Speed Matters
Like many tiers, a single boost in speed in Ubers can often change the entire outcome of the match as revenge killing becomes significantly harder - resulting in a (relatively) high dependence on priority attacks such as Extremespeed, Sucker Punch, etc. But what would Ubers look like if everyone moved EXACTLY as they should, had no way to change their speed, and no access to priority? If you're interested in knowing or finding out - sign up now!
This tournament will test your teambuilding and (hopefully) promote creativity and reward those who think this 'new meta' through. Good luck!
Tournament Rules
Rounds will last one week apiece with the possible exception of Round 1 lasting two weeks (in case this hits a high number of entrants). I encourage everybody to post when they are active and ready to play so that I can gauge activity at the end of the round. Otherwise, unfinished match advancements will be decided by coin flips.
Good luck to all the entrants!!!
Round 3

- If you find an exception or perhaps a rule I forgot, this does NOT entitle you to abuse any loophole.

Just because something is not listed here does NOT mean it's allowed if it subverts the "theme" of the tournament. USE COMMON SENSE!!!
- If you are unsure about anything feel free to VM/PM me here on Smogon or find me on smogtours/main server under the name Crestfall.
