This is similar to the KIU tournament, but accessible to almost everyone. I'll be hosting a Showdown tourney and anyone can participate.
If you didn't know, Pokemon Showdown is a Pokemon battle simulator where you can customize your own team and test out creative strategies.

There will be a tournament for OU, Uber, and Random formats. You can sign up for all of them if you'd like, but space is limited(unless people don't sign up). Remember to include your Showdown name and which formats you're signing up for.

There are no specific rules, just remember to prepare a good and legitimate team unless you're in random only. While each battle is occurring, everyone who isn't battling that round will spectate.
The winner of each tourney will receive a special prize in stuff.
