Can still defend against this! Just had to do a bit of reasearch.

Yup! Even if you’re a few posts shy I’ll probably let ya through

Sign-up update

OU Singles: 15
VGC 2015: 16

With quite a few competitors choosing to only participate in one bracket, meaning we’ve got quite the varied player base.

Keep the sign-ups coming, folks! Let’s make Gen 6 E4’s biggest tournament yet. With the Little Cup bracket offering new players the chance to go far, this is the perfect opportunity to get your feet wet with competitive Pokemon battling.

Might as well just award you the champion badges since Mega Lopunny is a thing now

I’ have absolutely zero experience with this but those badges are too cute not to try!

Looking forward to it!

@ddk when do we kick off?

Monday, May 19th!

A reminder for everyone that registration is still open until May 18. Please don’t be shy and sign up, even if you’ve never played competitive before. We have lots of beginners joining for the first time and a amateurs bracket (little cup) for those who don’t qualify for top 8 to play more games!

Is May 19th the day we need to DM you our VGC teams? Or just the day we need to say we’re gonna play

That’s the deadline for team submissions. Again, we can’t start until we have everyone’s teams.

Few question around Little Cup. Are there two separate LC brackets, one for singles and one for doubles? And if so, when do those teams need to be submitted by? Thanks!
