Who can enter: anybody who wants to learn a bunch of different tiers, regardless of whether you're a tutee or not!
Format:
- 64 players, 8 teams (which we will call classes because it's B101), 8 players per class. Each class gets x amount of teachers who specialize in certain tiers who will be assigned to teach, ghost, practice against, do whatever it takes to get their team to win. Hopefully this will be a good experience for people who didn't get selected in a B101 round to work alongside a good battler and get some advice.
- The 8 classes will be split into two divisions, which we will call schools. Each school has 4 classes, and they will all fight against the opposing school. Each class will fight a different class within the opposing school every week.
- The classes will then be seeded based on record, and will all be put into an 8 man team tournament for the remainder of the tournament.
- Tiers will rotate depending on what kinds of teachers are willing to participate. Every week should ideally be a new tier, but we'll see after we get a general idea of how many teachers per tier/metagame.
- An added challenge to every round: each class will be forced to play with a specific core of pokemon designated by the tournament host. Try to innovate and think outside the box!
