I now present to you a very interesting and highly entertaining tournament type. First brought to Serebii by those in Dracaena, the oldest current guild. Ran by Kots last year I have returned to run the tournament once again I hereby present to you, the third edition of Serebii's Word Tournament!
Do not post on this thread unless you are posting an application to join the tournament, posting a completed battle form, or making an activity post. No exceptions.
The Breakdown:
So here's how this tournament is going to work. Each member competing in the tourney will have to pick one 5 letter word. Once the tournament begins, the words you chose will be randomly distributed to all competing members. You must create a team whose ENGLISH letters begin with the letters in your word.
Let me make this VERY CLEAR. The word that you submit is NOT the word you will receive for the next round of the tournament.
For example, say I got the word 'HEART'. That would mean I could create a team using Haxorus (H), Empoleon (E), Accelgor (A), Reuniclus (R), and Tyranitar (T). The last slot in your team will be a wildcard of your choice. (For the record, that team would be awful.)
