UPDATE:TOURNAMENT COMPLETED

Hello everyone and welcome to the Underdogs Tournament, where Pokémon RU and under can shine, hosted by the Pokegym's league!
This will be a tournament where you are only allowed to use Pokémon in the tiers RU and under, so Pokémon rarely seen in competitions can finally have the spotlight. The tournament will take place over a period of 3 days, beginning at Noon GMT 0 on Friday, September 19th, and ending Sunday, September 21st, at Noon GMT 0.

RULES:

1. You are permitted to use Pokémon from the RU,PU (new tier in progress), NU, NFE, and LC tiers in any number, so you can have a team of only LC pokemon, or a team with a little bit from each. This is a list which provides the tiers, but if you have any doubts, please pm me and I will respond.

2.We will be doing singles battles, following Smogons rules for RU and under.

3. The tournament will be done in Multi level format, with a set number of rounds being done. The only difference is that I will not assign battles, players will be responsible for setting up their own battles.
For example, for round one, I would battle against player A, and that would be my first round. I would then battle player B, and that would be my Round 2. You will be responsible for finding and battling people who have not completed all of their rounds. This is being done to accommodate players with limited time frames.

4.You are allowed to use 2 legends per team.

5.In order to participate, you must create a sign in post. In this post, please give your name, your ingame name, and your friend code. You will create another sign in post when you have your first battle in the tournament, and for that post, please follow this format:

Name:
Round #/Opponent
Result:

You will edit your second sign in post with this information for every battle you have. This will make it easier for me to keep track of scores.


PRIZES:
There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. There will also be 2 random participation prizes for 2 players who completed all of the rounds, but did not win the top prizes.

PRIZE 1: Shiny 5iv Adamant Charmander with Dragon Dance, Outrage, and Flare Blitz
PRIZE 2: 6iv Calm Heatran
PRIZE 3: Shiny 5iv Timid Noivern
RANDOM PRIZE 1: 5iv Timid male Cyndaquil in a Luxury ball (Flame burst,Extrasensory,Crush Claw, Flare Blitz)
RANDOM PRIZE 2: 5iv Timid Female Horsea in a Lure Ball

OTHER INFO:
On the day of the tournament, I will place a link to a chat where you can go to find players to battle. It does not require you to sign up, but please change your given name to your Serebii name so people will know who you are.

If you know what times you will be available on those 3 days, please write out what times they are on your sign up post.

In the event of a dc, if a player was going to win before the dc, that player is given the win. If it was too early to see who would have won, you will rebattle using the same starting Pokémon. When posting the results of a dc'd battle, please state that it was a dc.

Just a reminder, Politoed cannot have Drizzle, and Ninetales cannot have Drought, but you are allowed to use them with their other abilities.

In the event that this thread closes, the tournament will continue, but scores and matchups will be put up in the Pokegyms thread.

Have fun with making your teams! The lower tiers have many different Pokémon to pick from, so be creative!

Looking forward to this tourney to see some new pokemon in battles.
Also Smogon has a new tier called PU which is in between RU and NU. I think Emolga is in its S rank.
Also DT...is it called Underdogs or Underdog? I'll redo the banner if it's called the underdog tournament.

THE TOURNAMENT HAS BEGUN! COMPLETE ALL 5 ROUNDS BY SUNDAY!
If you have any concerns, please pm me, I will be around for TODAY ONLY! And remember, you cannot change your teams after your first battle. In the event that,by Sunday, some people who initially signed up do not battle at all, anyone with rounds remaining can battle someone who has completed their rounds. The results will count towards YOUR score, but not for the people who have completed their 5 rounds already. However, you still may not battle the same people twice.


Tournament Spreadsheet
This sheet can be edited by anyone. When you complete a round, please fill in your opponents name, as well as the results in the appropriate columns.
Official Chat Room
Use this Chatroom to set up your battles. When you enter, please change your random name to your Serebii name so that people will know who you are.

I'll do an advanced sign up. However I do believe I have some plannings being made for that weekend as well. So I figure I'll do the whole sign-up/reserve a spot for a sign up now and see what's happening later. Team is kinda built, but I don't think I have to do much breeding at this point.

It's a mystery.
Hmmm... after figuring out the schedule, thank goodness it's one of those tourneys where I can set up a time to challenge my opponents. xD
(Noon GMT = 4 AM for me; plus, I have one class that morning, and don't get home till after around noon my time.)
Here's my early sign-up. Thankfully, I already have a couple of mons in this tier and under raised already. lol

Round: First

Result: Win 2-0
Very good battle, very close! Came down to making the right predictions at the right times and having a speed advantage at the end.

Round: Second
Opponent: MasterGohan
Result: Win 3-0
Cor, I need to catch my breath after that. That was an epic saga of a battle! War of attrition that's for sure. Taking out what I felt was your biggest threat to my team early on gave me the momentum but you got back in it but smart plays that paid off at the end got it for me in the end. Could have easily gone either way!

Round: Third
Opponent: saPower1000
Result: Loss 2-4
Just nothing I could do about one of the Pokemon. Well played too, mind you!

Round: Fourth
Opponent: Cutty
Result: Win 4-0
Taking out the two biggest threats before scoring the hax at the right time got me this one, good game.

Round: Fifth
Opponent: TheShoveler
Result: Loss 2-0
Losing Delphox earlier did it for me. Completely forgot about a priority move and that was it really, damage limitation from then on. Lost a couple of Pokemon from praying they could take a hit when they couldn't but, 2-0 wasn't bad considering. Also: FAIRY. I knew fairies would be a problem after saPower's win and again somewhat undid me here.
