Registration will open 30 minutes prior to the tournament. You will be able to register for a tournament on the top floor of a Pokemon Centre, through the battle PC. The PC you need is the one on the right, which I am standing in front of in the picture below. You can also register for the tournament by clicking the PvP menu option (Masterball icon on the bottom right of your client).

 

 

 

When a Tournament enters the sign-up stage, it's announced globally via a system message:

 

 

When this message is displayed, players can sign up for a tournament one of two ways:

 

1.)

 

They can go to the top of any PC and speak to the NPC on the far right to bring up the following window:

 

 

2.)

 

They can click the PvP icon on the bottom right of their screen and select 'Tournament Signup':

 

 

Which will again bring up this window:

 

 

 

To sign up for a tournament, the player only needs to click the 'Register' button in this window and they will be entered into the queue:

Please suggest alternatives to the prize here. As far as I am aware, this will be a monthly tournament and in future it will branch out to UU/NU/Doubles. I'm not entirely sure if you are expecting a massive prize like a Shiny Starter but that is obviously not doable given the frequency and size of the tournament.

 

If you wanted to make argument for a change in prize/bracket size/overall system please make a post in the above thread as the higher staff are more likely to see it there and take your points on board.

I request that a reset of the entire ladder be made between these tournaments. Kind of pointless to let the leaders keep their headstart month in and month out.

Was expecting a shiny prize or a rarer variety to what we usually get, I'm not going to go out of my way to ladder high for a 2m tournament. 

 

Edit: not gonna argue for better prizes, it's been done before. Just hoping it gets improved in the future

this. having a decay system where the decay is a slight reduction every month is practically nothing.

At what point does this open to reserves?
