Holy crap this tournament has title sponsors (The Legend Run and ASBet)
Lore, Legends And More Action Tournament
LLAMA is a Tournament that is done in the style of the ASB Factory Tournament and Sharing is Caring, Kinda tournament where what Pokémon you own is not relevant. The idea of LLAMA is to give you the chance to use any Pokémon you want except for those that are banned. This also gives people a chance to use one of the very powerful legendary Pokémon they would never have the chance to use otherwise. These Legendary Pokémon have been supplied in cages to use by one of our title sponsors: The Legend Run. In case you are wondering where they came from.
Battle Rules
Once the Tournament starts, a thread will be posted and it will house everyone's team. There will also be round threads, etc.
At the start of each round, the brackets will be chosen and referees for each match will be chosen. From there, you must PM the referee the three Pokémon from your team of five that you will use for the round. You have five days to do this. Once the referee gets both teams, they will post the battle. The Battle Rules and format will be talked about later.
Prizes
Battle
Winner: 3 CC, 5 UC
Loser: 3 CC
Referee: 1.5 × The usual payout (Generally 15 UC).
No counters for Pokémon.
Overall
1st place: Keep the Legend they chose + one non-legendary Pokémon they chose.
2nd place: Keep the Legend they chose.
3rd place: Keep one non-legendary Pokémon they chose.
Betting Ring
I gave up on this, see below.
==============================
Format:
Finally, the three finalists play round-robin matches to determine their placing.
We are now in the knockout stages of the tournament. Winning will advance you to the next stage of the Tournament while losing will eliminate you from the tournament. We will be using the same DQ policy as the Group Stages.
BATTLE RULES
3v3 Singles
Enforced 2 Day DQ Time for players, 3 for referees. Each player has one DQ warning a match. Go over once, you will use your warning. Go over twice, you will be DQed. This will be at the discretion of the player or one of the hosts if the player takes too long. Referees going over DQ will probably be sacked and replaced.
Infinite Recoveries/Chills per Pokémon.
Three Substitutions per player excluding KO Substitutions.
One Mega Evolution
Switch = OK
Abilities = ALL
Items = ON; you do not have to have the item in possession but the item must not be banned, similar to SICK (Banned Items: Soul Dew, Dark Stone, Light Stone, Diancite, Prison Bottle).
Arena: ASB Tournament Arena
If there are matches still going on come Saturday the 12th of September at Midnight (GMT +00:00), then the DQ Times of those matches will shorten to 1 Day Player, 1 Day Referee.
For semis matchups, this was done in a way that no one can fight someone in their pool until the final round and the matchups reflect this. Without further ado (XY means the winner of the match between the two members from each pool):
CF vs. EB
AE vs. DC
FD vs. BA
Which translates to...
Maxim vs. S0L1D G0LD (Referee: YellowAdminSilver) (Thread)
Elevator Music vs. Frosty (Referee: Its_A_Random) (Thread)
Gale Wing Srock vs. Texas Cloverleaf (Referee: Dogfish44) (Thread)
If one referee bails out, Black Heart will be the first replacement.
If one player bails out, then the user they beat in the Quarter Finals will replace them and if that user bails out, then their opponent simply advances.
Referees: If you cannot finish a reffing, let me know in advance and I will get someone to sub-referee without jeopardising your hopes of refereeing in future rounds.
=============================
Also if it was not clear by now I have given up on the betting ring. Little interest meant I decided to give it the prediction tournament treatment because nothing involving them ever gets done right?
Okay that is about it, happy betting / battling / refereeing!

I gave up on this, see below.
==============================
Format:
- 36 participants will be split into 6 groups of 6 each.
- 3 rounds of Swiss will be played, where the first round will have to be done with random seeding, and the other two based on your record.
- This means we'll see a total of 16 matches per round for 3 rounds.
- If you win a Swiss round, you score 1. If you lose, you score 0.
- After 3 Swiss rounds, the two top-scoring players from each group will advance to the single elimination rounds.
- In the event of a tie within any group, tie-breaker is determined by ratio of (Total HP percentage damage dealt) : (Total HP percentage damage taken)
- What this means is that the first part is effectively double elimination and you will need to win 2 matches at least to have a chance of advancing.
Finally, the three finalists play round-robin matches to determine their placing.
