Announcement Thread (By Jinji)

Professor Oak once said that there are many kinds of people who use Pokémon - those who keep them as pets; those who use them for battle; and those who perform research. If you're in the second camp, congratulations! Your game is just about to get a whole lot interesting.

The PWO Staff are soon to launch PWO's second official regular in-game event. Once again, the Players and Staff butt heads; but this time, there's a lot more on the line than just points. This time, the Pokémon get a slice of the action; as we test the battle skills of the PWO Community against other players AND Staff, in an event we're dubbing:

The Legendary Cup!

The Legendary Cup is a multi-stage Pokémon Battle Tournament that puts everyone's abilities to the test. Players who sign up to the Tournament will be randomly assigned into Heats; each Heat will contain an even amount of Players PLUS one Staff Member who has pre-signed for the Tournament. The members of each heat battle each other in a round-robin style tournament - in other words, you will battle every other member of your Heat once. Once all battles have been completed, the member of each Heat that achieves the most wins will advance to the second stage of the tournament - in the event of a tie, tie-break battles will be conducted until a winner is a decided.

In the second stage, the Heat Winners will face off in a single-elimination tournament. Losing is no longer an option - now it's time to go big or go home. Whoever wins the final battle, wins not only the glory of proving themselves to be one of PWO's best battlers, but also an extremely coveted prize. What's that, you may ask? Well, it's not called the Legendary Cup for nothing...

The Rules to participate are as follows:

Rules
You are advised to use a complete team of six; otherwise you may put yourself at a disadvantage.
No One-Hit KO Moves.
No moves that cause your own Pokémon to be Knocked Out.
No Doubles.
You can't switch out your pokemon.
No Borrowing Pokemon.
If you don't turn up for a match, you forfeit that match.
In the event of a disconnect, players can mutually agree to a rematch to complete the battle. However, if one declines, the victory is given to the player who did not disconnect.
BRING IT!!!!
