• Bringing a Pokemon not legal for NatDex NU will result in a forfeit of that match, please double check your teams.
• Best of three, single elimination
• Battles should take place on Pokemon Showdown!
• Standard battle clauses
• Replays are required!

Scheduling Recommendations:

• Contact your opponent as soon as possible. Include what your available times are and your timezone in this initial contact.
• When scheduling, offer the widest range of time possible to play. Just mentioning one or two specific times is likely insufficient.
• Schedule specifically - do not schedule for "Friday afternoon" or "Sunday morning", pick a date, a time and note the timezone.
• If you both are unable to find a time to schedule, you may request an extension (which are given at the hosts' discretion)

I'm aware of how small this tour is, but given how only 6 players remain it is imperative that you play your matches for future rounds.
Round 3 will be up shortly.

Also to players who are not aware, Obstagoon has been banned by council vote and will be illegal for the next rounds.
