CAL presents... The Build n' Battle Tournament! SIGN UPS CLOSED!

That certainly rings true in this tournament! Hello, everybody, and welcome to the CAL Build n' Battle! In this tourney, players will join forces to climb the ranks--one will act as the team builder while the other plays the matches. Only through close cooperation will a pair emerge victorious...

Here's how this will work. You'll pick a partner and enter the competition (come up with team names if you like). Every round, one of you must build a team from scratch, and your partner must battle with it. Some rules/things to note:

• The tournament will be played in the OU tier.
  
• You can change who builds and who battles each round--you aren't locked into your first selection.
  
• Team Builders may not collaborate with anyone when building their teams.
  
• Battlers must play with the exact team they received from their Team Builder--nothing may be changed.
  
• Each pair must build a new team every round, and a minimum of 3 Pokemon must be changed from team to team. This rule exists to help prevent people from recycling concepts and to ensure new teams are being created. (NOTE: This doesn't mean you can swap three out after Round 1 and swap those same three back in after Round 2. They need to be genuinely new teams. We'll know if they aren't because you're PMing them to us--read below.)
  
• Team Builders must PM a copy of their team to both their partner and an admin (I'll specify which ones after we finish sign-ups, also not Marriland Admins. CAL Admins.) at the start of each round. When PMing teams to both of these people, don't send anything but the shoddy text. Team Builders cannot coach the Battler or explain anything about the team--that's for them to figure out. (Don't worry about the admins seeing your teams; we'll work it out so you won't be PMing someone you're battling, and since we're making new teams each round, there shouldn't be any problems.)
  
• The PMs should occur on CAL, which has a link posted thrice in this topic and once in my signature. If you are unable to join PM me here and we will figure out the situation.

As always, Standard League Rules apply in all matches. The tournament is single elimination, and will be held on the Smogon server of Shoddybattle. We're looking for 16 teams, 32 players total. Sign-ups will begin on Monday, July 13 and continue through Tuesday, July 28, unless they fill up before then. Both players on a team must post here to confirm their pairing. Additionally, if you'd like to sign up but don't have a partner, you can register as a Free Agent. We'll put you with somebody else before the tournament starts. Anyways, this is sure to be a lot of fun, so make sure you sign up before it's two late! (Yes, that was a miserable pun. I'm Copy+Pasting this, don't crucify me).

I would be interested but it depends on when the tourney starts i wont be able to participate if it started before August 8th.

Do we pm who we want to be with (if they already asked us) or should we just say it here

So, to be clear, you CANNOT work with your partner on your team? But anyways, i'd like to join. If its not too much to ask, can i be paired up with someone from the SOS brigade?

Bah, I will join too......If dan wants too, we can be partners.

Allow me to clarify things.

-The partners post their entry HERE.
-The tourney starts before August 8th
-You may NOT work with your partner on the team.
-If you are signed up as a FreeAgent we will assign you another one on your team, if you don't want that find someone to pair with specifically.

Fine, I am a free agent. >_>

...I missed that part of your post. Shit. I'm sorry, brawler, I jumped to the questions and missed your post entirely. I can't edit the bracket, but I hope you don't take it personally. I'm truly sorry...

If it is alright with you, and Lee Brawler can take my spot, he posted before me.
