Match #8: 31/12/2014
Rules:
BATTLE NAME: Everything happens in Inverse
Format: 3v3
Style: Singles
Chills/Recovery: 5 chills / 2 recoveries
Disqualification: 3 Day DQ / 4 Day Ref DQ
Substitution Rules: 3 + KO Substitutions
Switch Rules: OK
Item Rules: On
Ability Rules: All
Arena: ASB Tournament Arena
Mega Evolutions: 1 per team
SPECIAL RULE: The type chart is reversed, making all weaknesses become resistances, All resistances become weaknesses, and all immunities become 2× weaknesses. Freeze Dry's SE effect has no effect and any abilities and moves that alter resistances/weaknesses remain the same.
Rules are simple and intend to showcase the current metagame now that Gen VI came and settled.
Prizes consist of normal battle counters (that's 2 CC per trainer and 1 EC, 2 MC, 1 AC and any gained KO Counters per participating Pokemon). The winner receives 5 UC to spend as well and, of course, will be recorded as a Highlight Match winner!
Reffing
Anyone that wishes to ref this battle may PM me stating their qualifications to ref. I will choose one ref and one subref to avoid problems if the original ref has a conflict. Referees recieve the heightened rewards for gym battles, to represent the stricter DQ time and exceptional work needed to display.
NEW RULE: Referees will now gain 1.5× Normal Pay from matches to reflect the higher standard of the matches.

On this poll we will choose the pool of players from which the contestants will come. You can vote in as many as you want and the top 5 players that get most votes will proceed to the next polls. If someone has a supermajority (more votes than the others combined), then that user will go straight into the HLM.
The options of this pool are all players that made the cut in the last thread.
This will last 24 hours.
Gale Wing Srock has agreed on IRC to referee this match. I need a backup just in case. Contact me if you are interested.
