Tournament Format
*After registration is complete, competitors will be randomly placed into groups (the size of groups depends on how many people apply).
*Each competitor will battle the other competitors in their group in a round Robin(lol) format .
*Group battles do not have to take place in a specific order, but all battles must be completed in the designated time frame.
*Competitors with the highest points in each group will advance to play offs, where the winner of the tournament will be decided.
*Competitors get 2 points for winning a battle.
*In addition, if a competitor wins against an opponent who has a type that is super effective against their type they gain 1 bonus point. A competitor may also gain 1 consolation point if they lose (0-2), or (0-1) to someone who has a type super effective against theirs (NOTE: Type resistances and immunities do not count towards bonus and consolation points.
*In the event of a tie in the group stage the winner will be determines by who has the better KO deficit. If it is still a tie the two competitors will battle to decide who advances.
