Test posting in this thread will result in being unable to participate in the tournament. Please only sign up players who have asked you to in order to prevent any confusion the day of the tournament. Registration is based on Forum Time. Registration will be randomized, meaning bracket participants are randomly drawn from the in games names that are posted during registration, reserve spots will be first come first serve. Posting during the registration time span does not guarantee you a spot in the Tournament.

Notes:
Do not AFK Timeout your opponent unless your referee has stated you may.

Disconnecting during a match when result in a DQ.

Do not block your opponents, or the Staff running the Event. If there is evidence of this and disregarding staff requesting you to unblock said individuals you will be DQ'd.

Volpi Clause (requesting to change channels for your matches) will not be allowed for this tournament. Entrants are encouraged to uncheck "Render Overworld in Battle". (Menu -> Settings -> Video).

If you are on the bracket for this tournament and cannot attend please send me a PM, or post in the discussion thread letting me know you cannot make it, this lessens the time it takes for signs ups the day of the tournament. Thanks in advance.

I have posted this well in advance so that discussion regarding the NU Tier can be conducted. The banned Pokemon lists will be updated as late as the day of registration but not afterwards. This tournament is to test the current interest in this tier. Feel free to post comments, concerns, feedback and questions in this thread. I am looking forward to seeing how this goes in order to determine if this can be repeated in the near future.

Winners.

Persian masterrace

[NaitDawg]

I was fumbling around looking for ShiChan on the staff listing until i realized i was looking at a shortened "ShinyChansey".

[DopestDope]

Stop trying to force NU. k thanks

[TrainerAaron]

I couldn't find a guide to the Teirs here, so I looked it up are we using [url=http://pokemon.neoseeker.com/wiki/Tier_listings#Never_Used_.28NU.29]this[/url] to tell NU pokes?

No. Anything not on the above banlists is considered acceptable in NU

[Gilgamesh]

 

Anybody not using a Parasect is scum and don't deserve to win this tournament.

 

I hereby request you enforce a Parasect Clause where all entrants must use a Parasect and anyone who forgets to bring theirs must be eliminated immediately.

oh nice, i like how you get your choice of prizes but my only concern is the 6v6. not many people have NUs, i think for the first NU tournament 4v4 would be better imo

[Ectozone]

I have no nu for the moment but I would be happy to build a team for this date if it was moved to 3v3 or 4v4.

You may be correct in hindsight but my reasoning was that I am giving such a large window for people to prepare teams that I may as well try out the 6v6 format. Hopefully it goes okay. 

[Rigamorty]

I think a switch to 4v4 would be a pretty good idea. I also think you probably should've waited for a few more unofficial NUs to happen before making an official so we could get a better ban list going.

 

Buuuut since we didn't wait for that I'll start breeding some Hitmonchan and Glalie right now.

 

EDIT: but at least the prize is appropriate. 

[Govictory]

SO AMPED :D

if their was a NU list like their is a OU, UU, NFE, and little cup list that'd be great.

 

so this?https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/28596-unofficial-nu-list/

is it accurate?

I have no clue if its accurate, last time I read it it wasn't.  Just see if the pokemon you want to use is on either of the other two lists. If it isn't, you're golden.

Dewgong master race :3

Dunsparce master race ^.^

octillery should be banned, it was a mistake that it wasnt on the list as seen in the uu thread.

octillery is slow and has horrible defenses

[Senile]

octillery is slow and has horrible defenses

First of all, base 75 defences across the board isn't that bad at all, especially in NU. Second of all, pure Water isn't exactly a bad typing defensively. (Cough, cough, bulky waters)

Besides that, this discussion goes in the UU list thread, not here.

no! don't take us back to the wretched 4v4! i caught/bred and trained 4 UU's in 4 days this week and bred 100+ other pokemon. dont dumb down the tournament because someone doesnt want to do the work to train/breed/grind for it.
