There are no bans on dynamax or moves, aside from the legendaries.
6. Disconnects will count as draws, unless the players decide to redo that particular battle. Having a record of repeated disconnects may result in a disqualification.
7. Unplayed rounds count as a loss. More rules on this forthcoming
8. Mons obtainable in gen 8 only. This shouldn't actually be an issue though, as everyone should have their teams assembled before home is up and running.
9. NO SIMULATORS! Let's do this all through the Switch.
10. Preliminaries are double elimination, until only 1 of each type remains.

There will be anons that can help you breed, trade and practice with the monotype teams you plan on using.

Let's all have fun!
