    Will set up more proper stuff for this later but going to chuck my general thoughts for the event here

    - Any random format on Showdown is viable for earning points in the event.
    - Every day I'll RNG from the random formats for a special one that will be worth more points.
    - Will use the suggested point rubric for a long term event.


    Some achievement thoughts:
    - Achieve multiple 6-0 wins
    - Battle 10 different people in one day
    - Never battle someone on your own team

    Not sure how much each should be worth though.

    The Random Rumble
    Get-Together 2023's One and Only Randbat Tournament

    Do you like battling? Do you like having no clue what team you'll be battling with? Are you a fan of fun? Then the Random Rumble is the competitive Pokemon tournament for you. Over the course of the Get-Together, you can compete in assorted random battle formats to earn glory for your Professor's team.

    How This Works

    To join the Random Rumble, all you have to do is post down below that you're in. After that, it doesn't get much more complicated. It's just battles and scorekeeping.

    Throughout the tournament's duration, you can battle anyone else who is participating in the Rumble and as many times as you like. It's a bit of a free-for-all. You can even use any random battle format over available on Smogon's main Showdown server for those battles. If you battle someone on the opposing team, you will earn 10 points for a victory and 5 points for a loss. If you battle someone on your own team, you will earn 5 points if you win and no points for losing.

    Additionally, each day a special highlight format will be posted in this thread. If you win a battle in that special format, then you can add an additional five points the points you earn for winning.

    Remember that consistency is key. Your best bet to achieve victory is to battle as much as you can - especially against members of the opposing team. You do need to keep track of your wins and losses and your point total in a single post in this thread and separated by when the special format changes though. Anything else will not be counted.

    The Random Rumble will run through August 12th - August 27, 11:59 p.m. EST

    Get-Together Points

    Naturally, earning a lot of points in the tournament will lead to earning points for your team in the Get-Together as well. Anyone who participates should be able to contribute to their team's score while the three people who place highest will bring in a higher number of points for their team as shown below.

    Participation (at least three battles): 10 pts
    Third Place: 50 pts
    Second Place: 100 pts
    First Place: 150 pts

    In addition to the above, you may also earn GT points through the below Achievements.

    The One to Beat: The battler with the most 6-0 wins at the end of the tournament (as long as they have five or more) will win 15 points for their team.
    Frenzied Battler: The first competitor to battle 10 different people in one day will earn an additional 10 points for their team.
    Bitter Rival: The participant with the most battles but the fewest against members of their own team will earn 10 points for their team.
