Let's have a tournament over December holidays! 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, as well as your team, when the tourney kicks off.
3. Matches will be played in the normal rules ruleset. 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.
11. No moveset or item changes allowed, once you register your team, it is locked and you cannot change moves, EVs or items.
There will be anons that can help you breed, trade and practice with the monotype teams you plan on using.
This tool can help you with planning your teams, make sure you filter them by typing.
https://plan.pokemonteams.io/ Submit your teams in the following form, make sure to include moves and items, those cant be replaced once submitted, if you replace them, it will lead to disqualification.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rEhAfnrcNRKno9WQH7OfTgUf9AQ1dJVEk4BfHmFlUhI Let's all have fun!

>>41777814 Is it really a good idea to post the team's type?
someone may choose a type because can manage the most common one

>>41777831 The tourney can't start if there isnt at least a type rep for each of the 18 types.

>>41777831 If anything, posting these numbers either encourages people to rep a type that's not already on there or pick the same one to prove they're the better type user

We really should put up a Discord. That would help to coordinate. And could be used in the future, since these have been happening for years.
