Alright, we're getting down to it now folks. Just 14 days until the official Tournament, as of this posting. Unless someone else throws their balls in the ring (wow Pokemon sounds dirty sometimes...) we shall have three Gym Leaders and the traditional Elite Four afterward. Hopefully we'll eventually get a few more Gym Leaders to add to the list, but that's an issue for later. On the 30th, the tournament will progress as such:
The victor of the tourney will be the highest ranking member of the Elite Four. The runner up will be second, and so on. That leaves the three who lose in the first round as our Gym Leaders.
Since they'll all have lost in the first round, however, that doesn't really establish their rank. The most obvious solution to me is to have a second mini-tournament among those three to determine their places. But, I'm open to suggestions if other ideas occur to anyone. Like maybe going off of how many of their opponent's pokeymanz each Gym Leader to be manages to take down before losing, or some such.
Also, the tournament is once more uneven due to Drake joining our ranks, unless another trainer signs up between now and then. So, if everyone who has signed up attends, Drake will be seeded in the first round and automatically qualify for the semi-finals. On the other hand, Kris has not returned yet at this time, so if he is not in attendance for the tournament, I shall change the lineup to pit Drake against myself in the first round.
