Alright, ladies and gents, sign-ups have closed and Azure Sage has volunteered to take the last place so we have an even 16.



Look at that perfect 16-bracket.

@Terminus should our teams be created as "Gen 8 National Dex" or "Gen 8 National Dex AG" format on Pokémon Showdown?

AG stands for Anything Goes. It's literally "who can make the most busted team" tier.

Just a sidenote but for some reason Showdown shows pokémon that aren't/weren't OU or UU as "Illegal" or "Banned", but they might be fine to use.
To verify if your team is legal in the format, set your team to that tier and use the validate team tool.

I asked someone about this, it's just a visual bug. All pokemon that you think are legal are legal.
illegal moves are still illegal tho

I know the holiday season is a busy time for people, but if people could aim for having their Round 1 matches by Thursday at noon that would be great.

Sorry for being late to announce that I won't be participating in this event. I got plenty busy and I am still busy, so I don't really have the time to make up a team and take part in the action. Good luck to you all, though. Have fun, win big, lose good and don't feel down if you do, represent, win that tourney.

I think Showdown is down right now, cuz it's not letting me validate my team, and it's taking forever to log in.

Hooray for winning by default.
