ETS
European Trainer Showdown
A Team Europe tournament
Hosted by Eskil Vestre

LAST UPDATED: August 6th

Welcome to our first ever Team Europe Apprentice tourney! This tourney will be held Saturday, September 8th.
We'll start at 9 PM Norwegian time. This time is exactly the same as in Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Germany and many more.
But if you live far away, just check in an atlas to be sure what the time difference is so you don't miss it.
If you don't know what Apprentice is, check out Pojo's guide to Apprentice.
I'll make a list of all the people who join.
Here's the almost final list:
 
Name Country Signed Up
Tobias "Spug" Langhoff Norway YES
Joonas Vaittinen (Jona Asih) Finland YES
Faisal Kahn (Freddy K) UK MAYBE 
Erik Nordbø (Scizor_212) Norway YES
Christoffer Dahlby (SauroN) Sweden YES
Eskil Vestre (Golduck) Norway YES
"The Thinker" Italy YES
Lena "Dumbledore" Bergstrøm Sweden YES
Andreas Nakkerud (Loco) Norway YES

Only members of Team Europe can play in this tourney. If you're not a member, you could always become one and join too.
We will all meet in the irc chatroom "#teameuropetourney" on that Saturday.
Don't know how to get there? Just go to Pojo's Apprentice League chat, like you highly likely have been to, and write "/join <#teameuropetourney>".
To sign up, send an e-mail to pokemon@vestre.net ASAP.

Rules
The tourney will have 4 starting rounds.
If we are less then 16 people, 4 of us will be chosen for the finals.
If we're 16 or more, 8 of us will.

The pairings for each round will be drawn at random. So Resistance will not apply.
Why? To make it easier for me to organize,  and because Resistance is all a matter of luck anyways.
If you face an opponent you've already played in one of the previous rounds, you will be drawn a new opponent at random.
This does not apply in the final rounds.

The format will be US Standard.
Base, Jungle, Fossil, Heroes, Challenge, Genesis, Discovery, Southern Islands & all Promos except Ancient Mew (who'd use it anyway? ) and Birthday Pika.
