[Over] Pokémon Showdown tournament! (WIN 100K)
Good time of the day, reader of this sentence.
[Frost] and #showdown will be hosting a Pokémon Showdown tournament. A game often played by us deserves a little competition after all. Pokémon Showdown is an online Pokémon battle simulator in which you can build Pokémon teams to try out against other people's teams. Pokémon are categorized in tiers, because some Pokémon and items are too overpowered for reasonable play. The tier we will be using is the OverUsed (OU) tier. Make sure you have one or more valid teams for this tier in advance. Here's how this whole thing is going to work.
The first thing to do is to sign up for this tournament, of course. To do this, you only have to post your Showdown tag and GMT in this thread, while clearly stating you are willing to participate. Your Showdown tag can be found in the top-right corner, and is the name you used to sign in to Showdown. I will put your name in the list below.
Because the amount of people who showed up is already far bigger than I anticipated, (thanks guys) I'll limit the amount of spots to 32. Anyone who signs up after that is out. A random number generator will decide who advances one round if we end up with less than 32 people. We will still be playing using a double-elimination bracket, so you have to lose twice to be out.
Registration was closed September 26. 30 people ended up signing up.

Lastly, if you are interested in pokémon showdown, you should make sure to check out #showdown. There is a good chance you will be able to find someone willing to discuss or partake in Pokémon Showdown in this IRC channel, and it is a great place to hang out with neat people who share the same passion for Pokémon. Come say hi!
Rule number one is to stay cool. Enjoy the game. Have fun.
Secondly, all your teams have to be verified OverUsed (OU) teams. You can check if your team is valid through Showdown.
You may use a different team whenever you like, as long as they are all verified OU teams.
You will play Best of Three. The winner, which is the person with two or more wins, advances. After playing the matches, you must post the replays to verify your victory.
Finish your matches within the given time. It's up to you to do so. If the opponent is unresponsive, tell me. I'll pm them and if they don't respond, they get disqualified.
Failure to comply with those rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, ask them in the thread or via pm.
Shout-out to those who made this event possible. They are the very best.
Gargon donated 50k. he's a cool dude. Seriously, with this donation I was able to turn this event big. Thanks so much.
UPDATE: He gave another 75k what the heck, thanks lol.
