Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I think that this tourney needs a little something extra, probably just a little bit of moxie ;).
R1 will last 5 days from tonight, as I know that everyone is busier after summer ends, you have till 9/27 (Thursday) at 11:59 pm GMT -5 to get this done, best of luck everyone!
