— How This Works
The goal of this competition is to earn as many points as possible before the PCX ends. How does one get points you ask? 10 points are awarded for each battle that is won, and said points will be recorded in this thread. You will gain 1 extra bonus point for each battle you win in the Ubers, UU, RU, or NU tiers. Losing will not affect your score. So, the more battles you win, the more points you will receive. That's the difference between the competitive and casual tournaments. Here you need to win the most battles; there you need to complete the most battles. Capisce?
Another thing needs to be said: this tournament will be held on the PC Battle Server (click me). If you want to battle with your Pokémon games, check out the casual version of this tournament.
— Signing Up
Just post in this thread saying so with your username(s) for the PC Battle Server. The post you used for signing up must be used for recording your battle results. Update that post for whenever you complete a battle so that we can easily access the battles you've done. Also, please use the format in the spoiler below when listing your battles. If you fail to do any of this, we will not count your battles.
— Finding Battles
Hop on the PC Battle Server and ask for a PCX tournament battle. You can also challenge someone or use the "Look for a battle" button. Just bear in mind that we will only count battles you have done with people who have signed up for this tournament.
— Other Rules
• T&E's General Battle Rules must be followed.
• Please avoid rejecting challenges. It's alright if you're busy making a team, but if we find that you are purposely avoiding challenges from certain people (that are being civil), we will be entitled to reduce your point score or even disqualify you.
• Participants may change their teams any time during this tournament.

Simply ask in this thread, but be sure to include stuff like which game you will be using as well as any additional rules you want to use. Please handle communication outside of this thread. Replies to battle requests should be done via private or visitor message, as well as any additional messages (i.e. "I'm getting online").
For convenience, you can ask for a "standard" battle and the ban list in the spoiler below will be assumed. Obviously, you don't have to use this particular ban list. Any different rules can be used, just make them known when you request for battles.
(All formes of these Pokémon are banned as well.)
This is the ban list the VGC and Battle Subway use. It's essentially "no legendaries," with some exceptions.
— Other Rules
• T&E's General Battle Rules must be followed.
• Please avoid rejecting challenges. After making a battle request in this thread, you must accept the challenges that come as a result. Don't want to battle anymore? Edit your posting saying so. If we find that you are purposely avoiding challenges from certain people (that are being civil), we will be entitled to reduce your point score or even disqualify you.

General concept
Both tournaments will be based on a point system. The goal of the competition is to win as many points as possible which is accomplished by winning battles. Losing battles do not affect one's score, but it is possible to lose points by breaking the rules. There will be no specific ban lists for either tournaments; players can ask for any sort of battle. There will be two tournaments: one for Wi-Fi, the other for Pokémon Showdown (or Pokémon Online if we fail to fix the PS server's issues in time). Wi-Fi will be casual; PS will be competitive.
WI-FI ONLY:
Winners will receive 10 points per battle regardless of which ban lists or clauses are used.
POKÉMON SHOWDOWN ONLY:
Points awarded per battle can vary depending on the tier played in:
How the threads will be used
For Wi-Fi, there will be one thread for signing up, posting battle results, questions, etc. Participants must use one post for compiling all their battle results, and update it accordingly for new battles. There will also be a second thread for requesting battles only (?). This thread will be pretty much identical to the "Quick Battle Requests" sticky, but for the tournament.
For PS, same as above but without the second thread (because there's a battle server for finding battles).
Battle rules
WI-FI ONLY:
- The "standard" Pokémon ban list for the tournament will be the VGC / Battle Subway's instead of a fan-made ban list:
Other than the Pokémon ban list, the standard battle rules will still be followed. This means that PC's standard clauses will be used, not VGC's. Like I said before, players are not required to use this ban list (or others), it is only there for convenience. If one asks for a "standard battle" in the thread, this ban list will be assumed.
- General Battle Rules (These rules might get rewritten/improved later, but you get the idea. I will also edit the rules to make it clear that some of them are exclusive to battle simulators.)
- Participants may change their teams anytime during these tournaments.
POKÉMON SHOWDOWN ONLY:
- If a participant rejects a challenge, they will lose 10 points.
The "no more than five battles between the same players" rule is absent from these tournaments due to activity. Might be added during the tournaments if activity is significantly better than expected.

NOT COMPLETE
BW2 Ubers, UU, RU, NU, - 12 points
BW2 OU, DPP OU, ADV OU, GSC OU - 11 points
Any other tiers/rules: 10 points
The slight increase in points for the other BW2 tiers sans OU is to encourage the use of different metagames and freshen things up a bit.
