Welcome to the first-ever Anything Goes Ban Happy Tournament! One of the hallmarks of AG is the ability to use any Pokemon, any item, any moves, with no restrictions. This tournament completely changes this, enabling a player to ban one Pokemon, item, or move for their matches. Here are the general rules:

1. Each player gets to ban one (1) Pokemon, item, or move upon signing up. The player has until Round 1 to finalize their ban.
2. Each player gains 1 additional ban upon winning a round. For example, players have 1 ban in round 1, 2 bans in round 2, 3 bans in round 3 and so on.
3. In the event 2 users choose the same ban, an extra ban will not be given.
4. In the event a user chooses something to ban that isn't in SS AG (i.e. Arceus, Primal Groudon), I will randomly pick one Pokemon from B- and up on the AG VR to decide that user's ban.
5. If the bans are broken during the game, the player who went against the ban will be disqualified.
6. The tournament is single elimination.
7. Battles are best-of-one, standard Gen 8 Anything Goes (SS).
8. You will also have a week to complete your battles, and extensions may be arranged if the situation calls for it. Replays are required.
9. General tournament guidelines
10. How to schedule

The signups will remain open until Sunday, October 3rd or whenever 32 or 48 signups are reached. Say "in" along with your ban to sign up!
