This is the event thread for Friday 25th September!
Explanation
The PokéMarathon is a tournament format that we are currently trying out to allow for a large portion of the community to compete and to allow for a large amount of usage statistics to be gathered in a small amount of time. With the recent Gengar suspect test we feel that a large amount of OU usage will be beneficial for the Tier Council when it comes time for them to decide the best course of action for the meta. There will be 3 64 man OU tournaments held over 3 days. During these tournaments, you will receive points for every round you advance in the bracket. The player who accumulates the most points over the duration of the PokéMarathon will claim victory and the first place prize! The points will be allocated as such:
Advance to Round 2: +1 Point
Advance to Round 3: +1 Point
Advance to Round 4: +1 Point
Advance to Semi Finals: +2 Points
Finals: Winner: +3 Points Runner Up: +2 Points
